[Q] "Stream" button

[nodiscc]

Hi, how easy/hard is it to add a Stream button to GUI that passes the video/audio URL to a media player?

I use youtube-dl --get-url http://youtube.com/example | xargs mplayer or vlc in the shell, I imagine this is easy to add with a subprocess call. The part I don't get is how to add a new button that calls this on the first playlist item.

@MrS0m30n3 can you point me to the right part of the code? Thanks
Very nice tool

If i understand you need a way to stream the URL into VLC for example without downloading the video right? I don't really know if i want to implement this feature. Anyway, if you want to take the first item from the URL list you need something like this on Mainframe.py:

def get_first_item(self):
        return self.url_list.GetValue().split('\n')[0]

But right now i am trying to refactor the code so there is gonna be lot of changes after the refactoring.

Good @MrS0m30n3 I'll have a look at this once you push the refactored code (else I'll have to to it twice...). Thanks for your help.

[MrS0m30n3]

I will probably push the refactored code in 2-3 weeks (don't take my word :P). Then you can make a pull request and we can discuss it there. I will leave this issue open.

I can stream media from youtube-dl supported sites without problem thanks to mpv, a really clean media player which has youtube-dl integration. Closing.
