Hello douglas222!

Of course you can. libVLC is made for that.

See this tutorial for the basic way to do it.

You can also control the VLC - player by another program. See this example of a video displayed inside another window, written in freeBasic.

You'll have to create a Windows environment variable named VLC_PLUGIN_PATH and set it to your plugin path, e.g. regards

@bounty:
That's a very interesting thread! Maybe it's valuable to create libvlccore bindings for freeBasic (or maybe it's easier to use the command line args). I'll have a look at it.

It seems to me that "--audio-filter=mono" doesn't work at all. As a workaround you can use the "transcode" - option instead: char smem_options[256]; sprintf(smem_options, "#transcode{acodec=s16l,channels=1}:duplicate{dst=display,dst=dummy}"; const char * const vlc_argv[...

Maybe try to create the libVLC - instance with the arguments char smem_options[256]; sprintf(smem_options, "file:c:outputFile.mp3"; const char * const vlc_args[] = { "--sout", smem_options }; In my freeBasic adaption of libVLC this method works. Regards grindstone

Hello Jörg! I guess for that backward assignment you have to write your own code: search the file >po\de.po< for the string >msgstr "Russisch"< . In the line above that string you'll find the english term for that language ( >msgid "Russian"< ) and one further line above the name...

Thank you for your answer. Replacing the scaled video within an arbitrary window would have been the easiest way to use it as one of multiple elements e.g. for a game. I guess it's time for plan B now: Removing the frame and title bar from the video window and making it a child of the game's main wi...

Noone any idea?

Hello community! :) I'm actually translating the libVLC header files for freeBasic (to be honest: I'm finishing the work some other guy(s) once began). It seems to work so far, and now I'm trying to write an example code to show how one can embed a video in a random window. Hooking the video output ...
