Hi,
I have written a simple Swing-based JVLC client with the latest 0.9.0-test3 jar library and I have experienced some problems with the Swing integration and the playlist management. I use Ubuntu Linux 8.04 and JDK/JRE 1.6 update 7.
First, the only way I can have a visible integrated JVLC canvas is adding it directly to the JFrame container, having this a border layout and adding the canvas with the center position, while adding button and other panels in north and south positions. I can't use vertical/horizontal box or flow layouts because when launching the application I get a "Content must be displayable" error immediately (even using a flow layout and only adding the canvas). Is there any solution to this issue? Why can't I treat the JVLC canvas as any other Swing component?
On the other side, I have tried to use MediaList and MediaListPlayer classes from the new 0.9.0 JVLC API instead the deprecated Playlist one, but I have got no success. My simple application just adds video files to a list (add button) and allows playing and other simple actions (play, stop, next, mute... buttons). With the deprecated Playlist class I can add and play different video files with no problem, but when I create a MediaList with the new API and add some video files, using the play() and next() methods from the MediaListPlayer class I get an error and the program stops running.
This is the code of my simple application:

In addition, it seems that there is no implemented method in MediaListPlayer to play the previous item in the playlist as it exists in the deprecated Playlist class. Will it eventually be implemented?
And last but not least, how can I set the full screen mode to a playing media from a MediaList? The Video class has setFullscreen(MediaPlayer, boolean) and toggleFullscreen(MediaPlayer) methods to do that, but they need a MediaPlayer instance, which is only created for a specific file and not for a MediaList, which needs a MediaListPlayer instead a MediaPlayer, so... what should I do to toggle the fullscreen option?
Hope somebody can help me with these issues. Your help is much appreciated.
Thank you,
Javi
