Hi,
I´m new here and also in VLC so I beg your pardon if my question is a bit too
obvious.
In my university we have a few nice theoretical algorithms for video
scheduling under limitted resources circumstances and recently we decided
that we would like to implement some of them on a real media player. We
thought that VLC would be perfect for that an thus I´m trying to see where to
"put" our code.
What we want is to control the way in which the (video)frames are sent (when
broadcasting) through the network so, basically, after the frame being
encoded and prepared to be sent I want to add some code to manipulate those
packets (basically I would like to "drop" some of them under certain
circumstances).
So, first question is where should I start looking to place this code:
src/stream_output.c or maybe modules/stream_out/*? Is there any chance to
write something like a plug-in to process the stream before sending it?... As
you can see I'm a bit lost into the code and I don't have a clear "image" of
what happens where, and when... I haven't found clear information on the
documentation (there is some in "VLC mp API doc", but is not so deep
actually).
Well, basically any help addressing to a starting point will be very
appreciated, or if there is any more extensive source of documentation that
I'm missing too (I only know the files in videolan.org/developers).
Thanks in advanced,
