Re: Stream to memory not working in VLC 3.0

So then the tutorials on the site are wrong?
https://wiki.videolan.org/Stream_to_mem ... _tutorial/

This one clearly tells you to give a bunch of parameters to libvlc_new.

Re: Handling crashes when using libVLC to decode a stream

Well, sure. But the thing is: If I could call VLC instead of having VLC call me, it would work (at least under Windows). The way things are now I'm going to have to search for a different solution; only a very small percentage of people who use my software use the VLC integration, but the majority o...

Re: Handling crashes when using libVLC to decode a stream

That's the only way to be 100% safe, but my experience is that you can catch almost any crash and at least shut down gracefully (or restart) and write some logging using try/catch. So that's what I would like to do here as well.

Output streaming works fine as well, except when something goes wrong. I've subscribed to libvlc_MediaPlayerEncounteredError events using libv...

Re: libvlc_media_player_stop deadlock

I found something that might be useful for other people who run into this issue. If you're feeding VLC with audio through IMEM, and you call libvlc_media_player_stop, it will NOT return unless you return some data via IMEM.
