[xine-devel] Mozilla Plugin

[Steven C. <st...@oe...>]

Hello all,

    I'm writing a Mozilla plugin using the xine engine to play audio and
video. I'm doing this for a Mozilla (XUL/JS) based media player so
I need the plugin to be scriptable from JavaScript, therefore the plugin
that already exists in CVS for Netscape isn't suitable for me. I've got
everything working pretty nicely except for what appears to be a frame
rate problem when playing video. The video plays and the colors are all
fine, the audio is also normal. But it looks like it's skipping a number
of frames, so the video is really "choppy". I've seen other posts where
someone was getting a similar result using the XShm video out plugin and
the fix was to add something to the windows event loop. I'm using the Xv
video out plugin, so I wonder if there is a similar fix for that? As far
as I can tell I should be doing everything pretty much the same as it's
being done in the default Xine player (which plays the same movie
perfectly).

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Steve Crouse
