I don't there is an easy solution. Within LMS there is no way to tell the difference between an remote MP3 stream and a podcast (extension, mime & URL designations - same for both) - so any special processing would have to happen at the Podcast plugin level and would have to create a new type to label podcast URL as a podcast and not just a remote MP3 stream (e.g. change saved URL from http:// to podcast://). MPEG-4 podcast can be distinguished but handling all podcast the same may be easier as there are very few http/MPEG-4 streams (i.e. no duration) as MPEG-4 is normally streamed with HLS or DASH. Once identified, then the simplest way to stream and provide intermediate caching would be to tell LMS to use a "transcoder" - which does nothing to data but buffers data and also facilitates "jump to time". Unfortunately to get metadata from the stream and to enable seeking a time point through a "transcoder" - means some more work in terms of a new Protocol handler - much of which will probably be passed to current LMS processing but still needs intercepting etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110756 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
