The Youtube Parser doesn't work anymore.

Hello, my extension 'progress' https://addons.videolan.org/p/1154006/ does the 'opposite', that is, if playcount > 0, then, input starts at 0, else it resumes to the last known position. Though, 'progress' itself stores playcount and last known position while running, and, idk where your podcasts ge...

Hi, ad 1) There are atm 462998 entries, nevertheless one can define a filter rule to match them... ad 2) mediathek is tested to work under windows 7 x64 with 7zip installed into the default/standard directory (s.t. mediathek can find it). 7zip is only necessary if the LZMA module is missing to vlc, ...

@franc modified to react on play/pause/stop and changed input (vlc 3): -- Playlist total duration -- Simple extension that shows the current playlist's total duration -- Lua scripts are tried in alphabetical order in the user's VLC config directory -- lua/{playlist,meta,intf}/ subdirectory on Window...

Hi,
is there a way to get the lzma stream_filter module for vlc 3
on windows 7 to work (without compiling)?
thanks in advance

Hi,
The path would have been
C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\sd\mediathek.lua
but vlc MUST also have installed a module to decompress LZMA (afaik).
My windows test installation didn't provide it, so, mediathek is untested on windows.
Feedback is welcome.
regards

There are ways to make it work.
The extension from the first post seems to be open for feature requests (but idk, maybe it is dead), worth trying.

I am glad that You got it working. Instruction-wise there is potential for improvement, but, more surprisingly (to me) nodes are created when typing in the text box even without hitting Enter. There is no (obvious (after a quick test)) way to decide whether a given query is "spontanous" ;(...

Hello Peripatus, top-right to the box where the program list should appear there is (or imho should be) a search-field ready to consume keyboard input. Type in Tatort followed by an Enter. (In theory) Then a node is created in the box and will be populated (took 40secs here). In case You were at tha...

Thanks for info.

Hi forum,
I would like to use HTTPS requests in some (VLC, Lua) project.
I am grateful for any guidance.

but there is no io.copy. true. Untested: copy = function(from, to) local io = vlc.io or io local ff, err = io.open(from, "rb") if not ff then return nil, err end local ft, err = io.open(to, "wb") if not ft then return ft, err end local sz = 2^16 repeat local s = ff:read(sz) unti...

It depends, but maybe vlc.io Input/Output ------------ All path for this namespace are expected to be passed as UTF8 strings. io.mkdir("path", "mode"): Similar to mkdir(2). The mode is passed as a string to allow for octal representations. This returns a success code (non 0 in ca...

For comfort! :) After one-click activation of mediathek it populates all my past queries and I can browse through it. The screenshot at https://addons.videolan.org/p/1241457/ shows a playlist set up prior to activation through the search field (not hardcoded). There are also minor reasons for cachin...

It is for the mediathek sd script. There, persistence is needed (queries are persistent, database is also cached). In sd scripts (environment) vlc.config is nil, so, in absence of vlc.config.userdatadir I am about to build some search path (atm it is only ~/.local/share/vlc), s.t. other systems can ...

Does anybody have a list of directories vlc might use as userdatadir (on different systems)?

Organized via persistent queries fully manipulated through the search field.

Thanks mederi.
Btw, having different units for duration and, say, time is suboptimal.

A user reports this extension doesn't work on vlc release 3.0.2. Are there any major changes? There is up to no diff between the README.txt files. Here are the occuring calls if it helps helping me: vlc.config.userdatadir() vlc.input.item() vlc.input.item():duration() vlc.input.item():uri() vlc.obje...

Try to wrap your code into a function called activate, i.e: function activate() --[[ your code ]] end To print a message, You can use e.g: vlc.msg.info("Hello World!") IIRC vlc uses Lua5.2, but it should be possible to just print _VERSION. Modules not compatible to _VERSION cannot be loade...

Hi,
is a (e.g. the default) vlc interface able to print the timecode as desired? (Cannot test atm)

You could repeat (some 10 times) open+read stream until json.decode succeed, ugly but could work as there is some chance to get the whole json. At the cost of having wget on Your (linux) machine this is nicer: -- -- di_vlc.lua - VLC Service Discovery Plugin -- Adds Digital Imported based Radiostatio...
