Come talk on discord, will be easier for libvlcsharp matters.

this sample is using different libvlc APIs but it works https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/ ... player.cpp

Maybe this helps you with your sample, or you can switch to this one (and libvlc 4)

The strange thing is that the prototype on WPF DVD works without problems I can't make it work in WPF too. I'm confused, honestly. What can we do next to investigate? I guess you're using an LGPL build without DVD support? Check your dlls. Because DVD support is GPL so these Windows builds are not ...

What are you trying to achieve? What issue are you trying to solve?

First, use the SAME libvlc version in both apps, the one that works and the one that doesn't. It will allow you to figure out whether its a libvlc issue or not.

What's "the starting sample"? Link please. If LibVLC opens a window when you call mediaplayer_play, you're misusing the API. LibVLC is creating a window because none was provided to it. You're responsible to provide a target area (e.g. window) to libvlc before starting playback. And since ...

Better place for feature request is https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues. I don't know if it would a good idea for libvlc.

maybe try libvlc_video_set_key_input. Otherwise I don't know.

Please share a repro sample.

Also, DVD support in LibVLC requires GPL compliance (so your app must be opensource to use this feature).

Please study the vlc-android code which accounts for this use case, as you can test in the VLC Android app.

You're already listening to button events. So listen for 'q' being pressed specifically and run your exit code when that happens?

Hi,

please share full logs. And maybe compare your rtsp server configuration with those that work.

Hmm your logs are both failures cases right? Bit confusing... it works on win10 or on win11 or both sometimes?

If it's the same app, same libvlc build, it might a permission that is missing?

VLC doesn't support GIFs https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/6697

Glad you found it. Trial and error is one way to go.

For the other method, you need to gain an understanding of how libvlc works, which functions are needed and in which dlls they are located. This requires going through the libvlc code (not libvlcsharp).

You can either look into the code and see which file is handling the feature and make sure the resulting binary is included, or disable/enable DLLs until you find the right ones to include.

You're probably missing (at least) plugins\video_filter\libscene_plugin.dll.

does it work when you include all DLLs?
what do the logs say?

That's unknown.

That's because you're calling play() on a mediaplayer that has no target window set to draw on.

Again, either a bug in the view integration of libvlcsharp, or in your code. Until you share your code, I can't tell you more.

When the end is reached, the player is already stopped, so no point in stopping it again. Just play the next media.

If you need more precise time, I think you will need to write some custom code.
First read https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/ ... uests/2312 comments and commits. Then see how to use these functions from libvlcsharp in unity.

Using LibVLC options is not supported in any way. I believe the documentation for libvlc_new() is abundantly clear. And yet, it works, likely supported during major version timelines and it's the only way to do many things until LibVLC offers a proper C API for these things. But what if we're tryin...

do you have this issue when playing a media from a URL as well?
