The VideoLAN Forums

Is this the wrong forum for this question? Maybe I should post it on the dev side.

Currently I have a remote control app that is using the Remote Control Interface. I use VLC for playing back and RTSP stream and so I launch it with the Minimal Interface flag. I do this to hid the transport controls and menu bars. If the stream stops for some reason ( broken network or stream ) I w...

Yes of course its not... changed the call from libvlc_media_new_path() to libvlc_media_new_location() and it seems to be working. For anyone else who needs to know this here is the doc link: http://www.videolan.org/developers/vlc/doc/doxygen/html/group__libvlc__media.html#gae1d3baee3f4610c6fe5818def...

Trying to get an rtsp:// stream going and it fails every time. Here is the code I have been using. Its pretty simple so maybe I'm missing something. #include "stdafx.h" #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <vlc/vlc.h> int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { libvlc_instance_t * in...

Who needs to fix the LUA script?

this is the error in the log file. main debug: looking for interface module matching "telnet,none": 15 candidates lua debug: Found lua interface script: C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\intf\telnet.luac lua debug: Setting config variable: config={telnet={host='telnet://localhost:4212',pas...

I have been using the telnet interface for years. I just upgraded from 2.0.8 to 2.1.2 and it doesn't. I try to connect on my telnet client and it never comes back or times out. just using all the defaults and launching with vlc.exe filename --one-instance --extraintf telnet tried launching with vlc....

When I try using libvlc_media_new_location(inst, path); i get this in the debugger output: 'LibVlcSB.exe': Loaded 'C:\Windows\System32\profapi.dll' main libvlc debug: opening config file (C:\Users\VLCDev\AppData\Roaming\vlc\vlcrc) main libvlc debug: translation test: code is "C" main libvl...

Im having this same issue. This whole thing is very frustrating because VLC Player is doing it just fine. My Path is this: path => http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XztPtK7yAUk If I use the VLC Player this video opens just great. if I go through LibVLC its not working. Using 2.1.2. Tried these from the...

Not sure if Im missing something here but I cant seem to get back to the DVD Menus once the disc is playing. My app is C++ and I am looking for the api to bring up the DVD Menu. I can navigate the menus using libvlc_media_player_navigate() to do the navigation and start the disc playing. I thought l...

How can I tell. I figured that if I was using the config file that the VLC app is using then it should be the same right?

I have been working on a C++ app on windows for a while now using the libVLC core. I have a lot of it working great but still having a few problems. I seem to be getting a lot of pixel break up when seeking in an MP4 file. When I use the VLC app I don’t see the breakup. I have confirmed that I am us...

Nothing... OK. So besides the vlc full help command for the modals is there any other documentation on the different flags. Looking through the vlc source code it looks like the flag --directx-hw-yuv is handled by modules\video_output\msw\directx.c which is the Direct Draw wrapper which is what the ...

Im wondering if anyone can help me with some settings or validate my current command options. Im trying to reproduce the settings in the vlc app under tools->preferences. Under Display - Accelerated video output (overlay) - checked - Use hardware YUV->RGB conversions - checked - Window Decorations -...

UPDATE: I seem to have fixed it. In another post about VS 2008 compile issues I noticed that they had been adjusting the /OPT linker flag from /OPT:REF to /OPT:NOREF and it seemed to fix a different issue that they were having. Microsoft docs: REF | NOREF /OPT:REF eliminates functions and/or data th...

I’m new to libvlc.dll and libvlccore.dll. I want to use it to write a simple media player so I decided to start by downloading and installing the 2.0 release of VLC. I found the SDK in the install folder and using VS 2008 started a simple console app. To get started as a simple hello world app I use...
