I'd like to extend the web interface with the ability to easily switch between DVD Titles, Chapters, Languages and Subtitles and need some kickstart hints.

I'm planning
- to add requests/mediainfo.xml which provides extended information on the currently playing medium such as a list of all DVD chapters, available languages, etc. (I might as well integrate this into status.xml)
- to extend js/functions.js with the code to parse/call above xml structure
- to add corresponding drop down lists and other controls to dialogs/main

To do so, I need your help by pointing me into the right direction concerning the information gathering on the current medium; and the activation of a specific language/subtitle/... I couldn't find anything related to VLC 0.9.8a in the docs - or was I simply using the wrong search terms?

Finally found what I need:

Code: Select all

<root>
	...
	<programs>
		<vlc id="foreach" param1="item" param2="program" />
			<title name="<vlc id="value" param1="item.name xml_encode" />" id="<vlc id="value" param1="item.id xml_encode" />" selected="<vlc id="value" param1="item.selected" />" />
		<vlc id="end" />
	</programs>
	<titles>
		<vlc id="foreach" param1="item" param2="title" />
			<title name="<vlc id="value" param1="item.name xml_encode" />" id="<vlc id="value" param1="item.id xml_encode" />" selected="<vlc id="value" param1="item.selected" />" />
		<vlc id="end" />
	</titles>
	<chapters>
		<vlc id="foreach" param1="item" param2="chapter" />
			<chapter name="<vlc id="value" param1="item.name xml_encode" />" id="<vlc id="value" param1="item.id xml_encode" />" selected="<vlc id="value" param1="item.selected" />" />
		<vlc id="end" />
	</chapters>
	<audiostreams>
		<vlc id="foreach" param1="item" param2="audio-es" />
			<audiostream name="<vlc id="value" param1="item.name xml_encode" />" id="<vlc id="value" param1="item.id xml_encode" />" selected="<vlc id="value" param1="item.selected" />" />
		<vlc id="end" />
	</audiostreams>
	<videostreams>
		<vlc id="foreach" param1="item" param2="video-es" />
			<videostream name="<vlc id="value" param1="item.name xml_encode" />" id="<vlc id="value" param1="item.id xml_encode" />" selected="<vlc id="value" param1="item.selected" />" />
		<vlc id="end" />
	</videostreams>
	<subtitles>
		<vlc id="foreach" param1="item" param2="spu-es" />
			<subtitle name="<vlc id="value" param1="item.name xml_encode" />" id="<vlc id="value" param1="item.id xml_encode" />" selected="<vlc id="value" param1="item.selected" />" />
		<vlc id="end" />
	</subtitles>
</root>

But I'm stuck on activating any of the items in program, title, chapter, audio-es, video-es and spu-es... vlc_var_set ?
