Hi, I have successfully managed to get libvlc to work with dvb. However, i need to lookup the SSID of the channel i want to use........is there a function i can call to work out what the SSID's are for a particular frequency? i.e. for the real vlc app, all i need to do is give vlc a frequency and ba...

thank you very much

i would say if it is not too much work then please add it as for me get and set functions should really go together. My vlc's are placed onto docking windows and whenever i dock/undock them, the handle of the window changes and so vlc stops playing. To get around this problem i compare the handle cu...

ok i have tested with vlc 1.0.0 GIT and the libvlc_new and libvlc_media_player_stop locks appear to have been fixed. However, when i play a video they always open in a separate window with "VLC (Direct3d Output)" on the caption instead of the windows handle i gave it. i fixed this by using...

sorry remi - i dont know how to build vlc myself, any idea when the nighties server might be back up? or can u email me a compiled v1.0.0 exe?

your not the only the one im afraid - been having this issue too.

Hi - Happy to try the latest version but with the nightly builds being down at the moment, would it be posible for you to post a link to the latest exe? (sorry im not very good with GIT - unless you can walk me through it?....)

anyone know of any progress on this?

Looking at some debug code i notice when Libvlc_new does return successfully, it loads the libhotkeys_plugin.dll ok, but when it doesn't return its doesn't get to this point.....

try using v2 of the plugin

VLCPlugin2: TVLCPlugin2;

A few things have changed, so VLCPlugin1.AddTarget will be VLCPlugin2.Playlist.Add i believe

yep. this is a problem everyone has and as far as i know it hasn't been fixed yet even in the nightly builds

are you using v1 or v2 of the plugin?

this page might help

i did say it would need some work to make it 0.9.8a compatible........ :) i think the problem you are experiencing is this http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=54076 I too get this issue - but only occasionally. Do you click play in the Delphi IDE, the project builds, all the vlc dlls ...

hi, The ActiveX objects have not been maintained for some time and i have problems with them too. If you wanted to use the libvlc.dll this could be a good starting place but you might need to update is a little to work with 0.9.8a http://wiki.videolan.org/IceVLCPlayer There are also a couple of Delp...

use the libvlc_video_take_snapshot procedure which will save either a jpg or png to a file of your choice

not sure if this will solve it for you, but use v2 of the plugin, v1 is deprecated

Something like private AxVLCPlugin2 vlcPlayer = new AxVLCPlugin2();

good work on the invesigation - giving a bump so this can get noticed

yep agree! libvlc is seems very promising. Do you know who were the original developers?

turns out my problem to question 1 is due to options being overwritten in libvlc...........Ticket #2325 raised by yourself! "Libvlc API allows multiple instances of libvlc (through several calls to libvlc_new(argc, argv, &ex) ). Yet, those instances are not fully independent. They share the...

erwan10 - my apoligies - it is actually just 562000 but i had a bug in my code which meant none of the options had been passed to the media item (however it didn't exist in the media_list code so that worked ok). Thank you for your help

Thanks for the reply "--meta-title" does appear to work for me, the video popup title is still the same for all videos (it happens to be the MRL of the last created media item). DVB-T problem is strange - definately doesn't work just from a media item to media player for me - do you have a...

thank you

Hi, Please could someone help me with a couple of libvlc api issues i have with v0.9.8a? 1) I have 1 instance of vlc (libvlc_new) and multiple media players all playing different udp streams. The video title that pops up and then disappears is the same for all videos - other than creating multiples ...

does anyone know the progress on this media_list deadlock fix yet?

Yes - everything is in one thread (the main app) from my end. Its more of a problem when i have 4 vlcs in the app all play videos, and then i cycle them and stop them all, it will normally fail on the 2nd or 3rd stop command. This is the Delphi code but its the same for VB, where MediaPlayer is a wr...

Hi,

Please can a developer take a look at these issues? I can confirm vlc seems to itermittently hang on libvlc_new and libvlc_media_player_stop calls to the dll?
