The VideoLAN Forums

Hi, I've created a new module in VLC, I've compiled and all works. But now I have to add some new functionalities, and to do so I need to use some libraries which are not contained in VLC. What can I do to link external libraries?

Thanks, have you got any idea to find a way for making me know which is the decoder module in use when I'm playing a video file?

Hi, I would like to know which decoder module is initialized and used when I play a file with AVI estension. Because I would like to try some changes to the decoder but I can't understand which is the module that is used and so I don't know which is the file to modify. Thanks

Well, I'm working on an adaptive video streaming project for my thesis at University of Milan. During this thesis it has appeared necessary to develop a video format simpler than the formats already existing. After having built the server I chose VideoLAN for the client-side of my project.

Hi, I have to make VLC able to receive, in streaming, data coming from a streaming server I have already developed.

Hi, I' m working on a streaming project. All I have to do is to to create a server which opens a video file(this file is in a new format created in a previous project) and sends data taken from this file. On the other side I have to develop a client that renders data received from the server. I've a...

Well, I`ve tried to do so. In fact it takes 'only' 15 minutes. It`s not good to wait so long but it`s better then an hour, as compiling from scratch. Thanks a lot, you`ve really took me out of bad troubles.
Bye

I`ve retried the bootstrap and then make, and what a surprise.......it works. Thanks, I`m very happy of it. The only unpleasant thing is that for the make it takes more then a hour to finish. Is it normal? I`ve another little question. If I want to make some changes to the source code, every time I ...
