What is the best way to handle this in mplayer plugin?
Creating a new
- temporary - source?
Sorry, but this is beyond the means of the plugin at the moment.
If you want to come up with a solution, I'll gladly accept it as long as all features are accessible from the OSD as well.
At the end, this is "just" passing the URI to mplayer.sh and have the whole thing controlled by the Mplayer plugin. mplayer.sh archives.depechemode.com/depechemode/video/exclusives/sufferwell_sims320.mov
I made it work in the previous patch of the mplayer plugin by creating a new source: cFileSource *src=new cFileSource(base,"Item to play",false);
"base" containing the protocol (http, rtsp, ...)
Then playing the file is done by: cFileObj *item=new cFileObj(src,"",pch,otFile); cMPlayerControl::SetFile(item,false); cControl::Launch(new cMPlayerControl);
"pch" containing the url, like "archives.depechemode.com/depechemode/video/exclusives/sufferwell_sims320.mo v"
This is probably not fully aligned with how the Mplayer plugin is designed as everything goes through sources :) Maybe creating a new file object type (like otFile) will be the answer. The original patch is at: http://famillejacques.free.fr/vdr/vod/
Thanks, Olivier.
