Right
The problem is that that I have no acces to e-mails durin the day nor to IRC but effectively it looks like the only option.

Thanks anyway

:-/ I'm not asking you to correct my bugs or whatever, I just would like some infos about what the access_demux plugin should do. Currently I'm doing the following: 1) check the size of my frame 2) ask VLC for a new block with that size and checking the return p_block = block_New( p_demux, i_size ) ...

Hi there i'm currently trying to build an access_demux module for a hardware MJPEG2000 card (no v4l). For now, i'm just trying to read some data from the kernel-mode driver. So basically: 1) ask the driver what the size of the frame will be (ioctl() ) 2) ask VLC to give me an empty packet 3) copy th...

sorry i should get a brain and wait a lot more before asking here.
or it's just the good old murphy law
anyway, solved, sorry

In the muxer, we have: /* XXX dirty dirty but somebody want that: * using crapy MS-codec XXX */ /* I didn't want to do that :P */ case VLC_FOURCC( 'H', '2', '6', '3' ): case VLC_FOURCC( 'I', '2', '6', '3' ): case VLC_FOURCC( 'W', 'M', 'V', '3' ): case VLC_FOURCC( 'W', 'M', 'V', '2' ): case VLC_FOURC...

Hi, I'm curious to understand how VLC really manages the private stream. In the code (ts.c) we have: switch( i_stream_type ) { case 0x01: /* MPEG-1 video */ case 0x02: /* MPEG-2 video */ case 0x80: /* MPEG-2 MOTO video */ es_format_Init( fmt, VIDEO_ES, VLC_FOURCC( 'm', 'p', 'g', 'v' ) ); break; case...

/!\ IANAL /!\
IMHO don't bother, you have a website whose purpose is to communicate with anglophones, nobody in the world would be mad enough to sue you.

Hi, just a small trouble building vlc statically with a new module. I have coded a now module, added the .c to Modules.a and successfully built the .a using the bootstrap-generated Makefile. good. Since i'm working on an embedded platform i have to use static builds (the dynamic one just don't work,...

:'-(
Can't you at least point me the right source files ?
I'm more or less browsing through src/ without any result :-/

In case in is not clear: There is a FIFO between the demuxer and the decoder. This FIFO contains block_t structures. I don't know its length or anything. I just know the source of the packets is the demux module and the destination is the decoder module. Question: who calls demux() for tht purpose a...

Hi, just a question about the way VLC manages time and framerate. Recently, i wrote a decoder plugin (well, not sure yet it works really but the idea was there) and i supposed the decoder was called every time a frame/block had to be decoded, this seemed logical. So i didn't bother about managing ti...

thank you

I'm building a new decoder module and i have problem when it comes to shutdown. For an unknown reason it looks like my decoder won't stop and prevents playlist from closing. The CloseDecoder function is never called. Worse: the decoder seems to be active and working since the CPU usage is far from z...

So just to be sure there is no misunderstanding, using the dts given by tha avi demuxer as the pts for the frame is correct right ? As long as don't have stuff like b-frames. if not, what codec code should i look at ? Sorry if i'm asking a lot but i have a LOT of trouble doing this work and i would ...

All right, this looks like a simple solution, i like it
Thanx

OK, this is logical for instance in the case of the B-Frames in MPEG4 Now, in my particular case, i just would like to show the picture in the order they are in the stream, one picture every 1/25 s (if i understood things correctly, the avi demux gives a picture per packet so i need to display one p...

and it looks like the i_pts of my packets is 0
is it normal ? (i did a printf with %d for the i_pts)

Hi, after my topic about the return of the decoder, i have a problem with the PTS. I have trouble in understanding the exact meaning of the time management system in VLC. I don't know what exactly i should do to have my frames diplayed one avec after each other. tarkin.c just does: p_pic->date = mda...

Thanks, it worked
but i wonder where i was supposed to find this info :-/
btw after i read your answer i found this: http://www.firstmiletv.nl/vlc/developers/howto.txt no real idea where it comes from but it may be useful to anyone looking for info about VLC hacking on Windows

Hi, i'm currently working on a module for VLC (for MJPEG2000), but i have some difficulties using a debugger i thought the gdb from mingw would be the best solution but when i try lo load VLC unsing it it stops after loading 4 MB of memory :/ I never see the GUI and it never loads a file, although t...

Thanks
in fact what i found very strange was the type
in fact some athoer decoders (like tarkin if i remember correctly) also use void * type althoug they really return picture_t *
anyway i got it

Hi there, new question in the dummy/decoder.c we have static void *DecodeBlock( decoder_t *p_dec, block_t **pp_block ) and every times it returns NULL I juste can't see why this is a pointer: the returned value is a pointer on a void ? Well OK i'm not so idiot, it seem to have sth to do with the /* ...

Hi there I'm currently writing (well... trying to write) an MPEG2000 decoder and packetizer based on JasPer for VLC (as part of an internship) witch should be released under the GPL when ready so it can be included in the main program if good enough. Right now, my trouble is about the mechanism of V...
