Playlist parser

Postby Co6oJIb » 30 Jul 2016 00:18

I'm trying to create custom playlist parser. It will be used for changing tittle of playlist item. This item is a stream through http by Livestreamer which is used for watching streams from twitch.tv. When i testing my parser i see in vlc console that none of the parsers was not even tried. Help me please. What i'm doing wrong?

Do you correctly validate the path in probe() function? VLC always uses meta title if it is available during parsing/preparsing of playlist item.

Ok. But why VLC didn't try other parsers on this item?
Btw this is my code:

Code: Select all

function probe() return ( string.match( vlc.path, "127.0.0.1" ) ) end function parse() while true do name = "LCK" return { { path = path; name = name } } end end

If I activate the VLC web interface (View > Add Interface > Web) and add its address in VLC playlist (http://127.0.0.1:8080) then there is a success in logs but the returned path is not valid.
