<h3 class="section">3.3 GML Syntax</h3>
<p>GMLs (Gmerlin media locations) are pretty much similar to URLs or
MRLs with the difference, that device plugins support passing the device.
This makes it possible to use gmls with hardware setups, which have
multiple devices for each plugin.
<p>A gml can be:
<dl>
<dt>•A regular filename<dd>Optionally preceeded with “file://”. This means, that <b>/files/music.mp3</b> is the same as
<b>file:///files/music.mp3</b>.
<br><dt>•A dash “-” or the string “stdin://” for reading from stdin<br><dt>•Any valid network URL<dd>Examples: <b>http://webstream.example.com:8080</b>, <b>ftp://user:pass@ftp.example.com/music.mp3</b>
<br><dt>•A "hardare protocol" followed by the device like <b>cda:///dev/hdc</b>.<dd>Known hardware protocols are <b>cda</b> (Audio CD), <b>vcd</b>, <b>dvd</b> and
<b>dvb</b>. The supported protocols may vary according to your installation.
