vdr-live: replace VLC NPAPI support with ability to play stream by external media player #206

Closed tmn505 closed 5 years ago

Hi This adds pink play button (beside the yellow one), which serves playlist with stream link, playable by majority of media players. Should work with every browser allowing to open files instead of only downloading them. I've sent this extension to upstream repo https://projects.vdr-developer.org/issues/2573, but I don't know if or when current maintainer will commit it, but I still think it's useful change, since most browsers don't support NPAPI plugins any more.

Nice idea. I would recommend that you create a second patch in the same upstream issue which completely removes the old code. NPAPI is dead!

Done, I also adapted the PR to replace VLC NPAPI support with ability to play stream by external media player, now it is under old yellow stream button instead of pink one and pink play button is removed.

Thank you very much! I'll merge this at Thursday or Friday as I'm not at home currently and if I merge from here, I'll most probably miss to sync your change to AUR.

Np, thanks for the feedback on the upstream ticket.
