The VideoLAN Forums

I tried. The process was complicated by the fact that I couldn't get VLC to play a file from the command line. Every time I tried, it told me the file name was an invalid parameter. So I had to load the file once VLC started, which threw the logs pretty far out of sync. The version of diff I have do...

This will probably be the last piece of information I'll provide. I discovered the .lib files in the sdk, and so created a new project with just the sample code mentioned above, linking against those libraries. The same behavior as above except aborting immediately after "main audio output debu...

Curiously, I put the sample code from https://wiki.videolan.org/LibVLC_Tutorial/ at the top of main(), figuring it HAD to work. It doesn't get as far as the code I wrote, which baffles me even more. ????? With "--verbose=2" as the only parameter: [00781290] main libvlc debug: VLC media pla...

Now I have to Google "why did git delete my source files?" Fortunately, I had already committed them so I didn't have to commit seppuku as well. Also safely backed up. Now, trying to push, it's complaining about SLL certificates. I would really prefer to debug my own code and not git, or l...

I haven't used git in more than 5 years. Give me a minute.

... and I've searched every "black screen" thread I could find. This is my first attempt at using libVLC in a project (Windows, to be ported to Linux), and it's driving me nuts. Regardless of the media, all I can get is a black screen. The code is spread out over three C++ classes, but the...

More's the pity. I keep Zoom player for single-frame (works via mouse wheel, pretty cool) and PowerDVD for its DVD control buttons. I'd sure like to strip it down to just VLC, but I guess that won't happen.
