Does libvlc load plugins that were dropped in the plugins directory while an application using libvlc is already running?

Thank you for your answer but I don't understand - I have libvlc and I am not sure what you mean by 'dialogs'. If you could clarify, thanks.

OK, so is there any kind-of easy way to tell which plugins are in use during playback? I tried to use file-access timestamp on plugin dlls but those do not change.

This question can be put in more general terms: how can I get to know which plugins are in use while playing file X?

OK, just checked. You are completely right. My callbacks are slow for some reason.

I specifically recompiled VLC with imem having buffer of 1MB to make it just read a bigger chunk at once. It did nothing. The callbacks were just called less often, like if vlclib didn't need the data at this pace. Thanks for all the replies y the way.

Yes, I do. I have been debuging it for a long time. First data is read from the beginning of file and later a seek is made to the near-end of file and reading continues. It reads about ~6MB of data before it starts playback. It's all metadata/atoms of MP4 but it takes like 20-30 seconds. Playback of...

Is there any reason why this works very slow? It takes 20-30 seconds to open an MP4 from hard drive this way. I can't just pass the MP4 file path here for irrelevant reasons, I just can't.

I have a stream accessible through imem extension. It's an MP4 stream - there is about 400MB of data in it. vlclib reads about 6MB of data from the stream before even starting playback. Is there any way I can set it up so that playback starts in max couple seconds (again, I know what the format is e...

Hello, I need to change the buffer size passed to read callback registered with libvlc_media_read_cb(...) but can't find where those callbacks are actually called. I tried chenging module imem_access but without result.
