Hi Folks, Now that 2.1.0 is released (belated congratulatons!) is there a binary VLCKit.Framework available? The version in VLCKit.git is still cloning vlc.git not vlc-2.1.git. I'm also still seeing two (work-roundable) problems with the VLCKit build process (XCode 5.0.1, OSX 10.9 Mavericks): 1) The...

This is the actual command that fails - no idea why, because it doesn't mention libiconv.la anywhere! (in build/Release/vlc_build_dir/i386/modules/codec) $ echo " CCLD " liblibass_plugin.la;../../doltlibtool --silent --tag=CC --mode=link xcrun clang -isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Conten...

Hi Felix, I'm having trouble building VLCKit from the VLCKit.git master, too. This is using Xcode 4.6.3 on a virgin Mac mini running 10.8.3 (bought especially for this purpose, long story!). The default 'Debug' configuration builds fine, but "Release" fails with the following error: CCLD l...

Just a quick update: I have found a solution using VLCKit - rather than having the VLCVideoView and WebView in the same window, put the WebView in a transparent child window of the one containing the video. In combination with CoreGraphics full screen mode this works beautifully and because (I think...

OK, good job I checked then! Is it possible to get another control (of any sort) overlaid transparently over the video using a VLCVideoView? The idea of using a WebView is essentially to provide a kind of virtual IPTV set-top box / connected TV environment on a Mac, allowing a single server-based HT...

Sure, just reporting that this was the only thing stopping it being built out of the box - maybe the shipped xcodeproj could include the flag?

Thanks

Paul

Folks, Thanks to Felix's build changes I can now build and run VLCKit from 2.1 (unstable) just fine, but I need some more advice please... I'm trying to overlap a transparent-background WebView on top of the VLCVideoView, but the video always forces itself to the front. Is there any way of making th...

GDB symbols too! Awesome

OK, git master does now build out of the box for me, but for one tiny problem introduced today in your commit dc7fe584: .. Examples/test/Controller.m:134: error: 'for' loop initial declaration used outside C99 mode Maybe an older compiler (XCode 4.2, llvm-gcc-4.2) is more fussy? Trivial patch: diff ...

OK, that's great, thanks Felix.

Now I know it will work with the fix I will switch back to 2.1, no point in working to an old API.

Best regards

Paul

OK, discussion moved to http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/7937

Thanks Felix, The 2.0 branch fixes the build issues, as you say, so we're just left with this crash... I was going to raise a ticket for it but then found this... http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/7937 Sounds identical, and confirms my my hunch that the window ptr was simply NULL. I'll press on wi...

Well, gdb on the app binary just works :-) This confirms the crash in vout_window_Control() but I can't work out how to get source through the dylibs to trace it any further. So to summarise: - VLC 2.0.5 builds and works - VLCKit builds fine from git-2.0 but multiple issues in master - Test app cras...

Answering at least one of my own questions... The 2.0 branch in git does still contain projects/macosx, which builds just fine, none of the problems I had with master. Why isn't this in the 2.0.5 source release tarball, I wonder? But this still crashes in exactly the same way, in vout_window_Control...

Hi Folks, I'm doing a proof-of-concept at the moment that needs multicast and RTSP MPEG-2 video streaming integrated with a browser on a Mac, so I of course thought of VLC, since QT doesn't seem to do either. Initially I was looking at the Mac plugin but I note there are issues with Mountain Lion, a...

Hi Dave, (also in reply to your PM) I was the original reporter of Bug#1881 which was originally filed because VLC had stopped supporting GET_PARAMETER at all; in the 1.0.x line it does support GET_PARAMETER keepalives but only in certain conditions... It looks to me like your encoder's RTSP server ...

I'm not familiar with your camera server but it sounds like this is the same problem we are seeing with our RTSP video server, which I've just raised as a bug: 1881 My guess is your camera server (like many other servers, including ours) uses GET_PARAMETER as a 'keepalive' to assure itself the clien...
