That's not what I understood Adrian(Triode) meant, however the skip foward/back functionality while the stream is running is what I would like to implement. However to do it would require some mods to the Slimserver - creation of some new client variables and some sort of FFWD/REW callback.
As I see it 1. Need to ensure the elapsed time since start of program is accurate (i.e. unlike present Start functionality) 2. When the stream is playing if a user presses FFWD (or REW), the elapsed time is noted and a new "Start" time is calculated adding/subtracting the required time difference (e.g. +1 min for FFW or -1 Min for rew). 3. Stream is restarted using the URL with new START parameter value. It is unpredictable what would happen on a live stream. It would be best if the latest version of Mplayer is used with Bandwidth parameter - this will ensure a 3 secs delay versus a 15 secs delay when restarting the stream afer FFW/RWED. ( I think a little bit of snooping on RealPlayer will help understand how BBC Player does it now). The user interface of Squeezbox remote will limit the functionality compared to the UI of BBC Player. That said, I still think there is also a need to specify a start time offset before the stream starts - this is what I think Adrian is proposing. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20005 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
