The VideoLAN Forums

Hi, Programming in QT4/C++ with the libvlc API, I found it great to run several inputs concurrently within a libvlc instance. Everything runs fine ...... except when it comes to hotkeys ! Browsing through the code (VLC0.9.4 and VLC1.0.0 from trac), I realized the hotkeys design doesn't seem to be in...

Hi, Not sure where and how to report a bug, I hope this forum is ok. In the file modules/codec/fake.c , a callback function has been forgotten. The function FakeCallback was written to manage changes at run time for both the fake-file and fake-file-reload variables. But only fake-file was fully impl...

this works : => vlc --no-video-title-show file.avi

Hi, As a follow-up to this in-memory snapshot issue, things may even be easier than expected. The mediacontrol vlc API implements this in-memory function (see mediacontrol.h) : VLC_PUBLIC_API mediacontrol_RGBPicture * mediacontrol_snapshot( mediacontrol_Instance *self, const mediacontrol_Position *a...

Hi, you can use a TCP/IP socket in lieu of the standard rc interface by typing : => vlc -I rc --rc-host localhost:9999 --sub-filter logo ..... You can connect to vlc by issuing the following command and typing the rc commands. => nc localhost 9999 This nc command can very easily be inserted into a b...

My understanding is that this should work for both (either at the libvlc level or at the media level). If you manage several medias concurrently, it is better to do it at the media level. Also if you use a chain of filters, it is better to do it at this level. I suppose you can even use the same fil...

Hi, You can do something along this line : 1) play a media with an option like : "--video-filter=adjust@my_label" 2) retrieve the internal reference to the first object libvlc int object_id = libvlc_get_vlc_id( p_vlc_instance ); vlc_object_t* p_libvlc = (vlc_object_t *) vlc_object_get ( ob...

Hello, Actually, I came across an interesting piece of code in vlc 0.9.3 sources. The snapshot-path option has been designed to accept in-memory snapshot. The syntax is snapshot-path = "object:<id>" where id refers to a vlc object. I don't know whether this is deprecated or a new feature y...

Hello,

To whom It may be of interest

I eventually worked out the snapshot problem (file created with size = 0)

I had forgotten the --enable-swscale option when I compiled and installed the ffmpeg contrib. Doing so solved the problem !

Hello, Actually, I also would find it nice to have seamless transitions from one item to the other within a playlist. I suppose this means restructuring the vlc code a lot (reusing the same video_output thread ????). Maybe a thing to ask as an enhancement in a future version. Regarding --input-list ...

Hello, I tested the following bat script on Windows XP using VLC 0.9.2. It works fine for VOB files. PATH=%PATH%;"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC" D: cd \MyVideo\Movie1 vlc VTS_14_1.VOB :input-list="VTS_14_2.VOB,VTS_14_3.VOB,VTS_14_4.VOB,VTS_14_5.VOB" :meta-title=Movie1 As for AVI ...

Hello, I experienced this kind of problem (not-so-nice transition between files) when playing out a movie made up of several .VOB files inserted into a single playlist. The following command (on Linux with vlc0.9.2) seemed to solve the problem : => vlc /path/file1.vob --input-list "/path/file2....

Hello, My previous post didn't get much attention. Anyway, ... My initial purpose was to write a C++ program in order to watch TV (DVB-T) on a Linux PC. One of the key function was to be able to toggle recording any incoming TS feed at will. VLC already did most of the work since there is the "...

Hello, I have been rewriting a C++ program I made that integrated the libvlc API so that I can use it with the latest VLC0.9.1 release. Everything is ok except for two things: 1- snapshot When using libvlc_video_take_snapshot, I keep getting an empty file (file is created with size = 0) 2- record I ...
