Hi all,
I'm working on an input plugin for XMMS2 to allow playback of AdPlug
supported files, and it's pretty much working except for one thing.
AdPlug supports a whole bunch of different files, and for a lot of them
it uses the file extension to figure out which format a song is. This
means I need to pass it a filename, even though it never tries to open
that file.
However I can't see how to retrieve the filename of the file I'm trying
to play. I thought getting the URL from the medialib might yield a
file:// URL for local files (which would be fine, all AdPlug needs is
the extension) but it seems the URL field is blank for local files.
Is there any other way I can get hold of the filename? The only other
workaround I can think of is to get the MIME type and create a dummy
filename with the appropriate extension.
I'm sure you already have solved this. I just wanted to make sure this
is in the mail archive.
You shouldn't have to care about filenames at all. I really urge you to
use separate mimetypes instead.
src/plugins/gme/gme_xform.cpp does this.
xmms_xform_plugin_indata_add (xf, MIMETYPE, "audio/whatever1", NULL);
xmms_magic_add("foo", "audio/whatever1", ....);
xmms_magic_extension_add("audio/whatever1", ".whatever");
xmms_xform_plugin_indata_add (xf, MIMETYPE, "audio/whatever2", NULL);
xmms_magic_add("foo", "audio/whatever2", ....);
xmms_magic_extension_add("audio/whatever2", ".whatever");
and then you can use:
xmms_stream_type_get_str (xform, XMMS_STREAM_TYPE_MIMETYPE);
to get the mimetype.
