[Mplayerplug-in-devel] some advice on mplayerplug-in code

[Mrc G. <mrc...@gm...>]

hi, kevin,

i'm trying to force synchronicity in the http-get/mms requests over
the 3.35code, but i'm not quite grasping where in the code the event
'mms-ended' and
'playlist-ended' are located. it seems that it is inside 'destroystream()',
but there is a lot of if-cases there and it is not clear to me what exactly
they are doing. what i'm intending to do is the following:

1) comment out npn_geturlnotify() from inside addToList(), so that NO
http-get requests are triggered immediately after the asx list entry is
parsed.
2) trigger the get request (npn_geturl()) in the first element in the
playlist only (where do i do it for the first element only?) to start the
playlist going.
3) *after* the http-get/mms-get response finishes (that's why I need the
location of the *-ended events above, i believe it is inside destroystream()
somewhere), I call npn_geturlnotify()  with the url of the next element in
the playlist, retrieving synchronously the next element.
4) repeat and rinse (3) until we reach the end of the playlist.

as a sidenote, i noticed that mms streams are not called directly by
npn_geturl(), but their urls are passed directly to mplayer (if i call
npn_geturl() on mms streams, firefox opens up an external video player). are
these mms urls also nodes in the playlist? (i'm assuming that a node
structure similar to
asx-parent->asx-entry1->mms1->asx-entry2->mms2->asx-entry3->mms3->null is
built by buildPlaylist() - is this correct?) where is mplayer called?

would you mind to try to give some advice on how i could accomplish the
steps above in the code?
thanks,
[]s,
Marcus

ps: i tried the latest cvs on 16-02-2007, but the outsourcing of
asx3.0playlists to mplayer does not work with
video.globo.com: the asx-parent above (an asx3.0 list containing further
references to other asx3.0 sublists) is not handled correctly for some
reason. but if I call manually the asx-entry-X in mplayer (an asx3.0 sublist
containing only a reference to a mms stream), it plays correctly.
