Hi all, I had some problems with the sniffing functions in the media plug-ins. I realise that for streaming to work properly the plug-ins need to be adapted to make do with a BDataIO when the data isn’t seekable, but it’s still a problem when only a small chunk of data is available. Asking each plug-in to sniff the data works on files, where seeking is a simple matter, but for live streams, seeking is tricky. If the file is small, seeking in the saved data can work, but bulkier content, e.g., HD video and DVD data, takes up several gigabytes. In my opinion, it would be much easier to optionally be able to directly ask for a certain plug-in, using the device API (libdvdnav can return accurate format data) or the media MIME type, and avoid the format sniffing. -- Cheers, Christopher
