Hello.

I need to pause playback from video filter module.
In function I just have
filter_t* p_filter

How should I correctly do the pause action?

Thanks!

Access the playlist to do it.

How to access the playlist from video filter function?
For Example I situated in
subsdelay.c:
static subpicture_t * SubsdelayFilter( filter_t *p_filter, subpicture_t* p_subpic )
{

// How to get access to playlist from here ?

}

You can't pause from a filter with the current code base. I'm not sure if it would even make sense, but regardless it is not implemented at this point.

Maybe I can send some signal ... somewhere, which will be received and proccessed in some place where playback could be paused?
