[Mplayerplug-in-devel] Re: [MPlayer-users] ANNOUNCE: mplayerplug-in v0.30

[Kevin D. <kde...@ya...>]

This conversation really should be moved to=20

mpl...@li...

But I'll try to explain it...

Mozilla give the plugin either a URL or a STREAM depending on if the HTML=
=20
specifies an <A HREF> or <EMBED> tag. The plugin takes the information th=
at=20
it is given and make some decisions.=20

If it is a URL then the plugin calls mplayer to play the file out of the=20
mozilla cache. Plugger test pages for example

If it is a stream, the plug requests the stream from Mozilla, gets the UR=
L out=20
of the stream and then closes the stream and passes the URL for mplayer t=
o=20
play.  Why is this done rather than passing the stream to mplayer?=20

1. Because I don't want to have to deal with demuxing URL's to determine =
if=20
they are reference or content files. If I did this, I might be able to qu=
eue=20
up URL's, but that is not something I am willing to tackle yet.=20

2. If I pass the stream to mplayer and it is a reference file, mplayer do=
es=20
not know where to get the referenced files from so it dies. If it is not =
a=20
reference file I should be able to pass the stream to mplayer. Without=20
demuxing it is impossible to get this right.

3. The wget examples were tests to see how mplayer would respond to refer=
ence=20
files coming from stdin.
