Developing plugins

It expects an MPEG2 program stream.

can you set the track number position in the audio playlist directly? also can you quickly get the current track, and total number of tracks, without have to get the entire ilist?
something like pluginhelper.getcurrenttracknumber() pluginhelper.gettotalnumberoftracks()
if not sub would you consider adding these methods? the only one i can see is the PluginHelperFactory.getPluginHelper().GetAudioPlayList(out current,out length, out playback); which grabs the entire ilist, which i dont need.  also is there a boolean to loop through a playlist?
also could a shuffle boolean be added, i dont want to just randomize the playlist, i want to make it randomly play tracks in the playlist.  trying to save the playlists as they were added.

ps i bet you cant guess what im trying to make

sub im writing a "my music" plugin, and i was wondering if you could implement these methods in the next release
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">playlisttrack(int) plays a the nth song in the playlist and continues from there
numberoftracks() returns how many tracks are in the playlist
loopplaylist() a boolean to loop thru the playlist or not
getcurrenttracknumber() gets the current playing track number in the playlist
[/QUOTE]
i can shuffle it myself, so thats no really bigger, but those methods would really help me out.
cheers

Remind me in about two weeks. I'm focusing on other stuff at the moment.

I've managed to get GraphEdit to save TV output to a mpeg file using the GB-PVR Writer, and then at the same time play the file using the GB-PVR File Source. Problem is the mpeg encoder I'm using is the evaluation moonlight one, and their mpeg muxer is broken (have to add second pin manually using properties dialog).

So basically all is proven, i can capture at ~700x500 at 70% cpu, the writer works, the reader works, but everything was done manually. Is there any chance that the GB-PVR writer will take div3, div4, divx, or xvid input? (not sure how i'd multiplex it anyways).

Status update: I have managed to get the moonlight mux to add another pin using moonlight's custom config interface. This means that it's full st&reg;eam ahead to get the proof-of-concept recording module working. (just some finishing touches around the file writer, i have to join it and set the filename, i don't forsee any problems here).

I'll post the full code up here once it's complete, hopefully it shouldn't be too hard to incorporate it into the next version of GB-PVR (fully supporting the recorder plugin interface, right? *grin*)

ok sub i dont know when you're coming back, but just to remind you can you add these methods in the next release. (2 weeks is up )
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">pause = pause music playback
playtracknumber(int n) = play the nth track in the current playlist
loopplaylist = a bool property which you can set so gbpvr will automatically loop the playlist once reaches the end
ispaused = a bool to indicate whether or not music playback is paused.
nextTrack = next audio track in the current playlist
prevTrack = previous audio track
[/QUOTE]
the last two can be down via playtracknumber(), but might be a good idea just to put those two in aswell. i want the pause, next,prev so i can add a control bar to the app, so touchscreen users/mouse users can click the buttons and control music playback (tried sending the appropriate keystrokes to keypress, but i had no joy with that). also the ispaused() will allow me to indicate (by changing an image) to the user that the music is paused.

cheers,
reven.

so sub u think these are doable?
