Hello !

I need to add rtsp streams on a custom SD on the left panel under "Podcasts", "Jamendo Selections", "Icecast Radio Directory" from an extension (not a sd script !)

I've tried :

Code: Select all

t = vlc.sd.add('Test')
vlc.msg.dbg(t)

But il fails

logs :

main debug: looking for services_discovery module matching "Test": 9 candidates
main debug: no services_discovery modules matched
main error: no suitable services discovery module
lua debug: -2

Any Ideas ?

Thx

Probably not.

Code: Select all

	local services=vlc.sd.get_services_names()
	for name,title in pairs(services) do
		vlc.msg.info(name.." "..title)
	end
	vlc.msg.info(tostring(vlc.sd.is_loaded("lua{sd='jamendo'}")))
	vlc.sd.add("lua{sd='jamendo'}")
	vlc.msg.info(tostring(vlc.sd.is_loaded("lua{sd='jamendo'}")))

You can feed the Playlist from extensions.

Code: Select all

vlc.sd.add("lua{sd='TTTTT'}")

main debug: looking for services_discovery module matching "lua": 9 candidates
main debug: set config option: lua-sd to TTTTT
lua error: Couldn't find lua services discovery script "TTTTT".
main debug: no services_discovery modules matched
main error: no suitable services discovery module

It doesn't works

Ant Idea ?

It seems you can only load/activate already available SD. It is quite useless and it is not even available in current master VLC 4 anymore. I think Objects (undocumented Sleeping Beauty

) can provide some more control over VLC. Some related topic https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=155525

Thank's for your reply.

I'm going to be mad

Whith a little dump function on the vlc object, I've the following results:

from SD:

Code: Select all

["sd"] = Table(4)=
  {
    ["add_node"] = function: 000001BD5353E430, 
    ["add_item"] = function: 000001BD5353E610, 
    ["remove_item"] = function: 000001BD5353DCB0, 
    ["remove_node"] = function: 000001BD5353DF20
  },

from extensions :

Code: Select all

["sd"] = Table(4)=
  {
    ["is_loaded"] = function: 00000203C4E77D10, 
    ["remove"] = function: 00000203C4E775F0, 
    ["get_services_names"] = function: 00000203C4E774D0,
    ["add"] = function: 00000203C4E77AD0
  },

As vlc.stream() is broken in SD, I should make an extension to access vlc.net to make my own http:get() client, since vlc.net is not available from SD.
BUT with extensions, I can't add a SD item in the left menu and add my retrieved rstp streams link's (and icons). So I need an existing SD .... infinite loop...

So:

2 solutions :

Solution 1:
Make 2 scripts : 1 SD et 1 Extension. The Extension creates the files downloaded by the available vlc.net object. And the SD use the content of these files to add rstp to the SD playlist.

Solution 2:
Wait for VLC4 and see if situation looks better
