PROFILE

Mark Buser

Worked on the rdkcentral/middleware-player-interface repository, delivering platform stability improvements, interactive CLI tools, and enhanced CI coverage reporting over three months. Focused on cross-platform build reliability, particularly for macOS and Ubuntu, by refining CMake-based build systems and improving dependency management for OpenSSL, libcjson, and GLIB. Developed and extended a CLI testing harness in C++ and Bash, enabling interactive validation of player interface features such as video rectangle configuration and playback control. Automated code coverage reporting within CI/CD pipelines, increasing test visibility and quality tracking. Emphasized robust build automation, test automation, and code hygiene to support maintainable, production-ready middleware components.

In August 2025, delivered key improvements to the middleware-player-interface repository, focusing on enhancing CLI capabilities and cross-platform build stability. The PI-CLI now supports configuring video rectangle parameters via a dedicated setvideorectangle command, with cleanup of legacy registrations and callback initializations added in main to prevent crashes, improving usability and reliability for end users. Build stability was significantly improved on MacOS and Ubuntu containers by refining CMakeLists.txt to correctly locate and link OpenSSL, libcjson, and GLIB, removing outdated build scripts, and strengthening dependency handling for cross-environment consistency. These changes reduce maintenance risk, accelerate feature delivery, and underpin more robust performance in production environments. Technologies demonstrated include CMake-based build orchestration, CLI design and usability improvements, cross-platform compatibility, and strong code hygiene.
