The VideoLAN Forums

I have a feeling you want to know about *any* video playing in your Internet browser, and that would be impossible for VLC to know, as both software operate in distinct and isolated memory space.

As far as I understand, YUV is just a pixel format. https://wiki.videolan.org/YUV/ If you don't have a specific codec for your file format, VLC will never know what to do with it. And we see this from the demux error above. I would suggest that you convert your file to a known container like mp4, mk...

luca87, Is there some logs that you can generate that would help the developers isolate the problen should a problem exist?

I feel that I experienced the same behavior using my fsplayer app (https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=148938#p491897), LibVLC 3.0.6 and a ffmpeg 4.1.3 recording of an ATSC stream. It occurs very rarely and randomly. I have yet to find a definite way to reproduce the problem. My work...

No. We are not going to redesign the whole pipeline just to accomodate your unusual API expectations. No problem! I understand! You guys have plenty on your plates. 8) Someday, I might be in a much better position & skilled enough to contribute to the VLC development. But in the meantime, the o...

Before libvlc_media_player_play(), LibVLC does not have a window, so obviously it cannot provide it. Your request is self-contradictory.

What if the LibVLC window could also be created by a call to libvlc_media_player_pause()?

fsplayer - X11 Fullscreen Video Player Using LibVLC The app is ready! :D It's a frontend to LibVLC that plays a video fullscreen under UNIX/LINUX. It's based on X11, so it's not limited to a specific window manager (WM). C Language programmers who want a LibVLC sample program should find fsplayer o...

Just a few hints, you may double-check your LibVLC calls. Some data returned by the library must be freed by the caller. Also, some data may be poked into a structure that you provided, and that poked data may need to be released as well.

Domarius, perhaps you could have another window over the LibVLC window. Best of both worlds!

EDIT: Or even a child window of the LibVLC window.

Are you calling libvlc in a libvlc callback? Important question indeed! Personally I try to avoid any processing in calback functions and threads, just set binary variables picked up by the main process. From my experience, the libvlc_media_player_get_position() didn't give good results, always 0 t...

Personally, I don't have a PI. I'm using FreeBSD. From my experience, I got nowhere with SDL, so I decided to stick with pure X11 functions and try to find a workaround. No doubt that it would be awesome if LibVLC had the FULLSCREEN feature. If your PI system enables you to this kind of stuff, try m...

First off, let me raise my hat to all the VLC developers out there. :D I always been a fan of VLC since v1.0.0 for WIN32. :lol: Now that I have this idea of a custom app in my mind and kind of know how I can create it, I'm excited to share it with anyone interested when it's ready. LibVLC Features d...
