[xine-devel] --audio-language command line option?

[<de...@ov...>]

Hello,

I'm new to this list, so I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere 
previously, but I didn't see anything about it.

Essentially, I've been looking for an equivalent to the -alang command 
line option in MPlayer or the --audio-language command line option for 
VLC. --audio-channel wasn't really what I was looking for, as I needed 
this to automatically choose an English track if one existed, since I 
run it with a remote control on a MythTV machine. I took a look in the 
code for a while, and implemented it for myself.

I'd like to submit a patch to xine-ui for the feature, if nothing like 
this already exists, but I'm not too familiar with the rest of the code 
base. Right now I'm just storing the command line parameter and in 
_gui_xine_play() if the stream parameter 
XINE_PARAM_AUDIO_CHANNEL_LOGICAL is -1, it loops through each audio 
channel and compares the language of each channel with the parameter, 
and if there is a match it changes XINE_PARAM_AUDIO_CHANNEL_LOGICAL to 
that channel. It seems as if there should be a better way to do this 
though, honestly.

Anyway, I thought I would send out an e-mail to this list to get some 
proper feedback on the idea.

Thank you,
