bingo. ive got all the settings finished now and now im working on this exactly. my plan so far is to have the plugin run, when it runs it:
1) opens the skin.xml
2) runs eac3to and spits the output out either directly into my plugin where it is parsed into strings for MP to make labels from OR spits the output into a text file where my plugin can read it and parse those lines into strings.

all the user needs to do is chose a playlist, it reloads the eac3to output, and then choose a movie audio and video. and name it of course. im gettin close! i wish i didnt have to do this myself, im one of the most inefficient coders ever.. hopefully expect some sort of release within a week :)


EDIT:

I am fairly sure last time I looked you it did not send the output to STDOUT

^^^Still true. Just tried it. Is there any known way of capturing the console output and processing it line by line?

HOWEVER, this (lines 89-106ish) has the exact code for what i'm trying to do which indicates that eac3to does make some sort of standard output! the only thing I've gotten it so spit out looks like a bunch of weird characters

EDIT2: looking at later versions of the code, the stanardoutput is commented out. nvm.



now im at a halt until that output can be parsed into the plugin........ open to suggestions :/

update: got it figured out.

last major problems:


1) i cant figure out how to open up the VirtualKeyboard dialog box. I want it to open on a button push and accept my input and set it as a string value. any help would be much apprecaited. i know it has to do with this page but i dont konw where to go next....

2) i use a button to set the #property of something or to set a string value = to something. HOWEVER, i cant reference that string/property outside of that button code. if have one button that sets a string value, how can i use that string value in another button?




thanks! then i'll be done and release the first alpha version of the plugin.

bahahaha...

after several days and unnecessary hours working on this i have what i believe is a working first version. things still to do:

1) progress bars (for ripping and encoding)
^^^^this is the biggie
2) make the eac3to output look cleaner
3) make one version that works for all installations (mine assumes youve installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\ Team.... etc
4) make the skin file look nicer (button layout is awkward)
5) integrate some code that allows an infinite amount of movie rip & encoding slots (right now it's at 5)
6) option to watch some of ripped movie, decide if it ripped okay, and then delete the source files used to create it.

im sure this list will get longer as i fix these things, but until then im happy to have a sloppy, but function first version. release will come after thursday bc i have a big cell bio test then that i should probably be studying for. talk to you guys then.
