Hello, If I understand correctly your question, you should have a look at the SD and playlist parser for metachannels. In fact the SD for metachannels (http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=blob;f=share/lua/sd/metachannels.lua;h=da593c4886836f1cbc10ea9e5164b0ef5cd29513;hb=HEAD) fetchs a list of categ...

modules/video_filter/motiondetect.c
To use it, just select the modtion detection filter in the list of available video filters.

So if I understand correctly, your application will give the packet that it received using UDP directly without any demuxing or anything ? In this case you must use imem as an access plugin that will act like a wrapper around open/read/close calls. For this you should create an item with imem:// as ...

Most part of the documentation are written in the VideoLAN wiki : http://wiki.videolan.org This wiki is not really well written so if you have time and motivation to improve the articles and write new one (like tutorials or article about specific features), you are really welcome. That's an importan...

It depends on how you want to distribute this work.
You can either use libvlc and distribute your application that work on top of libvlc or you can create an access module that will do this trick and distribute as a module of vlc.

HumHum, sory I had wrongly read the logs : could you try again to launch make and paste the full error message if it fails ?

First: have a look at this article about extenssions: http://jpeg.dinauz.org/blog/index.php?p ... ons-in-VLC
Then if you have some question: just ask

The contribs do not have any configure step but only the boostrap and build ones.
So the steps are ./bootstrap and then make.
The make will fetch the source and build them for you.

About your error : it seems that the patch cannot apply.

make

You can create an interface lua script that will change the file to play every 5 seconds. (it can be an interface script or just an extenssion that run when launched).
This is fairly easy to do using the playlist obejct.
You can have a look at playlist object methods called next(), random(), ...

You can have a look at the lua extensions that are provided along vlc. For example the imdb extenion can be usefull for you.
I think what you need is a small dialog bow that change the behavior of the playlist when launched and when the button provided by this dialog box is pressed.

How are you launching vlc with the rc interface ?
What kind of error do you have when trying to play the video ? (you can launch vlc with "-vvv" to have more log messages)

1) have you tried with the latest vlc version ?
2) do you have the logs ?

I haven't tried that much libvlc on the emulator because that's really slow and you can't use NEON instructions but I think you should at least launch libvlc without too many problems on the emulator. (using a real device is really more convenient).

Have you tried to use directly the libvlcjni.c and modify it to meet your needs ?

What do you have in your libvlcjni.h ?

The definition is autogenerated (look at libvlcjni.h) from the list of available modules.

VLC on android is working quite well but some features are missing in the UI so it has to be fixed before a beta.

Ok I understand your problem. If you look at http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc/vlc-android.git;a=blob;f=extras/package/android/vlc-android/jni/libvlcjni.c;h=cede8f2410293e883f730c7c58c7a133f2412dba;hb=HEAD#l194 (extra/packages/android/vlc-android/jni/libvlcjni.c) you will see that we do not call libvlc...

--enable-static-modules is a switch for the configure script not CFLAGS or CXXFLAGS.

Hum stupid question: isn't udp://@239.1.1.1:8888 the right mrl (with the '@') ?

Do you have the logs ?

You must use the cofnfigure script present in extra/packages/android/configure.sh (it will do that for you)

You can create an extension that does this work. (lua extension).

There is no specific API for streaming in libvlc. You should pass the comand line options to the libvlc_new function.
A specific API must be designed one day but not any developper has time for it (or are paid to do it unfortunately).
