Can anyone help with my current problem. For the mo I'm getting nowhere with this one. Can anyone tell me if there is a way/function to tell me when and if vlc is downloading a stream (loaded using libvlc_media_new_location) to a buffer and not currently playing? The thing is that libvlc_media_playe...

Lol, welcome to Chipmunk...

Thanks to a little help from sherington, I have now resolved the problem that showed the superimposed title of any video and is now hidden.

Thanks sherington, you're totally right. Just realised my error, left 1st parameter of vlc_ist at 0. Kinda normal it didn't work. You know, I spent a good few hours monday trying to figure out what went wrong - when it was staring me in the face all the time. Serve me right, I guess. Anyway, sorry f...

Hello all, Just recently integrated youtube into my project and am quite happy with result, but there is one snag. One it seems I share with a few others. I just can't get rid of the title of the played video (be it youtube or a local file) being shown at the beginning of playback. I would like to h...

Have been working hard this weekend on CM. Have now included youtube. Has to be tried to be believed, type something in the search window of CM, a window will appear on youtube videos available on you tube relating to search criteria. Click on an item in the window's list and chipmunk will the displ...

New version out now, will now automatically download and show lyrics of currently played music. Cd playback (with realtime effects directly available with copying first to hd!!) now integrated too. Just select the drive in the file explorer. Dvd playback works equally, although no mouse for the mome...

New version out, now has icons in file lists (check out image below). Am currently planning to integrate a desktop into chipmunk - will be in a future version...

Okay, am still working on it of course... Have to share this with you, as new features are really cool. As usual, there are still many things I can add but still looking better and better. Chipmunk is able to do a heap of stuff already. Anyway nuff said, the new features are that you can now put a v...

Lots of new stuff, pay attention especially to the playlist window and the lighting effects on windows (can now have a shiny effect). Random playback integrated too and many bug tweaks.

Windowed mode now works correctly in detecting pointer position. F12 to toggle between window/fullscreen mode.

New update out, now has it's own 'start' button (please note the animated 'dust' - nice effect to bring user's attention to button). Also has it's own clock...

Hello Arite, Thankyou very much for your support, I really do appreciate it. I think your problem may come from the webpage you may be still connected to, for I named it 'Chipmunk' like the software. I think that the software had detected that window thinking it was another example of itself - this ...

Okay, new version just out this afternoon, have added flac playback as wanted by Arite. Have activated the webcam window I'm working on too so you can have a look at what CM is capable of. Have fixed some bugs too...

Thanks, it is a fun project as much fun writing as in using (but not the ironing-out-for-bugs part, that takes some time). But I still have much to do, it is not yet ready for release, for it isn't complete and has some strange bugs here and there. Think a release version should be out soonish. I kn...

Hi DaveyDave I can confirm that you can use multiple VLc instances as well a media player instances and so far I have found no bugs concerning that. In my own work-in-progress chipmunk, I can have at least four films running independantly each using a different instance all running at the same time ...

New version out, fixed an error that crashed out CM after loading VLC plugins....

Hello everyone, Please take a minute to check out www.chipmunk-player.com when you can, and feel free to try out an example of the media player I am developing that uses libVlc and other libraries within a 3d interface. It isn't finished but is already looking very good. My aim to to replace wmp wit...
