Elementary comes with two object that help design application that need to display video.

The first one, Efl_Ui_Video, display a video by using Emotion. It embeds the video inside an Edje object, so you can do some animation depending on the video state change. It also implements a resource management policy to remove this burden from the application.

The second one, Elm_Player is a video player that need to be linked with an Efl_Ui_Video. It take care of updating its content according to Emotion event and provide a way to theme itself. It also automatically raises the priority of the linked Efl_Ui_Video so it will use the video decoder, if available. It also activates the "remember" function on the linked Efl_Ui_Video object.
