[Gtk-sharp-list] MPlayer Slave Mode in GTK#

[Finalspace]

Hi,

i am trying to create an MPlayer Frontend, which was working fine in VStudio
2010 (C#) but with GTK# it does not. I am rewriting the application i was
working now in Mono.

There are several issues am facing:

- First: Passing the window handle from a GTK# window as -slave parameter
does simply not work. With Windows Forms it worked, maybe i am missing
something?

Here are the simple code:



- Second: Is a bit compilicated

When you say VisualStudio, I guess you mean "Windows.Forms" or WPF?

As you seem to already have resolved the issue, may I ask a more general
question? Are you sure you want to start working on such an endeavor? I
mean, there is already a pretty good and existing GTK# mediaplayer
frontend out there: Banshee. You could just create an MPlayer backend
along with the GStreamer one, for your specific needs?

Maybe this is not the right forum to discuss this anyway :)

Normally i use XBMC media center, but XBMC is really slow and in the current
state really buggy.

But the main reason to write a frontend myself is, the media content i have
is too specific and there are no good addons for the existing frontends.

I tried writing an addon for xbmc, but this was a pain in the ass and in the
end i decided to write a frontend myself.

Its not really that hard to write a frontend for mplayer with C#, i have
done it already and currently making a simple user interface for that which
handles my specific media content.

Also i checked existing banshee extensions and there was no ones which suit
my needs.
