[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] GNOME-VFS layer

[Dave Lambley]

Hi,

This is a patch that lets GNOME users access files through their VFS
layer. You can now do things like,

	mplayer gnomevfs://ssh://10.0.2.5/home/davel/Happy\ Rollers\ -\ 95\ Style.ogg

and if you've already logged in,

	mplayer gnomevfs://http://my.web.dav.server/music.mp3

and probably

	mplayer gnomevfs://nfs://10.0.2.5/home/davel/Happy\ Rollers\ -\ 95\ Style.ogg
	mplayer gnomevfs://smb://smbhost/smbshare/music.mp3

but I don't have the modules installed on my machine to do that yet. You
do need to have ssh-keys set up, as GNOME-VFS doesn't seem to have any
support for doing the authentication itself.

Seeking can be nasty. Although GNOME-VFS does provide functions to do
seeking, it doesn't work for the ssh:// protocol. I've written an
unpleasant work around that involves dumping data and re-opening the
file when necessary.

Is there any way to pass on this "you can seek but you're going to
regret it" condition? Also, is there some way I can usefully pass on the
MIME type to the demuxer?

Cheers,
Dave
