Tried to get the trace with GDB - With "target exec", VLC is no longer capable to open the stream [url]http://interalmeria.tv/directo/live.m3u8[/url]. - Attaching to the VLC process after starting VLC (stream running now), will hang VLC. So, no way to get the trace. I'm using VLC debug ver...

Hi, I am experiencing a deadlock when playing internet streams on unstable connections. Simple test case ( vlc win 3.0.8 ): - open VLC and add this sample source: http://interalmeria.tv/directo/live.m3u8 , play it. - disconnect the network cable. VLC will consume buffers and then will hang on a fram...

Hello, I've seen some samples of RTMP streaming from memory. All the samples refer to VIDEO (see https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=148542) What about creating an A/V source, i.e. RGB frames + Audio frames (PCM16S), in-memory ? libvlc_media_new_callbacks() is very useful here. But I guess we...

Cool post!

How can we manage audio ?

No luck with any youtube src url.
(anyway it works perfectly by using the video url "Path:" I get from the log).

Here's the log of "www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B-XwPjn9YY"

Hi @unidan,

you say:

but you might have copy from GPU memory to RAM.

Color conversion and copy is something that happens inside libVLC after you set the video format callback (hw decoding gone away).
So, am I (probably) missing something ?

oh, good reference! Thanks

Ok, got it. I miss the texture update code, i.e. the way you get/draw the pixels.

Starting timers..

Eh, ok.. It seems it's not loading the lua module. I'm using 3.06, 3.07b.
The modules are in the right place, so .. I did not find any reason why it's not working.
Need I set a path var ?

Phew, I am back.. @sherington, I am confused: - seeting callbacks will disable hw accell decoding, do you agree ? - using GL callbacks will also disable hw accell decoding, right ? - are you using GL callbacks to minimize CPU-GPU memory copy ? definitely a snippet of the callback will ease my mind :)

Hello,

is there a simple youtube player example src around ?

about 4.0 GPU texture sharing, is already there ? Any example ?

Ehehe, ok... so it's only matter of time and patience. Any estimation ?

- using vmem?

yes, i am using audio/video callbacks. Any other, more efficient way ?

- you need a new api for this

is there a new timing api in 4.0 ?

- logs ?

no current logs atm. I'll try to get them.

do you mean it has been improved in 4.0 ?

can you share a snippet sherington ?

I am confused: libVLC explicitly sets a next_update time delay to 250ms. For confirmation, I checked the static void *vlc_demux_chained_Thread(void *data) in demux_chained.c: next_update = vlc_tick_now() + VLC_TICK_FROM_MS(250); Many developers are reporting the same issue. Is there a way to get a m...

it seems I spotted the same problem: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=147910

Pls submit the patch.

see my post: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=148843 The aim of slow event notification is probably to save lazy coders from packing events and firing them to a gui (but almost every repaint manager coalesces very frequent repaints()). What's less clear is why the libvlc_media_pla...

Any luck with latest builds ?

Attaching callbacks will turn off any hw accell IMHO. That's a pity. Really.
I am asking myself if grabbing decoded frames from hw surfaces may be that difficult.

BTW Any success with LWJGL ?

The good news ? All my tests are OK with 4.0 (win10 x64). Other news ? - no speed improvements for (a)rgb video callbacks (still the LAV directshow filters are ouperforming libVLC by about 30-40% with 4k clips. That's strange) - the DEV version still gives no accurate media timing api. See: https://...

So, a basic recompile of my code would be sufficient, right ?

Hello,

I would like to move my codebase to libVLC 4.0 from 3.0.x.

Is it api-compatible ?
Are there any guide, hints, suggestions for a smooth 4.0 api adoption ?

Thanks,

Mik
