Sorry for falling off the boards the last several months. Work has been hectic. Anyway, I finished. Here's the source: https://github.com/Vaselinessa/moviesoap . Just follow the instrucitons in the Readme. (Apply the patch file, then compile.) I also put up a website which contains instructions on h...

Thank you much.

Is there a function I can call in my code to toggle whether hotkeys (all of them) are available/active? Or is it perhaps possible to disable, then re-enable the "Gobal Hotkeys" interface?

Thanks.

I made VLC.app as best I understood your instructions, but the result was the same, no gui: $ make VLC.app make: `VLC.app' is up to date. $ make VLC-dev.app rm -Rf VLC-dev.app cp -R VLC-tmp VLC-dev.app /usr/bin/install -c -m 0755 ./bin/.libs/vlc VLC-dev.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC ln -s -f ../../../modul...

No. I just used the single build.sh script (after exporting Xcode variables and cloning the vlc source), as instructed on (http://wiki.videolan.org/OSXCompile). I don't see any mention of VLC-dep.app on (http://wiki.videolan.org/OSXCompile). Where can I find instructions for making VLC-dep.app? (Tha...

I just compiled VLC 2.1 on Mac OSX Lion, yet when I run it, I get no gui. I installed QT 4.8.4 using brew. Any idea what I should do/failed to do? The following is what I get on the terminal: $ ./vlc VLC media player 2.1.0-git Rincewind (revision 1.3.0-git-5381-gecfe166) [0x10ea0a6e0] main libvlc: R...

Thanks. I suppose my problem was that (it appears to me that) vlc_join cannot run on a vlc_thread_t that either has not yet been initialized with vlc_clone() or has already been joined with vlc_join(). I got around the problem by removing calls to vlc_join and relying on mutex locks to prevent two f...

I've been using the following code to run myfunction() in a different thread. It runs fine on linux, but after cross-compiling, it crashes on windows when it reaches this code. vlc_thread_t mythread; void spawn_myfunction() { vlc_join( mythread, NULL ); vlc_clone( &mythread, myfunction, NULL, VL...

I think I've solved this one. If I run playlist_CurrentInput in another thread, it seems to work fine.

In version 2.1, I am trying to get the current input thread as soon as it is created, but the program freezes when I try. I attached a callback to the playlist's "item-change" event, then call playlist_CurrentInput in the callback. I see that I am wrong, but what am I supposed to do? (In 2...

Thank you for your much help so far. I'm trying to cross compile version 2.0.4 for windows, but when I get to the final step ('make'), I get the error: 'DXVA_NoEncrypt' undeclared. Do you have any idea why that would be (or what I should do about it)? Here's the make output: In file included from .....

I had this problem, and the fix was to run Cygwin's setup.exe file again and use it to install pkg-config (which was skipped by default).

Does anyone have the instructions for cross-compiling version 2.0.4 or 2.0.5? I ask because I finished building an extension on the Qt module, but it won't compile in the latest version (cloned from the repository), and when I follow the latest instructions for cross compiling on (http://wiki.videol...

Ah, you are right that 2.0.5 has the same vlc_threads.h file as 2.0.4. It turns out I was trying to build the latest source from the git repository (git://git.videolan.org/vlc.git). However, this awareness has not helped me to cross compile yet. A file of mine, which I added to the Qt module #includ...

Ah. Then do I need to add dirs to my PATH variable to include subdirs within <vlc root>/contrib/win32? My config log provides the following details (among others): hostname = markham-Latitude-D830 uname -m = i686 uname -r = 3.5.0-17-generic uname -s = Linux uname -v = #28-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 9 19:32:...

I'm following the instructions to cross compile for win32, and when I reach the configure step, I get errors telling me that I lack libraries (libmad) or header files (for libfaad). However, when I look for these files, they appear to be in ordinary places, such as /usr/local/lib and /usr/include. C...

Also, when I try to get the 2.0.4 source from http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/2.0.4/ the server returns a 500 error.

I just tried to compile 2.0.5 with an out-of-tree module which compiled find in 2.0.4, and I got the following error. In file included from ../../../../extras/package/win32/../../../include/vlc_common.h:430:0, from ../../../../extras/package/win32/../../../modules/gui/qt4/../../moviesoap/qt4/../vari...

By the time these positive replies started coming in, I was already well on my way to building my own filtration system with (I think) better features than I have seen elsewhere. In my upcoming system, a user can use VLC to create a filter file (which can be shared with others), manually designating...

Thanks. Do you think the loop would be avoided appropriately if I were to fork the process so that MyRoutine ran in a new thread? (If so, does VLC provide a function for spawning threads which won't require me to concern myself with whether to use posix or win threads? For instance, does vlc_clone(v...

I have a callback which can fire its own trigger under a certain circumstance. When this occurs, the GUI freezes (the video keeps playing, but the controls lock up). Does anybody have an idea how I can obviate the freeze-up? // in my module's Open function: var_AddCallback( p_input, "time"...

I wish to remove a callback function after it runs, if a certain condition is met. However, when I call var_DelCallback from within the callback function, the GUI controls freeze up. How can I accomplish my aim? Details: My routine adds a filter to a filter_chain on a given vout thread, but I know o...

What I have tried latest is attaching a callback to the playlist's "item-change" event, using it to check for a vout, then removing that callback as soon as a vout is available. However, I may have constructed the deletion of the callback incorrectly, but the player stops painting the vide...

Thanks, Remi. If I have interpreted your last instruction correctly, I am to make concern myself with the filter chain pointer on a vout_thread_t: p_vout->p->filter.chain_interactive Therefore, I am looking for a callback that will fire when the current input is ready with a vout_thread_t, but I don...

Thanks, Remi. Can you (or anyone) tell me what the owner (p_this) arg of filter_chain_New should be? (If it can be just any vlc_object_t*, then is there a function which I must call to ensure that my filter chain be applied to the video output stream?) (if the owner must be the output stream itself,...
