[QUOTE="misterd, post: 132177, member: 19503"] Hi, the main problem I recognized when using MPlayer with streams is that you have to specify the cache size. If you don't set a large cache size than you get stuttering, even when you play a stream from a web server on the same pc. As far as I know there are two VLC plugins. The one included in MP, which uses the ActiveX component of VLC. But this ActiveX component doesn't support all features of VLC. The other one is included in the mp-plugins SVN which makes native accesses to VLC. The main advantage of this approach is that you can you use almost every feature of VLC, but it is more complicated. But I think that both plugins don't support all possible features of VLC, so there is still a lot of things to do. This is a good question. Before I can give you an answer, I have to clarify something. The main focus of my devleopment is that you can use MPlayer like the internal players in MP. I started with an external player plugin and than I had to realize that MP doesn't support external player plugins for every media type. The gui plugin I created for My MPlayer is my approach to solve this problem. An other advantage of this approach is that you can use MPlayer in this gui plugin and normally use the internal players. Also this approach isn't limited to this gui plugin, which means that other plugins can do the same "trick", if they wan't. As already mentioned in this thread I don't plan to create a VLC plugin, because I think there are already 2 plugins and we don't need a third one. Also I don't have the time to develop and maintain such an VLC plugin and My MPlayer alone. But if there is enough interest in the community and someone else will help me, I can and will add support for this VLC plugin to my gui plugin. The result will be something like a "My External Player" plugin. I know that you have expected an other answer, but this is the current situation. Regards, MisterD [/QUOTE]
