Bugzilla – Bug 407
remote streams do not use the convert command logic
Last modified: 2009-09-08 09:16:48 UTC
The convert command logic that's in Source.pm only applies to local content. Seems like we should be able to fairly easily apply it to remote streams. That would let us play ogg and wma content available via HTTP without too much effort.
I think Dan Sully was working on a rewrite of Source.pm that would allow streams to be converted. I'm not sure how much is complete at this time.
Dan, I'm planning on adding this to the 5.3 list. Can I reassign to you?
Yes, that's fine. The new Format code is coming along.
Vidur reworked the source framework to allow for forked command streaming.
