Does MP2 make use of Basic overview of the XBMC source code - XBMC

like xmbc does?


Virtual file system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


I was amazed how efficient and smoothly this worked. We were discussing xmbc ability to play stored rar files, image files ie. without any problems out of the box.

Some said they saw reference for in it code... but ..

AW: The_Virtual_File-System?

All resource access code in MediaPortal 2 goes over our own virtual filesystem interface which also can be implemented for several kinds of resources like zip, rar, iso ftp etc. (currently, we have only implemented local HDD access).
But we have a second layer over the virtual filesystem which makes our resource access very transparent to the caller. For example, a plugin can browse directories on arbitrary (also remote-) computers of an MP2 system. When it wants to open a resource, it simply calls an open method and gets a resource stream. That works the same for local and for remote resources. Using those two techniques together, a client simply can browse a zip filesystem on the MP2 server, for example.
