# If you run into problems with this script, please send me email
# PURPOSE:
# --------------------------
# This is a wrapper script that tries to find the best parameters
# for calling an underlying video player. The outer layer determines
# the best playback parameters, while the inner layer picks the best
# player to call.
# RATIONALE:
# --------------------------
# Default video playback options are not optimal on all hardware or
# for all video types. In addition, common video players do not
# offer to bookmark video so that you can resume where you left off.
# Both of these problems can be addressed by this wrapper.
# PARAMETERS:
# --------------------------
# The same parameters you'd use for mplayer, some of which may be
# translated automatically for use with smplayer.
# FILES:
# --------------------------
# $mediafile, the file to play

my $mediafile = @ARGV[$#ARGV];

&dynamic_parameters($mediafile));
&player($player,$player_parameters,$mediafile);
}
&run();
# Translates any parameters into ones that will be compatible with the given player.
sub translate_parameters() {
my($player,@parameters)=@_;
if ($player eq "smplayer") {
# Stupidly, smplayer uses a different set of command-line parameters than generic
# mplayer, so we need to translate mplayer-centric ones into the few that are
# available in smplayer-ese.
my %smplayer_parameter_translation_array = (
"-fs" => "-fullscreen",
"-zoom" => " "
);
sub translate() {
my($flag)=@_;
return $smplayer_parameter_translation_array{$flag};
}
return map(&translate($_), @parameters);
} else {
# currently, all other players used by this wrapper work with mplayer parameters
return @parameters;
}
}
# Returns an array of dynamic parameters based on the media type,
# the presence of special playback decoding hardware, and the
# general capability of the CPU.
sub dynamic_parameters () {
my($mediafile)=@_;
return(); # ??? empty for now; further development required
}
# Find the best player for use on this system. The script prefers smplayer,
# which has built-in bookmarking, falling back to mplayer-resumer.pl, which
# implements bookmarking as an mplayer wrapper, if smplayer cannot be found.
# Finally, if no bookmarking players can be found, a barebones mplayer is used.
