[xine-devel] dxr3 decoder plugin and video size detection

[Mike L. <mi...@we...>]

Hi,

I've implemented a small mpeg header parser for the dxr3 decoder plugin in 
order to detect input video resolution and aspect ratio [just 4 lines of 
bit-wise blather :)] for navigational mouse scaling etc.

My question is twofold:

A)  Do you have any objections? (the code is run only once per file and there 
is essentially no cpu increase.  It also has the advantage (over input plugin 
detection etc) that the correct size and aspect ratio is detected even when 
piped from stdin.

B)  What do you think the best way of sending this info from the dxr3 decoder 
plugin to the vo plugin would be?  I assume that a new event type would need 
to be implemented, is that correct?

Regards

Mike
