- Instructions to code your own VLC Lua playlist script.
- $Id$
-
- See lua/README.txt for generic documentation about Lua usage in VLC.
-
- Examples: See dailymotion.lua, googlevideo.lua, metacafe.lua, youbtube.lua
- and youtube_homepage.lua .
-
- VLC Lua playlist modules should define two functions:
- * probe(): returns true if we want to handle the playlist in this script
- * parse(): read the incoming data and return playlist item(s)
- Playlist items use the same format as that expected in the
- playlist.add() function (see general lua/README.txt)
-
- VLC defines a global vlc object with the following members:
- * vlc.path: the URL string (without the leading http:// or file:// element)
- * vlc.access: the access used ("http" for http://, "file" for file://, etc.)
- * vlc.peek( <int> ): return the first <int> characters from the playlist file.
- * vlc.read( <int> ): read <int> characters from the playlist file.
- THIS FUNCTION CANNOT BE USED IN probe().
- * vlc.readline(): return a new line of playlist data on each call.
- THIS FUNCTION CANNOT BE USED IN probe().
-
- Available VLC specific Lua modules: msg and strings. See lua/README.txt.
