When playing YouTube, or other things like internet radio stations, you will find that playing the URL will cause sub-item(s) to be created and added to the media instance. You can access these sub-items when the you receive the "finished" media player event from libvlc. This is analagous ...

I do this:
Seems to work ok for me. I guess you can remove "logo" if you don't want that.

Can you give me a link to description of that bug? I just don't understand how can I possibly change my code for this function to work again. Did input arguments changed of what? Or this function now can't be used during playback? I think this relates: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=32&a...

Hi, I have been incorporating the new libvlc_media_tracks_get() API into my bindings. I am trying to find the most reliable instant at which to invoke this libvlc method in order to get fully populated data. If I wait for a "playing" event from the media player, I see nothing returned. If ...

Hi, I was wondering if the following methods are intended to be exposed to applications using libvlc: void libvlc_log_get_context(const libvlc_log_t *ctx, const char **module, const char **file, unsigned *line); void libvlc_log_get_object(const libvlc_log_t *ctx, const char **name, const char **head...

I don't really use C#, but when I dabbled with it a while ago I did this: IntPtr statsPointer = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(Marshal.SizeOf(libvlcMediaStats)); try { Marshal.StructureToPtr(libvlcMediaStats, statsPointer, false); LibVlc.libvlc_media_get_stats(media, statsPointer); } finally { Marshal.FreeHGl...

If I remember correctly, you allocate the libvlc_media_stats_t structure on your side, then invoke the libvlc_media_get_stats passing the pointer to your structure.

I tested libvlc_media_get_stats in my own bindings with vlc 2.0.6 and it worked just fine.

"The last two options will require some native development as libvlc does not support such operations at the moment." Do you think future versions of VLCJ will support these features? This is something a primary requirement that VLCJ Plugins should be dynamically available. I don't see ho...

I expect your prompt reply as I am in big trouble.

I'll get right on it, hold on...

You picked the right media player, but you still need to disable the video output as is explained already in the Javadoc for that class.

You seem to duplicate the output to a file and "display" - well, I think that means it will open a window to display it... Your headless player is headless in name only, it will still open a window if it needs one, unless you disable the video output explicitly. This is explained already i...

I have already tried adding the option '--no-video-title-show' to the libvlc instance and the the media, but it doesn't change a thing. What am I am missing out on?

"--no-video-title-show" definitely works for me. I use it all the time and pass it when I create the libvlc instance.

As far as I know, you simply can't enable/disable recording on-the-fly. It has to be setup when you play the media.

I'm just wondering if it worthy to put some effort for native Windows event hook implementation. The hook implementation is already there for you in the WindowsCanvas. Last time I tested it, it worked for me. Out of interest, what is your use-case for needing those mouse events? You might be able t...

My application is expected to run in Windows. Does this not at all possible in Windows?What's the reason? Bz of Canvas implementation in windows? Or is the thr problem with VLCJ APIs. Why we still use Canvas instead of JPanel. Can't we change implementation? Of course vlcj+libvlc works in Windows. ...

You can't just directly translate your command line to a single media option, some changes are needed. Your media option should look something like this (this is a *general* example, but it shows you the necessary formatting for something that works): :sout=#transcode{acodec=mp3,channels=2,ab=192,sa...

You are not providing quite enough information to help you. Presumably you are using Windows - this works just fine on Linux but it is simply not possible to get those events on Windows - unless you use the custom WindowsCanvas implementation. This is a pretty bad solution since it involves installi...

Would not EmbeddedMediaPlayerComponent support layouts other than BorderLayout. Of course it would. Your constraints are probably wrong, but since you didn't post your code, it's impossible to say. GridBag sucks. I always prefer nested BorderLayout, with BoxLayout as needed. Anyway here's your two-...

When you change the size you have to "revalidate" the layout of the parent component - the easiest way to do that is to pack your frame. The TestPlayer example in vlcj does exactly this.

I have been looking into a similar problem that affects my own libvlc bindings on MacOSX. I have been told by some of my users that reverting to vlc 2.0.3 works just fine, but any other version does not, including 2.1.0-git. This is clearly at odds with the original poster who states that vlc 2.0.3 ...

Well what have you tried so far? There are *many* examples provided with vlcj, and quite decent Javadoc explaining these things aleady.

Waiting for your answer...

You could also do this... not ideal but it works... Note the use of the "!" - it is required.

I told you in principle how to do it using libvlc. I don't know python. If I "play" your m3u URL, I get this single sub-item created on the media instance: http://mp3.live.tv-radio.com/fip/all/fiphautdebit.mp3 I then play that and it works. If I "play" your other asx URL, I get t...
