VLC is an open-source community project. There are no feature plans to begin with. I understand it. I'm just kindly asking. :-) I thought that you might know that may be one of the developers plans to implement it or it might have a been a good idea for a GSoC project. Unfortunately I just started ...

RSATom> Great I'm looking forward to it. Thanks a lot for your work.

Great. In your pfirst post you've written that it is not finished yet. So I thought that QmlVlc is not ready to use.

Is there an example on how it can be used? Unfortunately I'm really a beginner in C/C++ and I need good documentation and examples to be able to create something that works.

No, LibVLC does not support gapless so far.

I was afraid about it. Is it a planned feature? I don't need it right now since it will likely take one year before I finish my player. But I would definitely like to support it in the future.

Hello, I'm working on a music player for touch screen devices running Windows (not RT), Android and other Linux distributions. I have written the UI and library part of my player and when I implemented the playback, I found out that QtMultimedia has many limitations. Then libVLC came to my mind sinc...

I would be interested in this too. It seems that embedding classic widget to QML is not possible anymore: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1301 ... ect-in-qml

If you find a way how to do play a video in QML using libVLC, please let me know. Thanks a lot in advance.

But other players like MPC, MPlayer, KMPlayer or any player using ffdshow or VSFilter can do it for years (with any render - overlay, VMR or EVR). I think the main reason is a bad design decision when subtitles are rendered into video before applying filters. If it would be the other way round, you ...

On winkde.org I found a package phonon-vlc-mingw4-20100605-bin.tar.bz2 . It contains file phonon_vlc.dll . I put that file in ..PyQt4\plugins\phonon_backend directory and removed the phonon_ds94.dll DirectShow backend library. But now PyQt complains that ic can't find any Phonon backend. What else d...

That would be great. I'm trying to create an audio player in PyQt which will be using Phonon. But the included DirectShow backend doesn't work. So I would like to replace it with VLC backend. Could you give me some advice on how to do that? I know there is a directory ..\PyQt4\plugins\phonon_backend...

Is there any news on this now that VLC 1.1 RC is out? Thank you.

Hello, I just read at AmaroK blog that the VLC phonon backend is stable and ready to be used. I would like to use it on Windows, since the DirectShow backend doesn't work at all for me. Unfortunately I have no experience with compiling C/C++ code. Does anybody of you has by chance the VLC Phonon bac...

So they haven't published the modified sources, if I understood you right. That's really disappointing.

Hi, I would like to ask you only out of curiosity if you know about the modified version of VLC that can be found in SmartQ V5 and V7. This MID runs a modified version of Ubuntu and the default media player is VLC. The version is 1.1 and it contains HW acceleration for video decoding. I'm curious if...

I already lost my hope it will ever happen.

I just checked the latest build and I think all the subtitles problems are still there: 1) Letterbox - if it's there, I can't find it 2) In Windows font can't be chosen, no font is selected by default. 3) Size can only be set in 5 steps. Font size in pixels would be much better. 4) Subtitles are not...

I had two separate ideas/requests. The first one as you understood is to use the place for album art to preview videos in media library. The other idea was to create some panes which can be used to filter media library by genre/artist/album. This feature is very popular and useful. For example there...

Right right, I described that poorly. The file is an .avi, and comes with a separate .srt file that contains the subtitles. Using VLC I can play the movie with subtitles but when it's burnt to a DVD it has none (obviously, the .srt has not been associated with the file being burned). I assumed that...

It looks to me, that VLC is becoming not only a video player but also an audio player. I think the place for album art could also work as a place for video (if they are in the media library). Anyway what a good video player needs is a filter component, which flilter the library by genre/artist/album...

I do believe you question is absolutely irrelevant to VLC. Please have a look at programs like DVD Flick, FAVC or AVStoDVD.

It would also help if you said what format is your video and which formats does you player support.

This seems to me like quite difficult workaround. I think the problem is much more simple. You don't have to adjust the height of black stripes according to movie window. Because the user is expected to set the AR of his/her screen. Let's say I have a 4:3 monitor. I will never want video with AR dif...

I don't see inside of VLC, but why would it be such a big deal to move subtitle rendering after filters?

The problem is not only with letterbox but also with crop filter. The subtitles are then cropped together with video.

The feature you are asking for is called letterbox. Letterboxing means that the video player will add black borders to any video to match the AR of your screen (5:4, 4:3, 16:10 etc.) The letterboxing of course has to be done before the subtitles are rendered. Every standalone DVD player can do it. A...

Alexsource It is IMHO quite clearly explained in the thread I started at Doom9 and which I already linked here. Standalone players are usually a piece of crap. The only part where they overcome all computer players is support for different TV AR and subtitles on DVD. DJ You're right. Almost all TV'...

We might see some improvements after this year's summer - http://code.google.com/soc/videolan/app ... B6694A9B53

Why don't you convert directly MKV to DVD-Video using programs such as DVD Flick or FAVC?
