I'll jump in and mention a solution to an at least similar problem I hacked,
albeit incompletely, some time ago. I baldly stole code from
"dired-mplayer" at http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/EMMS#toc10 , and
have been using the result, "dired-vlc" ever since. The main point of this
was to play videos asynchronously, so I could continue editing, taking notes
using the relative timer of org-mode.
Two more things would make this process work better, at least for me:
1. write a few lines into this that would open another buffer, possibly
through capture, starting the relative timer automagically.
2. figure out how to pause the video and the timer simultaneously.
Here is the code to dired-vlc. I am not interested in making this work for
windows, have no idea whether it would, or how to make it do so.
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
;; -*- mode: elisp -*-
;; Time-stamp: <2009-01-13 14:27:47 orm>
;; AED 05 January 2009
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
(require 'org)
(defvar dired-vlc-program "/usr/bin/vlc")
(defun dired-vlc (&optional timer)
"Asynchronously start vlc on file through dired. If an optional
argument is given (C-u), the org relative timer is started. This
function purports to start vlc in rc mode, to leave open the
possibility of remote control."
(interactive "P")
(let ((file (expand-file-name (dired-get-filename)))
ext files basename dir curr-file ;idx-file sub-file srt-file
command options)
(setq basename (file-name-nondirectory
(file-name-sans-extension file)))
(setq dir (file-name-directory file))
(setq files (directory-files dir t basename))
(delete file files)
(setq command (format "\"%s\" \"%s" dired-vlc-program "--intf rc"))
(if (y-or-n-p (format "Run command %s?" command))
(start-process "junk" nil dired-vlc-program file)))
(if (equal timer '(4)) (org-timer-start))
)
;; end dired-vlc.el
#+END_EXAMPLE
I am interested in what you are doing, also, and I will try it out in a
month or two, after I retire and relocate.
