Llink
llink
llink is a media streamer using the HTTP protocol and should work with most Syabas middleware hardware (NetworkMediaTank; Popcorn Hour A-100, HDX900, DuneHD, ISTAR mini, Egreat EG-M31A), and possibly others (LinkTheater).
- Parses vob, avi, ts, mkv, tp, mov, m2ts, evo.
- SSDP / UPnP discovery support (although minimal).
- Skin support: make your own HTML templates or choose from pre-built.
- Simple iMDb querying to look up media information for Jukebox skins.
- Both HD and SD skins.
- Light, tiny and clean code for Unix, OsX and Windows.
- (external process support, like mencoder : incomplete).
- Can play straight from RAR files, no more need to unrar your media. Comes with special unrar-3.7.8-seek.
- Paginating. Support to send listings in pages, with tags for next/prev.
- PlayAll cgi tag, and PlayAllFrom.
- External subtitles. Subtitle files can be consolidated in one directory.
- libdvdread support (and libdvdcss) to play .iso and .img files (and from devices like a DVD drive)
- Play movies, view images or play music.

TODO
Browse history, when using parent button, remember where we were. h=34,12,2 needed in url- I would like one button (say Info on remote) to open a new page/menu with detail info, goto bookmark,delete etc?
- Add a Sort-by button for changing sort type. Name, date, size, reverses.
Add goto percentage bookmark which may be what wizd usesAppears to only work for MPEG.- Add a transparent FTP fs layer? this would be well nice if it worked with rar.
- Pagination has no number-of-files, so wont stop next page, when there is none. Add &max= tag
- Convert other playlist (.m3u .pls) formats to Syabas playlist
- LOW: Scraping/parsing of .NFO files (for media info)
- MEDIUM: mms:// support (libmms looks ok, but has own select() call, needs deeper inspection)
- LOW: Configuration via web (for all those newbies that don't feel comfortable with entering this in the .conf files)
- http://www.subtitlesource.org/title/tt0325710/ Look for subtitles
- Add "also dirlist" queue list, for playlist generation, when finding *.rar (also call unrar) and recursive playlists (also traverse these directories)
- Proposed menus
- Avalaunch style backgrounds. (fetch [1] every 30s and refresh) for mp3/playlists
- Already watched DB. Stage 1: in memory, Stage 2: bdb on disk. How do we visually represent it?
- Playing mp3s, and photos from RAR files don't appear to work
- Send index.html if there is one, without media scanning.
- Add to check for subs in direct containing rared files.
- When playing music, allow to specify pictures to view.
- clearing PIN does not work

KNOWN ISSUES
From v2.0.3 the character combinations "&d=" or "&f=" will pass on to unrar and cause problems when trying to play, but ampersands and equal signs can be used in file and directory names. In previous versions you will not be able to play movies with the ampersand (&) or the equals sign (=) characters in the directory- or file name. Note: If no RAR support is needed, it's possible to make a workaround for it.
