Mozilla Firefox VLC plugin questions

[jgg]

Hi there,

I have four simple questions:

1. When creating a playlist with the Firefox VLC plugin and adding local and RTSP streaming contents, once the first streamed content finishes, the player hooks and never starts playing the following file (it doesn't matter if it is a local or a streamed one). In addition, while the streamed content is being played, if I try to jump to the next item in the playlist with vlc.playlist.next(), it happens the same. Is there any bug regarding that? It is sent the TEARDOWN RTSP message to the RTSP server when the streamed content is finished or skipped?

2. Using vlc.playlist.add(mrl, name, options), what is the 'name' argument for? What can it be used for?

3. I know that vlc.playlist.getItemCount() or vlc.playlist.items.count() returns the number of items added to the playlist, and I know that vlc.playlist.playitem(number) (where number is the item identifier and not an index) skips directly to the item with number as identifier, so I wonder how could I get the item identifier of the item in the playlist that is being played in any moment. In the end, what I would like to know is which content is being played. Is there any way to do it?

4. How can I tell the VLC FF plugin not to show the stderr messages, so, pass the '--quiet' option?

Thank you,
Javi

Hi

normally it should be possible to add options in javascript, for example:

Code: Select all

var options = new Array("--quiet");

before calling

Code: Select all

vlc.playlist.add(targetURL, null, options);

but the plugin seems unable to use the quiet option...
for example, if the URL is wrong or the proxy is not configured correctly, the javascript popup message

"no suiteble access module for "targetURL" "

shows up anyway.

Did you find a solution in the meanwhile?

Best regards
