Right, I am sick and tired of trying to remeber which episode of a TV show i am currently up to for the various backed up box sets i have on my computer. SO i have decided to write a program that will remeber for me.
The proposed program will consist of an interface that will allow you to choose a TV series based on the directory structure of a media storage folder, let you choose multiple series from one list and place it in a play list for you to watch e.g.
Would let you watch episode x of DS9 followed by episode y of SG1 followed by episode x+1 of DS9 followed by episode y+1 of SG1, then y+2 of SG1.Code:Available: Playlist: Alias Star Trek DS9 Farscape Stargate Star Trek DS9 -> Star Trek DS9 Stargate Stargate Stargate Atlantis Stargate
Now to the question, i want to include the ability to run the videos using DirectShow, does anybody know of a Java API to DirectShow? I would prefer a simple one because i am lazy, a simple play(), stop(), open() style one would be my ideal choice. However if i need to, a full directX API wont duant me.
Also, would DirectShow automatically detect the codec used or would i have to tell it what it is doing?
If noone knows of a DirectShow Java API, the various switches to make Media Player go full screen would be good to know, and how to make my Java program wait for the currently playing file to finish before opening the next one.
Ta.
Features to add welcome as well (if anybody cares)
Edit: Oh, I.M.P.L stands Intelligent Media Play List (if anybody cares)
