Description
The modules of 'demux' capability are designed to handle the different "file" formats. They usually come after the access in the modules chain.
Examples of demuxers are WMV/ASF, Ogg or Mkv.
Write an demuxer module
To write an demuxer module, read the introduction to module writing.
Then, you should specify your module of being of demux type:
set_capability( "demux", 60 ) set_category( CAT_INPUT ) set_subcategory( SUBCAT_INPUT_DEMUX )
Functions to implement
After implementing Open() and Close() functions, you will need to implement a few majors features that will be implemented by your functions.
As you can see include/vlc_demux.h, you should define:
- Seek, as in pf_seek
- Control, as in pf_control
- Read or Block, depending on your module type
After implementing those functions, you should assign them to the corresponding pf_ function.
