The VideoLAN Forums

I don't want to display it, I just want access to the stream without a surface.

Thank you for replying, I hadn't seen it until now. I tried a clean build about a dozen times and had no luck. I eventually solved my problem by checking out an older version of VLC and following the directions here https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=122463&p=413287&hilit=sn...

I was able to successfully enable the snapshot feature by checking out an older version of VLC and following the directions here https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=122463&p=413287&hilit=snapshot#p413287 . I also had to manually add the take_snapshot function to the libvlc cp...

I was able to stream successfully by using the VideoPlayerActivity from the VLC android app.

Is it possible to access a stream without attaching it to a surface? So far I have only been met with errors. I spent about a week trying to enable the snapshot functionality (which finally works!), but I would really like to be able to take a picture in the background without viewing the stream. So...

This is the newest error after updating cmake and reinstall protoc 2.6.0 <command-line>:0:17: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before '-' token ../../include/vlc_plugin.h:205:36: note: in definition of macro 'CRUDE_HACK' #define CRUDE_HACK( y, z ) y##__##z ^ ../../include/vlc_...

I have been trying nonstop since last Thursday to compile VLC for android with the encoders for takeSnapShot compiled in. From a few other forum posts, I have gathered that the way to do this is by enabling sout in the configuration, and enabling encoder=png in the ffmpeg rules.mak. I believe I have...

I added the function to the libvlcjni.c function and now my application recognizes the function, but so far I still been unable to take a snapshot. I keep getting the same error: 03-28 21:47:00.477 10382-10382/org.videolan.vlc.debug E/VLC﹕ [b870734c] core video output: Encoding support not compiled-...

Thank you for your reply. Hopefully we can get this figured out. I was wondering if you were editing any .cpp files yourself? From the posts I linked to above I was under the impression that I wouldn't have to, but the post here http://www.xuebuyuan.com/583744.html is making me think that I may. I w...

I have been having a lot of trouble compiling to enable the SnapShot functionality on Android. I have been referring to two forum posts https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=122463&p=413287&hilit=snapshot#p413287, and https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=122963. ...

Could anyone help me get started with developing a simple video player activity to show an RTSP stream in Android? I have found a bunch of different examples, but I think they are outdated because they use methods I am unable to reference. readMedia() is a good example of this. I don't think I have ...

Not sure if anyone else has trouble with this, but I figured it out. If you compiled it correctly in Linux you can just import the vlc-android directory into Android Studio and it will import everything you need. Worked for me.

Thank you, but I do not know how to import the project into Android Studio. Do I need to import the same projects that I did in Eclipse, or can do I import the entire "android" directory?

AndroidCompile refers exclusively to Eclipse.

I would much prefer to use Android Studio, but everything I have read has directed me towards Eclipse. Would you be able to help me with the import procedure for Android Studio?

I am trying to build VLC in Eclipse. I have successfully imported all of the projects and am now left with 14 errors, all of which refer to the generated BuildConfig.java class. The BuildConfig that Eclipse is generating contains only a DEBUG member: /** Automatically generated file. DO NOT MODIFY *...
