[MPlayer-users] ASF Streaming

[Curtis Wood]

Is there anything that constitutes the end of the packet, besides the
size from the header; like 0xFF or something? It's been a while since
coding this low in tcpip, but isn't there a way (by setting flags or
something in read or somwhere) to read from the stream and -not- remove
the data from the buffer (sort of a read ahead)? If not I'm assuming
that the read_asf_header just passes back something like and int,
specifying the size of the packet - this will just have to simply be
re-written to pass back a structure or something :-( Another way, which
is a very ugly hack, and will probably slow down the process to much
(but maybe not) would be to set an environment variable in
read_asf_header to the size of the packet and then unset it in
asf_http_streaming_read... Just some ideas/thoughts, haven't looked at
the code...

     Hello,
    
    I hacked a little the libmpdemux to make the asf streaming working. Now it's working
    but it can't work with the cache and I'd like to have your view of the problem.
    The asf_streaming.c : asf_http_streaming_read function must return full asf packet 
    wich are of a constant size. In the stream there are not of a constant size and we must
    pad the missing part with 0. To do this we need to have the asf_packetsize wich 
    is computed in asfheader.c : read_asf_header. But when we use the cache the reading 
    is done in another process and we can't get this fucking packetsize updated to the 
    good value and the streaming simply don't work.
    I hope all this is understable, I will send the patch soon so you can see what is
    going on. But if possible a prefer to first fix this issue with caching.
    
    PS : Sorry for the last time with my sdl fix, I've seen how to send patch after sending
           my mail. Too lazy but it will come with the asf streaming.
