[Release] Simple downloader

TobiasTheCommie · 2011-12-08 21:28

This is version 0.9.1 of a simple downloader for XBMC.

This service will go to Final 1.0, with YouTube 3.0.

This addon provides a simple http/rtmp downloader.

A single queue is used across all plugins.

The rtmp downloader uses the rtmpdump binary, and thus only streams supported by the installed rtmpdump will work.

We have endeavoured to make the downloader as unintrusive for the user as possible, it is thus very simple.

Implementation details can be found on the wiki.

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Add...mc_plugins

This is a dependency used by our other plugins, and we perform constant integration and unittesting during development

Questions, requests, suggestions are welcome.

Note: Before the 1.0 final we do not promise the interface will stay locked.
After the 1.0 version there will be "DeprecatedFunction" warnings on changes for a limited time.

Excellent!

Would you mind adding all possible params to the wiki? I Was thinking about how to set the "live" parameter.
The rtmpdump binary have to be manually downloaded or?

Sure, this is still a WIP, so we're bound to miss something.

As for the rtmp binary, we can't bundle it with the plugin, so it looks for the systemwide binary.

On linux it should Just Work™.

Sadly there isn't currently a better way to do it.

ETA: Updated the wiki with live RTMP stream examples.

Thanks for the information. Would it be possible to extend the api with a Boolean to know whether rtmpdump is supported or not?
This addon + svtplay = true IMHO

That is doable.

Might even help me solve another problem i'm having. Smile
