Record option with skins

[psanthu123]

Hi,

I am building my own skin, if i need to have a record button with my skin[Similar to advanced menu record button], is it possible ??
I dont find VLC skins editor exposing Action function vlc.record(). Is is some way possible have record option?(probably adding in xml file and exporting it as .vlt file)

Regards

It doesn't exist in skins.

When erwan10 does it.

Some functions have just been added in the development branch (vlc1.1)

New keywords are :
- vlc.canRecord ( true if current video can be recorded / false otherwise )
- vlc.isRecording ( true if recording is underway / false otherwise)
- vlc.toggleRecord() (function to toggle recording / no recording)
- vlc.nextFrame() (function to go to the next frame)

Example how to use them :

<Checkbox x="11" y="8" up1="record_disabled" up2="record_enabled" action1="vlc.toggleRecord()" action2="vlc.toggleRecord()" tooltiptext1="Record" tooltiptext2="stop Record" state="vlc.isRecording" visible="vlc.canRecord"/>

Woow, thats great news, Is the release vlc1.1 coming some(just curious) ??
Or can i download and use development branch itself, will it be stable[i mean there wont be any issue[complation or run time]]

Most of the time the nightly builds are quite usable and don't have too many issues, but sometimes of course they are bugged.
But you surely can use them for testing.

By the way, the latest development version of the VLC Skin Editor supports these new features, too.
