Thank you, Prajnashi. Based on your suggestion, I think I should:

- Understand how "URL" is parsed in the OpenCore (to launch a specific
plug-in)
- Write a source node that receives a raw NAL unit from a JAVA
application (P2P layer).
- Understand the communication between the OpenCore process and the
JAVA application (using Binder or shared memory)

I still don't understand where "file parser" is used. Looks like the
new source node which I should add can't communicate with the next
node ( assuming it's a decoder node?) directly. In the OpenCore
source, I see "fileformats/*", where various file formats are defined.
In addition, "nodes/" contain several parser nodes. What folder is
relevant?

Thank you!
Hun
