Hi,
I found the VideoGroups part in Freevo too complicated. Maybe it's
just me, but maybe we should use a simpler layout. Here a suggestion,
let me know if I missed something:
We have one Channel list. This list has everything we can play. The
tunerfreq will be changed to _how_ to play this:
CHANNEL_LIST = [
('ard.de', 'ARD', 'dvb:Das Erste'),
('zdf.de', 'ZDF', 'dvb:ZDF'),
('vox.de', 'VOX', 'tv:1234'),
('rtl.de', 'RTL', 'ivtv:1234'),
('', 'My Webcam', 'cam:0') ]
The first two channels are shown by using a dvb backend. Whatever this
is. The 3rd. is analog tv on tuner id 1234, the 4th using the ivtv
backend on tunerid 1234 and the last is a webcam.
Now, how to play this? When Freevo wants to tune to that channel, it
will ask every plugin 'can you show dvb:ZDF?'. The tvtime plugin will
say no, others like mplayer and xine will say yes. The best player
will be taken. About the cam:0, you can set special url handlers for
some player. E.g. TV_MPLAYER_URLS['cam:0'] = 'needed mplayer
args'. Since xine and other don't know about cam:0, they will reject
playing. Mplayer knows and will be taken.
Is it too simple or could it work?
