mozilla plugin: seek ff / bw

hog · Postby **hog** » 08 Dec 2004 09:33

Hi!

First of all: thanks for vlc - real great work, guys!

I'd like to know, if it's possible to implement (maybe with a little financial aid from my side) seeking ( forward / backward ) into the mozilla plugin?

Or is it completely impossible due to restrictions in the HTTP-protocol?

TIA

mozilla plugin isn't limited to http protocol. And I think it allready support seeking (with hotkeys) where the protocol supports it.

Thank you for your quick reply!

Maybe I should have stated, that I defininitely want to use http, as it allows me to provide a large amount of files (on demand) to my students via APACHE without the need to stream them...
I just load them into the filesystem and dynamically generate html-pages with the file embedded...

Could you tell me, which hotkeys you were talking of?

I already took a quick look at the sources and only found the 4 commands mentioned in the Chapter 7 example:

Code: Select all

/*****************************************************************************
 * Scriptable peer plugin methods
 *****************************************************************************/
NS_IMETHODIMP VlcPeer::Play()
{
    if( p_plugin )
    {
        if( !p_plugin->b_stream && p_plugin->psz_target )
        {
            VLC_AddTarget( p_plugin->i_vlc, p_plugin->psz_target, 0, 0,
                           PLAYLIST_APPEND | PLAYLIST_GO, PLAYLIST_END );
            p_plugin->b_stream = 1;
        }

        VLC_Play( p_plugin->i_vlc );
    }
    return NS_OK;
}

NS_IMETHODIMP VlcPeer::Pause()
{
    if( p_plugin )
    {
        VLC_Pause( p_plugin->i_vlc );
    }
    return NS_OK;
}

NS_IMETHODIMP VlcPeer::Stop()
{
    if( p_plugin )
    {
        VLC_Stop( p_plugin->i_vlc );
        p_plugin->b_stream = 0;
    }
    return NS_OK;
}

NS_IMETHODIMP VlcPeer::Fullscreen()
{
    if( p_plugin )
    {
#ifdef XP_MACOSX
#else
        VLC_FullScreen( p_plugin->i_vlc );
#endif
    }
    return NS_OK;
}

hotkeys like pressing (shift/crtl/alt)left/right when video has focus.

It works over http for some file types, specifically it does not work for avi/mp4.

Thanks again...

Sigmund, you are so right!
ALT-LEFT/RIGHT works - but not with all files...

MPEG1/2 seems to work
MPEG4/divx doesnt
...just as you predicted!

Quicktime seems to work, but Firefox creates a cpu load of 100% and doesnt resume the video... But maybe the few mov-files i have are crap...

mpeg4/divx should work as well if they are contained in ogm or matroska(.mkv). Haven't tried myself yet though
