Add support for configurable player
Added by Hammel about 10 years ago.
Updated almost 10 years ago.
Description
This will allow use of xine for home media use while keeping omxplayer for RPi use.
- Status changed from New to In Progress
- % Done changed from 0 to 20
This is already in the code, configurable through the config file as "player=<cmd>". I need to test this with xine as the player. However, to test it I need a configurable tree to search for the db. This is hardcoded in videofe.c:main(). If I make it configurable then I can search /movies for the movie db and have VideoLib create it there. An even simpler test would be to symlink the Mobile tree to ~/Movies and just create the db in Mobile.
So:
- Make top of db tree configurable via the config file.
- symlink /movies/Cinema-3/Mobile ~/Movies
- Have VideoLib scan ~/Movies/Mobile
Then I can test videofe on the desktop with a configurable player and db tree.
The code changes that make dbTop configuration are in my sandbox. But I need to be on galileo to test them.
- % Done changed from 20 to 50
This feature is extended by the use of multiple player types from RM #450. Still needs to be tested after VideoLib is extended to scan for multiple format types.
- Priority changed from Urgent to Immediate
- Severity changed from 02 - High to 03 - Medium
- Status changed from In Progress to Closed
- % Done changed from 50 to 100
Tested, committed and pushed changes to support configurable players. Multiple players are supported based on video format.
Closing issue.
