Thank you for the posts Remi. I think this thread is closed now.

I am compiling and running the above LibVLC program as shown below:

$ cc vlc_demo.c -lvlc -o vlc_demo

$ ./vlc_demo

(the result is choppy video but the audio is fine).

If I just run vlc directly this runs perfectly (smooth video and audio)

$ vlc video.mp4

Other ideas?

Thanks.

Is there another approach to get this to work?

Thank you.

Great. Thank you.

Hello Remi. Thanks for the post. 1.) I do have PulseAudio installed and I see "PulseAudio Sound Server" as an audio output device from the VLC GUI. 2.) Using the "PulseAudio Sound Server" output device from within VLC, I am able to play a file and I get bitstream coming out via H...

Thanks for the post Remi. 1.) My call to libvlc_new() is like this: /* Load the VLC engine */ inst = libvlc_new (0, NULL); Does this look correct? 2.) I don't believe I am using an custom callbacks. 3.) Here is my code below toggling between audio output devices. #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib....

All, 1.) When playing a video with VLC (2.2.5.1) is is possible to use bitstream (pass-through mode) and then switch over to Linear PCM without stopping the video? 2.) There is an audio setting "Use S/PDIF when available". Is it possible to toggle this setting during playback to toggle bet...

All, I hope you are having a great day. 1.) I have compiled VLC (2.2.5.1) to use hardware acceleration and I can play back 1080p videos smoothly without any choppiness of the video or audio. 2.) But when I use LibVLC to play the same video the video is choppy and the CPU usage jumps to 100%. The aud...

The API route has worked successfully. Thank you.

Thanks for the reply Remi. 1.) Do you mind clarifying what you mean that "completely transparent hand-over is fundamentally impossible by hardware design". I don't understand this. When I use "shift-a" it seems to switch over just fine. What limitations are you thinking of? Also ...

All, I hope you are having a great day. I am using VLC 2.2.5.1 on a Debian based system. 1.) When I am playing a video I want to switch the audio destination realtime without stopping the video . When I use the hot-key "shift+a" I can cycle threw the different audio devices while the video...

Anyone?

Remi, Thank you. Using the syntax vlc --alsa-audio-device hifiberry vlc --alsa-audio-device default These commands work, setting up the audio device. BUT... I am not able to switch over to any of the other devices that are more than one word, for example with the "snd_rpi_hifiberry_digi" p...

Did you ever get this working to select the audio device?

Hello everyone... 1.) I am using VLC version 2.2.5.1 on a Raspberian linux distribution. 1.) When I run VLC the graphic interface comes up and I can use the menus to select the audio device Audio | Audio Device | (And then select from 18 different options with my setup). http://i1070.photobucket.com...

Hello Jean. 1.) I am trying to compile VLC with hardware acceleration on a Raspbian distribution of Linux. I'd like to get VLC versoin 3.0 but in the tar/gzip format. 2.) I have previously downloaded the source code for VLC 2.2.51 from the following link: http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vl...

Thank you Jean.

Hello everyone,

Can anyone comment on VLC version 2.2.5.1 and passing through Atmos bitstream audio content? Should this work?

Thanks.

Can anyone comment on VLC version 2.2.5.1 and passing through Atmos bitstream audio content?

Hello everyone! 1.) I am using VLC version 2.2.5.1 on Linux. 2.) When play a video file with surround sound (with pass-through enabled) I will see Dolby Digital 5.1 on my Audio / Video receive (AVR). 3.) When I try to play an Atmos based file my AVR shows Linear PCM 2.0 and not passing the bitstream...

All, I hope everyone is having a great day. 1.) I am using VLC version 3.0.0 on a Raspbian distribution from the command line. 2.) I am trying to play a video containing AC3 surround and would like to do this in the pass-through mode. The command I am using is: vlc --spdif video.mp4 3.) The problem ...
