hi
we're on the way of building a streamdev vdr client for xbmc. ( http://www.cadsoft.de/vdr )
the vdr server wills tream dvb tv to xbmc.
for the moment everything works fine with http streaming. but to allow fast zap we can't buffer data like that.
so the other way is to use vtp protocol ( the embedded streamdev server protocol ).
this protocol oblige the client to open a port, and the server send the mpeg2 data trought this port. our problem is hooking those data to mplayer.
i'm wondering if it's possible to use pipe with xbmc like with linux.
what we want to do is pipe the data from the port to a fifo,
then call mplayer like when we want him on linux to read fifo :
anyone can tell us if it's time to stop wasting time on this as it's not possible or if we're on the good way ?
thanks a lot
