What function(s) are availible to change the size/position of the video output window (not attached to hparent)? I want to resize the video output window... currently I am using Windows 2000 and the SetWindowPos is being set in DirectXUpdateRects (directx/events.c) when the plugin receives a WM_WIND...

Currently you can watch TV shows if you have a TV tuner card. The current version(s) of VLC will allow you to display the output from the TV capture card. It does however have some limitations (without the use of some other third part apps to do things like change the channels). What OS are you runn...

Yes, wintvcap was one of the first programs I looked at (about a year ago). Recording and DirectShow Graph control is the easiest part of this whole thing (imho).

Anyone here have any opinions on the retrieval of TV listings. I am currenly getting my TV Listings, locally and reformated, by scraping data from Zap2It (formerly ClickTV). Using an HTTP robot and XML parser to store the data in HSQLDB. This works fine for now, but I don't think this is a long term...

Hi all. My development of a PVR solution using the VLC core is coming along. I am looking for feedback and testers as I move forward. The implementation uses the following technologies: -VLC for basic playback, playlist, streaming and all the other wonderful functions it provides. -Customized file a...

I'm currently working on a Windows PVR implementation. See recent post.

I will look into a file naming scheme as per your suggestion. Currently using Buffer[index].mpg. My question above was based on an attempt to keep the file buffer reading separate from the DirectShow graph control. File_access just thinks its reading from a single file (allowing one to replace the c...

Currently working on a live stream (TV capture) timeshifting implementation. - Built a DirectShow Filter which captures live streams and writes a set of n-minute files (defined minutes per file and defined number of files in a rotating queue). i.e. 24 files each of 5 mins gives 2 hour pause/rewind b...

I created a control module (modules/control/xxxx.c). I added it to the modules.am and compiled it clean. It runs fine. Now I want to access it from modules/control/http.c using the ubiquitous vlc_object_find( p_input, <object type>, <search method>). The <object type> is defined in include/vlc_objec...

I have created a timeshift plugin by combining the Access File plugin and the DShow plugin (actually I wrote my own DirectShow buffering filter). The plugin runs fine rotating through 5 min capture buffer files alllowing me to pause and seek back on a live stream for a vraiable number of minutes. No...

FYI on previous post:

Version being used is 0.7.3 svn vlc-trunk

I tried an MSVC build of plugin_http.dll from the dsp generated by toolbox. Build failed with numerous errors. Added code to http.c as follows: #if (defined( WIN32 )) # include <time.h> # include "dirent.h" # define S_ISDIR(a) (((a) & S_IFMT) == S_IFDIR) #endif Copied a windows port of...

I am in the process of building a java API to VLC. I would like input on the best way to integrate into the system. What I would like in the end is the ability to control the inputs and outputs via high level objects using JNI. I have completed a test with a JNI interface to a dll version of vlc.exe...

I have seen a slow startup time (0.7.2) when the exe and libvlc are compiled with msvc. When it is compiled with Cygwin, it starts instantly.

What compiler are you using?

Glad to hear that I'm not wasting my time with this approach... I am still building the filter (as we speak) to make it fully functional with IMediaControl methods for pausing, stopping and running. At this point the filter I tested yesterday just confirmed that this was possible, which exceeded my ...

WooHoo... Just conducted this test and it works great! Was recently screwing around with the dshow plugin to do this but decided to go off on my own path after messing with it for about a week. The resulting method still uses DirectShow (I'm using windows 2000 with DirectX 9). I created a new filter...
