Unable to launch VLC UI interface via GTK

[pramodkalva]

I want to launch the VLC UI interface from the GTK application using libvlc_add_intf API .

But some how VLC UI Interface does'nt launches from GTK application ,Console logs says Xlib not initialized for threads etc and
then VLC goes to command line mode .

Is their any other away to launch the VLC UI interface from the GTK Application ?

Console Log:

[0x1340598] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to
use vlc without interface.

This process is probably using LibVLC incorrectly.
Pass "--no-xlib" to libvlc_new() to fix this.

Thanks for the link, However, I still fail to understand, Does it mean I cannot launch the QT interface while running my GTK application?

I tried adding the XInitThreads() on the thread as the man page suggested before I begin to call the libvlc_* functions & still see issues, I get a,
"GTK+ 2.x symbols detected, GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3.x in the same process in not supported"
It does seem that XInitThreads() is successful - but the error seems to come when libvlc_add_intf() is called.

Can you please suggest and help me understand this issue?
Thanks,

That other (GTK versions) error is not from within VLC. Maybe a Qt limitation; I don't know.
