How to play a local video (on PC's HD) through the IRT Middleware for iTV ?
I want to play a local video stored in my PC through the IRT environment. Most of the examples i found about the subject concern the play of broadcasted video through the dedicated JMF Player associated to the service (ServiceContext). I try to use the same mechanism to play my video by applying the setDataSource() method to the default Player but it doesn't work ...
If you have a sample of code it would be very nice
thanks in advance

This quote from IRT manual is not exactly what you are looking for but maybe it can be useful:
To play a transport stream from a file (HDD TS Playback) you need to add your transport stream file path by
hand to the 揕ocalTransponders.cfg?or by using the navigator menu setup ?local transponders. After
adding the transport stream you need to scan it. This scan can be performed in the menu setup ?service
scan ?scan local.
I'm using IRT MHP 1.0.3 reference implementation, and in this RI you need to edit 3 files to play a transport stream file in the HD.
1. Transponders.xml
please put a line:
<!--satellite frequency="1" orbposition="192" eastwest="E" polarisation="H" symbolrate="27500000" onid="1" tsid="437" nid="1"/-->
where frequency must be 1~100, and you also need a TS analyzer to find the correct onid, tsid, nid of the transport stream.
2. LocalTransponders.cfg
According to the frequency you put in Transponders.xml, add one line as follows:
(frequency) = " (absolute path of the transport stream file in your HD) "
3. navigator.prop
you can put as follows:
transponder0 = MyTransponder
transponder0id = dvb://onid.tsid
Thus you can tune to the local transport stream by selecting "MyTransponder" listed in the "Transponders" column. The RI will then parse the SI and list all services carried by the transport stream.
or you can select a service directly by putting as follows:
service0= MyService
service0id = dvb://onid.tsid.sid
Thus the service will be listed in the "Services" column.
I didn't try the scan functionality as MarcoFra describes, maybe it's a feature of later RI.
I hope this works :)
