[xine-devel] Extracting video frames from xine

[Tomas G. <tom...@ya...>]

Hi,

I'm working on finding the best way extract the played video frames (preferably
RGB video frames) from libxine, so that it can be used in a different
application, using its own renderer. The purpose of using libxine is mainly to
get DVD-playback.

So far I only see two options, but if you know better, please tell me.

The first option is to create a new video-out driver, which could then (using
network streaming or callbacks) pass the video data to the application.

The second option is to use the "--broadcast-port" feature of xine, and
implement a client/slave feature inside the application receiving the
broadcasted data (both video and audio). The docs are a bit sketchy on how the
broadcast actually works. Does it broadcast decoded (RGB/YUV) or undecoded
data? Is it documented somewhere? 
A thing I noticed with the broadcast/slave feature is that when navigating a
DVD-menu, the slave could not see the marking move in the menu. Is this a bug
or standard behaviour?

I hope you can enlighten me :)

cheers,

Tomas
