Ok, that was brief . Is it at least possible to start two or more videos at once to be played synchronously?

It would be fantastic if I could at least delay playback start of some video to some exact moment in the future. Great feature for video editors based on libvlc.

Is it possible to use external clock to play video using VLClib?

The reason is to be able to synchronously play two videos at once using VLClib (and synchronize videos to external time code, e.g. Midi Time Code, LTC, SMPTE, different music file ...).

The existing code won't help me much, since it extracts the images from start of the file to the end. The problem appears when randomly seeking the file. It looks like I should wait for something once I seek the file to random position - because when I try the seek the file in VLC player, it seeks a...

I have a custom renderer to render the video to Bitmap. The problem is, when I use pause function with seek (PauseAt in code), the video stops working after a few PauseAt calls. The CurrenBitmap returns always the same image - same image is rendered by VLC. It happens after several calls of PauseAt....

Sounds great, will test it, thanks. Do you think it’s already ok to use version 4?

Hi, is there a way to render video using LibVLC directly to Texture2D, which could be used in my own scene in SharpDX? I know there is a way using vmem, but that's CPU involved leading into lower performance. I'm not a professional, but I suppose there is a different directx device context in LibVLC...
