Is there no solution to rotate video/image playback with libVLC for Android?

Go back to the command line and run the commands: "git tag" and "git log". When you run git tag it'll provide you with the most up to date tagged release version. Since you've pulled down the most recent master branch, you should have the latest release build. When you run git lo...

What version if libVLC and git hash are you pulling from?

What I think he means is that you need to manually reinitialize the libVLC instance yourself along with the other things you specified.

First, include the libVLC library via Maven in Android. Then you'll create a libVLC instance object. You'll have to provide a file path of the media you want to play. You'll create a libVLC MediaPlayer and load the media into the MediaPlayer object. That MediaPlayer object will have commands like, s...

I did figure this out for the Android VLC SDK. What you need to do is create an Android Surface View, and then instantiate the libVLC object to that surface view. From there, you'll need to figure out where the file is located. Once you have the file path and file name on the local device, you'll pr...

RTSP tends to displays a green or grey overlay until the frame refreshes after a few seconds. Especially over wifi. Have you experienced the same?

I'd like to be able to rotate a libVLC surface instance in quarter turns. I know how to set the size of the surface which I've embedded inside a Frame. But how would I go about quarter turning the video? I'm using libVLC for Android 2.0.6. public void setPlayerDimensions(int mPlayerWidth, int mPlaye...

Thank you for your help. I ended up calculating the aspect ratio dynamically. int gcd = greatest_common_divisor(window_width, window_height); int new_width = window_width / gcd; int new_height = window_height / gcd; std::string ratio = convert_int_to_string(new_width) + ":" + convert_int_t...

I'm attempting to play video and images inside a Qt QFrame. I have to set the QFrame dimensions manually, and need to stretch the video to match the QFrame dimensions. No matter what I do I can't seem to get the video to stretch to both the horizontal and vertical. I want to change the video and not...

FYI to anybody else that has the same problem as me. I ended up figuring out how to add the command line switched to the mosiac. The trick is to add the {} brackets after mosaic in the transcode command. There you can set your parameters. Hope this helps somebody. libvlc_vlm_add_broadcast(vlc, "...

Good morning, I have a question about specifying the individual broadcast inputs resolution for a mosaic. Currently, when I load a static file twice as two independent inputs, I'm seeing them at a fixed resolution. I set the resolution in the output, but it doesn't affect the resolution. I read: &qu...

Thank you very much for this.

FYI. So far I've found that the VLC mosaic is the best option to send multiple video inputs to a single receiver. I'm still trying to figure out the most efficient video streaming protocol though. Please let me know if anybody on this forum has any suggestions. Thank you.

The command i'm using is : vlc -vvv --color --vlm-conf --mosaic-width=360 --mosaic-height=288 --mosaic-keep-picture --mosaic-rows=2 --mosaic-cols=2 --mosaic-position=1 --mosaic-order=1,2,3,4 mosaic.vlm --ttl 12 --udp-caching 800 --file-logging Correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't you be specifying...

I've been researching different video streaming protocols. I.E. HTTP, RTP, RTSP, UDP, etc... And I'm trying to figure out what the best method to send several video inputs (web cams, SDI inputs on a Blackmagic card, etc...) to either an Android tablet or an iPad. What would be my best bet in terms o...
