Solution turned out to be simple: call libvlc_media_player_stop before detaching the events and releasing the player and instance.

Any thoughts on this?

I've added a feature to my video player that lets users choose the y position of the subtitle, achieved with --sub-margin. Since this argument has to be passed in when creating an instance of libvlc, when the user changes the position, I have to release both the instance and the video player, and th...

Also, is it possible your previous commit might prevent such a crash: https://github.com/videolan/vlc/commit/ ... 09426fc87e

Actually, a better question for clarification: If it's an invalid SAR, does that simply mean I'm supplying it with a 0 aspect ratio?

Yeah, sorry, I was being a bit lazy wasn't I. It's a floating point exception so yes, probably division by zero. Looking at the function it appears there could be a few culprits making the 0. The only one I'm not sure of is source->i_sar_den. The documentation on that variable offers no description....

I've implemented libvlc in my Mac app and am encountering a very annoying bug that only affects some of my users some of the time, and I can't recreate it on my end. Basically, when they load a video and hit play, the app crashes. The only breadcrumb I have to go on is that their crash reports all p...

Oddly enough, removing libcaopengllayer_plugin did the trick [he said to no one in particular]

Thanks for your help Hanley!

You're welcome Hanley!

Ok, so in VLC this can be fixed in Preferences -> Video -> Output Modules -> set Video Output Module to "Mac OS X OpenGL video output".

Now how do I do this in libvlc? The only thing I've come across is a suggestion to use -vout, but that only seems to be a Windows option.

When I change the color profile of my iMac display, the color of everything on my screen changes, as expected. However, a moment later, VLC changes the video's color back to what it was. This is happening with both the libvlc player I've implemented in my app, as well as the VLC app. The videos I'm ...

Same problem with the latest 2.1. I did notice that VLC takes the name of the device and does the following: 1. If it's longer than 32 characters, it chops off the 33rd+ characaters. 2. It adds "($1,$64)" on the end. So "Speakers (Realtek High Definition)" becomes "Speakers ...

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried the latest nightly (2.2) and am still getting no devices. Maybe I'm doing something wrong: This is the codeI'm using to print out the available device names. (DBG is a JUCE macro that outputs the string to Visual's output, and String is a JUCE class) libvlc_audio_...

Thnx.

Using 2.1 on Windows 8. I want my app to display the available audio output devices and let the user choose which one vlc's audio goes out of, like VLC Media Player 2.1. But... libvlc_audio_output_device_id and libvlc_audio_output_device_count are deprecated and just return 0 anyway. And the newer l...

How do I enable WASAPI? I used libvlc_audio_output_list_get to see all the available audio outputs and it showed:

waveout
aout_file
aout_directx
amem

I'm using vlc 2.1 on Windows 8

I don't think I've got the chops to figure that one out. Am I asking for trouble sending it in through libvlc_new?

The only solutions I'm finding for turning of osd is to send the "--no-osd" through the libvlc_new() method, BUT the libvlc documentation says not to do it that way anymore. I've searched the documentation, examples and forum and i can't find another way to do it. So, what is the alternati...

OK, I made it past the ranlib problem. Now it's making the prebuilt no problem, BUT I'm now encountering a different error: CCLD libvlccore.la Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: "_iconv", referenced from: __nl_find_msg in libintl.a(dcigettext.o) (maybe you meant: _vlc_iconv_open, _...

Hey scottlin. Did you ever fix this error? I'm running into the same exact thing and I can't figure it out. Thanks.

Well, looking at it closer, it also can't find libtool. I looked in Developer/usr/bin and neither ranlib or libtool are there. However, I did find them in usr/bin as well as in Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin. How do I get the build to look there...

I'm following the OS X compile instructions from http://wiki.videolan.org/OSXCompile. I've tried this every which way and I keep getting the same error when I try to build vlc: AR libtar.a ar: can't find or exec: /Developer/usr/bin/ranlib (No such file or directory) ar: internal ranlib command faile...
