I'm not quite sure if this is what you're asking, but if you want to use vlcj to display your video inside an HTML page, then you need to consider an applet or Java WebStart application. You have to package your applet with all the dependencies, sign the package using a certificate, and deploy it to...

OK, something changed with regards to URL handling but I don't recall which version of vlc/vlcj. At least one fix was made for URL handling in vlcj so you really should upgrade to the latest version, which right now is 2.4.1. If that still doesn't work, then you should post the logs - so what you do...

I can't say why dshow:// is not working for you, but your code has other problems IMHO. You need to keep a hard-reference to the MediaPlayerFactory and the MediaPlayer instances (e.g. class variables) otherwise they become eligible for garbage collection when your constructor exits - if you don't th...

1. Which version of vlcj are you using?
2. Start your JVM with -Dvlcj.log=DEBUG and find that part starting with "setMedia(media=" and post what follows.

If you cloned from git, then vlc.h is here: If you want to use libvlc you will also find:

I think that ":sout-keep" should be a separate string in the array.

Hello, I want to extract GPS data that is encoded inside a Text track inside an MP4. I would like to be able to get at that data in real-time as the video is played, so I can display it, chart it or whatever. As an aside, I can view the encoded data using the vlc application by enabling the subtitle...

If you use vmem, it is a known bug waiting for someone who cares to patch it. With Qt, you really should use native embedded windows though. I'm just embedding a regular window with libvlc_media_player_set_xwindow(wid). The vlc application itself, when built from the latest 2.2.0 git, shows the sam...

Hello, I noticed with my embedded media players that the current vlc-2.2.0-git shows green borders on some videos. On a DVD ISO I see a single line of green pixels on the right hand side of the video. With an MP4 I see about 30 lines of dark green and 30 lines of light green pixels on the bottom edg...

Did you try libvlc_media_new_location() ?

Depends on the aout. From what I have seen, there is simply no way through libvlc to successfully set/get the volume for a media player before an aout has been created (which is some indterminant time after you play the media). It will always return an error (this is clear from the libvlc media pla...

I am building a simple video editor with functions : merge 2 video file, cut videos, insert a video into another video, extract audio from video. Does VLCJ support to make a video editor ? Can you recommend me a direction about my problem ? Well, you can do some of those things with vlcj with vario...

Can you explain to me terms "Track", "Title", "Chapter", "Track Info", "Track Description". Well superficially a Track refers to an audio/video/spu track contained in the media. Chapter and Title refer at least to DVD media (a single DVD can have ma...

Sherington, have you found a workaround for this ?

No.

Did you add your new function to libvlc.sym?

Do you happen to know how to understand what is the URL type (file or stream) using VLC functions?

In my own libvlc bindings, I simply check if my input string "looks like" a URL or not (don't need a VLC function for that), and then call the appropriate VLC function to play it.

I think you're supposed to use libvlc_media_new_location() for URL's.

Ok, thanks, I'll see if I can work it out. On your other point about enabling filters generically, do you just mean something like mp->libvlc_media_player_enable_audio_filter(filtername), and this would work before media was playing, and then other methods to set the various specific filter values? ...

I am trying to resurrect my libvlc equalizer patch from last year. With that old version of the patch I realise now that my main troubles were due to finding a reliable way to enable the equalizer audio filter at the right time, and especially to make sure it was enabled when an aout was created (th...

Works great now, thanks.

I have been using the audio callbacks and encountered a crash. It is repeatable 100% of the time for me. In amem.c: static void Stop (audio_output_t *aout) { aout_sys_t *sys = aout->sys; if (sys->cleanup != NULL) sys->cleanup (sys->opaque); <--- crash here sys->ready = false; } In the failing case, ...

Can't you just do set-title on the menu title?

Tracks are the list of channels. Not "titles"

So these should work for the OP use case...

Did you call libvlc_media_subitems *after* you received the "finished" event from the media player? I know this works, I have a test-case specifically for it, here's a fragment of the vlc log on a test I just ran: [0x7fe568119148] main input debug: Creating an input for 'http://www.youtube...

I'm not sure if this it's exactly what you're asking for, but there is a "media player buffering" event.

The crash is some other problem of course.
