Define Documentation

#define INPUT_PLUGIN_BASE_VERSION   0x1000

The base version number of the scope plugin. Set at 0x1000.

#define INPUT_PLUGIN_VERSION   (INPUT_PLUGIN_BASE_VERSION + 16)

The version of the input plugin API. This should be incremented whenever structural changes are made to the API. This value should only be changed by the maintainers.

#define P_BUFFERING   32

Set minimal buffer

#define P_FILEBASED   8

Set this flag if the stream is file based (local disk file)

#define P_PERFECTSEEK   2

Set this flag if your plugin is able to do sample accurate seeking in the stream. This is required for reverse speed playback.

#define P_REENTRANT   4

Set this flag if your plugin is reentrant.

#define P_SEEK   1

Set this flag if your plugin is able to seek in the stream

#define P_STREAMBASED   16

Set this if the stream is a real stream e.g. HTTP or UDP based

Typedef Documentation

typedef float(* input_can_handle_type)(const char *path)

Parameters:

path	Path to stream

Returns a rating between 0.0 and 1.0 for how well this plugin can handle the given path 1.0 = Excellent 0.0 = Huh?

typedef int(* input_channels_type)(input_object *obj)

Parameters:

obj	input object

Returns number of channels in the stream

typedef void(* input_close_type)(input_object *obj)

Parameters:

obj	input object

Close stream

typedef int input_flags_type

Capability flags for this plugin

typedef int(* input_frame_seek_type)(input_object *obj, int frame)

Parameters:

obj	input object
frame	Seek to a specific frame number

typedef int(* input_frame_size_type)(input_object *obj)

Parameters:

obj	input object

Returns the frame size in bytes

typedef long(* input_frame_to_sec_type)(input_object *obj,int frame)

Parameters:

obj	input object
frame	frame number

Returns the offset from the start time in centiseconds (100th of a second) for the frame given.

typedef int(* input_init_type)(void)

Init plugin

typedef int(* input_nr_frames_type)(input_object *obj)

Parameters:

obj	input object

Returns the total number of frames in the stream

typedef int(* input_nr_tracks_type)(input_object *obj)

Parameters:

obj	input object

Return number of tracks. Optional

typedef struct _input_object input_object

This is a structure that keeps frequently used parameters of an input instance. It also contains a pointer to any local_data that might be allocated by the plugin itself.

typedef int(* input_open_type)(input_object *obj, const char *path)

Parameters:

obj	input object
path	path of stream to open

Open stream

typedef int(* input_play_frame_type)(input_object *obj, char *buffer)

Parameters:

obj	input object
buffer	buffer where we should write the frame to

Play/decode a single frame. This function should write exactly one frame to the buffer. If there is not enough PCM data to fill the frame it should be padded with zeros (silence).

typedef struct _input_plugin input_plugin

typedef void* input_plugin_handle_type

Handle for plugin. Filled in by the host

typedef input_plugin*(* input_plugin_info_type)(void)

Every input plugin should have an input_plugin_info() function that returns a pointer to an input_plugin structure that is set up with pointers to your implementations. If your plugin is compiled using C++ make sure you 'extern "C"' the input_plugin_info() function or else the HOST will not be able to load the plugin.

typedef int(* input_sample_rate_type)(input_object *obj)

Parameters:

obj	input object

Returns the sample rate of the stream

typedef void(* input_shutdown_type)(void)

Prepare the plugin for removal

typedef int(* input_stream_info_type)(input_object *obj, stream_info *info)

Parameters:

obj	input object
info	pointer to stream_info structure

Return stream info of the current stream. You should not allocate space for the stream_info structure. The HOST will take care of that.

typedef int(* input_track_seek_type)(input_object *obj, int track)

typedef int input_version_type

input plugin binary version. Must be set to INPUT_PLUGIN_VERSION

typedef struct _stream_info stream_info

This structure is used to pass information about a stream/song from the plugin to the host.
