Playlists with audio, video & pictures
« on: January 15, 2008, 04:43:00 pm »
Take a look at this Mantis feature that I have posted today;

http://mantis.linuxmce.org/view.php?id=3819

I think being able to simply create playlists that contain audio, video and pictures would be a very exciting application delivered right in the Orbiter... or at least thats what users are telling us...

What do you think?

You mean like

I would like to see any pictures in the playlist be displayed as any audio is being played, then maybe an option on the video to either play its sound (ie music video) or play a music file (ie music tagged to your kids football game).

Just my 2cents

Yes exactly like that... but I was thinking of a more simple first step... that could be achieved (possibly) with very little new code... but yes I would also like the features you suggested ;-)

How is the playlist data stored? I've done a good bit of work extending the (de facto standard, though undocumented and coexistent with PLS) M3U playlist format. I've figured out how to make it accommodate some nonlinear features, like extending strictly sequenced multimedia (eg. 1. silent photo, then 2. audio track, then 3. audio/video track) into simultaneous multimedia (eg. 1. silent photo + audio track, then 2. audio/video) in the playlist metadata for players that can handle it (including custom players I've made), but which still degrade gracefully into regular sequential "standard" M3U behavior on the existing players.

Playlists are really the playlist itself, the player's support of playback features reflected in the playlist format, and playlist editors. I'm happy to help make LMCE playlists do all that.

I will gather some info on playlist data and how its stored today and post it here or on the Wiki later... great to hear your interested in this :-)
