hallo zusammen!

I want to make use of the video window for a plugin, so I made the following code:

skin = """
	<screen position="10,10" size="650,500" title="videos!">
		<widget name="Video" position="10,10" size="450,400" zPosition="0"/>
		<widget name="Video2" position="260,210" size="250,200" zPosition="0"/>
	</screen>"""

	def __init__(self, session):
		self.skin = pantallaVerde.skin
		Screen.__init__(self,session)


		self["Video"] = VideoWindow(decoder = 0)
		self["Video2"] = VideoWindow(decoder = 1)

This just makes two video windows and I give them as parameter the decoder (0 or 1). Decoder=0 is what I'm currently watching on the TV, and decoder=1 is nothing unless I have previously activated the Picture in Picture, in which case it shows up the "secondary" channel of the PIP.

I'd like to know if there's a way to choose exactly what it's shown on those video windows, I mean choose by PID or maybe take the video stream from my computer via ethernet.

Could anyone help me about it? Is there any plugin code where I can take some information?

Best regards!

I'm doing some zapping by using the following code:

def OK(self):

#    SID:NS:TSID:ONID:STYPE:UNUSED(channelnumber in enigma1)
#    X   X  X	X	D 	D


#    REFTYPE:FLAGS:STYPE:SID:TSID:ONID:NS:PARENT_SID:PARENT_TSID:UNUSED
#   D   	D 	X 	X   X	X	X  X      	X       	X


   	 fav = '1:0:1:214:3F4:22D4:EEEE0000:0:0:0:'


   	 self.session.nav.playService(eServiceReference(fav))

pretty easy, right? It just makes a zapp to the (static) service defined. If I am using two video windows the zapping only happens to the one called with the parameter "decoder=0".

Of course, nothing happens if that service was previosly selected.

I'd like to make a zapping happen in the other video window too.

By the way, the video window with decoder=1 doesn't show anything unless you have previously activated Picture in Picture using the blue button.

I don't find a way of calling a Picture in Picture object... don't know which parameters to be called... any help?

And what do the parameters REFTYPE, FLAGS, ONID, NS, PARENT_SID, PARENT_TSID, mean?

I guess SID must be stream identifier, and TSID transport stream identifier, but I don't know the rest.

You don't know anything about how the Video Window object works?...

Thank you, it has been very helpful! Specially telling me to take a look at InfoBar code.

But I have another question, now I know how to turn a Hexadecimal service chain into a eServiceRefernce like this: esref1 = eServiceReference("1:0:1:138C:32:22D4:EEEE0000:0:0:0:")

But, what if I want to get the currently service and get the original hexadecimal chain?

I do:

newservice = self.session.nav.getCurrentlyPlayingServiceReference()
print "getCurrentlyPlayingServiceReference returns the following: ", newservice

And I get at the Console Terminal:

getCurrentlyPlayingServiceReference returns the following: <enigma.eServiceReference; proxy of <Swig Object of type 'eServiceReference *' at 0x2e561b60> >

It's an object that I can't manipulate... it's not a list or a string...

Any clue?

Danke!

I have found a way to do it... I guess I should have tried this before posting, sorry.

Anyway, just in case anyone else needs to do it is way simple by doing this:

newservice = self.session.nav.getCurrentlyPlayingServiceReference()
newserviceString=newservice.toString()
print "getCurrentlyPlayingServiceReference returns the following: ", newservice,newserviceString

And the printing result is:

Zitat

getCurrentlyPlayingServiceReference returns the following: <enigma.eServiceReference; proxy of <Swig Object of type 'eServiceReference *' at 0x2e564b40> > 1:0:1:138C:32:22D4:EEEE0000:0:0:0:
