No... When you press stop the remote sends an event to freevo and freevo sends a command to the stdin of the application to stop. With mplayer the position of the stop can be determined by parsing stdout, this is written to a file, when the player finished then there is no file written and so no resume menu item. When resuming playback freevo reads this file and tells the application where to start from. When playback completes there are no events but the subprocess has finished which freevo can detect. BTW xine-ui doesn't exit so freevo does not return until the stop event is received. There is a play_end event that freevo uses when the stop or the player exits. >>> The reason I'm asking is that I wish to run a specific command based on >>> the filename, if the user has watched the entire video. >>> >>> I was thinking I could either do it as a wrapper around mplayer, or as a >>> plugin for freevo (depending on which is less complicated). >> >> There is a VIDEO_POST_PLAY option in local_conf.py that you can use. >> This was designed for home automation to dim lights at the start and >> restore them at the end. > > I'll look into this one, thanks.
