What means MAFW-plugin support in PR1.2?
 

One of the new features in PR1.2 is MAFW-plugin support and I would like to know what it is and what we can expect from it.
Are there already plugins ready for the media player or do they have to be built for it?
Is it possible to create a plugin for gapless playback, equalizer etc.?
Is anyone working on something like that already?
Thanks

From what I understand, Media player UI allow you to use additional MAFW source plugins (eg.: youtube browser plugin if someone write it :) )

So it is only for additional sources like YouTube, Samba etc.?

Can someone help, after updating the firmware I cannot reinstall mafw equalizer. gives incompatible application package message.?

Someone created some plugins for the Media Player through this method:

I had to " apt-get install libgrilo-0.1 grilo-0.1-plugins mafw-grilo-source " with -devel enabled to get them installed.

Very nice. Who's the coder? Something could be improved, like remembering the position in filesystem or searching youtube

Re: What means MAFW-plugin support in PR1.2?
 

It's from the guys who already did MAFW.
Probably the result from this blog post :-)

Re: What means MAFW-plugin support in PR1.2?
 

Coder is me :) . Remembering the position could be done as Grilo has support for it, so I have to figure out how to do it.

About searching on Youtube. Unfortunately, it cannot be done as you would like. I wrote the MAFW plugin, but I don't have access to the interface, so I cannot add any search button. Other funny thing is that MAFW has only support for browsing and metadata, not for search, but this could be sorted out by implementing the search as a browse, but it is not natural. So the real problem here is the interface, which is closed.

BTW, I was trying to submit a new version yesterday to try to get it on app manager, but the builder was broken. I hope it works today.

So how would the YouTube plugin work?

Re: What means MAFW-plugin support in PR1.2?
 

With browsing.

Re: What means MAFW-plugin support in PR1.2?
 

You would be able to browse youtube with the media player or you could open youtube videos from the browser with the media player?

Re: What means MAFW-plugin support in PR1.2?
 

You would be able to watch and browse videos with the mediaplayer

Re: What means MAFW-plugin support in PR1.2?
 

Oh ok. Makes sense

Re: What means MAFW-plugin support in PR1.2?
 

I wrote another blog post about this and why I unfortunately won't be able of implementing the browse and remembering the position.

Hi
When can we expect a first release in extras?

thanks

Re: What means MAFW-plugin support in PR1.2?
 

would this bring an eq for the default media player?

Did anyone else lose ability to list shoutcast stations with this plugin?
