OK, I managed to get a plugin working for streaming FLV video.

I'm just using: xbmc.Player(xbmc.PLAYER_CORE_DVDPLAYER).play(url)

My streamer at the other end supports seeking via http, is there any
way to have the player update the url with the time offset if somebody
uses the seek controls?

Is there anyway to redefine what the controls do? For example, have
the fast forward button add 60 seconds to the current stream position
and reload the url.

Thanks for any info.

Hello,

I'm just using: xbmc.Player(xbmc.PLAYER_CORE_DVDPLAYER).play(url)

I read, that this will be deprecated soon. Could anybody confirm that?

This seeking thing is not possible, iMHO

thx Nordish

I've since replaced it with setResolvedURL. Everything seems to
work nicely. I can't seem to get the cast to show up in the infolabels,
is there some special format to the string?

I've never written anything in python before so there was some
learning curve involved. But once I dug in it took less than 3 days.
The whole indentation thing to determine code blocks drives me a
bit batty and makes for some fugly code at times.

Let me ask, is a compiled version a better way to distribute the plugin,
or leave it as source?

[NordishByNature]

Since no bytecode is allowed in official xbmc repo yet, sourcecode would be the better. Also there a licence problems with bytecode.

We are OpenSource here!

[AVP777]

I'm good with source, just didn't know if byte code would be more efficient or not.

If can figure out the infolabels and how to package it properly for install, I'll be set.
