The VideoLAN Forums

Hello! my problem is quite simple but I haven't found any documentation to help me: is it possible to set HTTP headers in libVLC to be used when opening a URL? In my specific case, I have to set the "Authorization" header with an access token (so no Basic authentication with username and p...

Hello again, I've tried to read a bit the code and I'm still having some questions, maybe less broad then in my previous post :) As far as I've seen, there's a prefetching buffer, which is allocated when the stream is started. I've tried to change its value in VLCOptions but it doesn't have any effe...

Hi all, I have an Android application which relies on libVLC for video playback. I built VLC on a Linux machine following the official documentation and using the Java library like the official VLC Android application does. Everything works fine and smooth but now I wanted to understand how I settin...

Hello there, today I wanted to compile an updated version of VLC (last I did it was in June), so I've got a fresh new clone of the repo and issue the compile command. But as you can see below, it fails. Do you have any clue? Thanks! I'm using android-ndk-r12b on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS . taaalda5@ubuntu:~/...

Ok thanks, stop and playing again for EndReached event works, but of course there's a gap in the playback because of buffering.
Considering it's an http video, I guess that's the best result I can quickly/easily get with libvlc right?

Hello guys, I'm trying to repeat a video in a loop but even if I thought it would have been an easy task, I've found out I'm not able to do it. I'm using libvlc for Android and I'm playing a video over the network. I simply instantiate a LibVLC object and then I create a MediaPlayer, set a Media to ...

Done, thanks!

Hello all, I've compiled libvlc for Android (https://wiki.videolan.org/AndroidCompile/) and I'm using the produced AAR (3.0.0-2.1.0) in my own application. Everything works fine except on an HTC One M8 (Android 6.0 - HTC Sense 7.0), where sometimes, when the player needs to buffer, the video goes bl...

I guess the forum is moderated by someone from VideoLan and since they have picked the license for their own software, I hope they could give me some kind of feedback about that. Probably they have been asked this question several times over the years.

Hi all, I kindly need a clarification about the license because it's not 100% clear to me. We'll use the libvlc library for Android in a commercial project, without any modification: simple compilation and then aar file integration in our project. Do we have to refer to the libvlc source code somewh...
