I don't know about the python bindings specifically, but that m3u is indeed a playlist and will work in the way I described in my earlier post. So... you basically need to "play" the playlist URL, wait for the "finished" event from the media player, then iterate the new media sub...

You don't give an example of the web radio URL that is not working for you so it's hard to say... but maybe the URL you have is not the stream itself and is instead a playlist like this: http://dir.xiph.org/listen/561/listen.m3u If this is the case, then when you play that URL vlc will actually pars...

Hello, I am curious to know if there are any MacOSX developers here who use libvlc in their own applications, and in particular if they have any success using libvlc_media_player_set_nsobject(). I have seen this function working intermittently over the years, the current best information I have is t...

This is really a quick question, but since the playMedia function requires a mrl String for the location of the mediafile, is it possible to replay a file if it is embedded inside a jar file as a resource? or even as a netbeans module resource? I have tried several combinations to replay a media fi...

Can you post me some code example here?

I don't do python I'm afraid.

I use the libvlc media list player without any such "bugs" being apparent.

My main technique is for the event handler to signal another thread. That other thread can then invoke libvlc without deadlocking.

You can't call back into libvlc from a libvlc event handler.

libvlc_media_new_location(_vlc, "http://cds.mytvandmovies.com/test/top_gear.mp4") However, neither of the libvlc_media_new_ functions results in the video being played. That works just fine for me, both the link and the API call. What I can see is different between your post and what I do...

If you're asking about the underlying issue here, rather than how to enable core dumps... There is some particular problem with Java7+vlc+32bit-Ubuntu+LUA. When I last looked into this problem I only found workarounds not the actual root cause of the problem or any fixes: 1. Use Java6 rather than Ja...

This works just fine now, thanks for your fix.

Hello, I have been looking at track ids, track descriptions and the various get/set methods for audio/video and spu tracks. I spotted this fix from last year: commit 2c5ee1707b1962ee3f47dbe4abb7c199aeccc022 Author: Rémi Denis-Courmont <remi@remlab.net> Date: Thu Nov 8 22:39:35 2012 +0200 lib: correc...

This is a bug in your JVM, probably deep inside the linker script used to build it. See also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... bug/810214 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... ug/1071593 for other programs affected by the same issue.

Thanks for those links.

If you can upgrade to a newer version of vlcj, this example shows how much easier it now is to create a media list player:

Please format your posted code with the right "code" tags so it's easier to read! Anyway... The libvlc_media_player_set_hwnd() call is encapsulated for you inside the media player implementation, so really you should forget about that. You seem to be using vlc 1.1.11 and an old version of ...

Does libvlc provide a method to tell if the currently playing item is/contains a DVD menu or is simply a video? I'm definitely not an expert at how DVDs work under the hood so my fear is that menus are actually abstracted from the video in some manner so I won't be able to tell which is which. I'm ...

The example in the link you posted is for an RTSP server, not client. I'm assuming you want your *client* to save the stream. Here is an example that transcodes and saves an RTSP stream to a file (I used vlc itself to serve the RTSP stream): public class SaveStream { public static void main(String[]...

Okay, so I was able to get the arguments working by passing them into the media player factory when I initialize it: mediaPlayerFactory = new MediaPlayerFactory("--video-filter=transform", "--transform-type=vflip"); However, I've noticed that any transformation arguments that I ...

The vlcj method you refer to simply invokes the native libvlc_media_add_option function to pass the supplied options, unmolested, to vlc: http://www.videolan.org/developers/vlc/doc/doxygen/html/group__libvlc__media.html#ga4fd62e110ac1a94fec38a05a29d4c334 The options are detailed in vlc --long-help, ...

They're all there on the vlc-devel mailing list, along with a lot of review comments. There's a long thread with a few different approaches, but alas not a correct approach.

There's a patch on the mailing list from a few months back. It works for my own use-cases quite nicely, but the patch is not entirely correct (see review comments in the mailing list thread) and was therefore rightly not accepted. I won't be revisiting it.

It was committed prematurely.

The patch was not acceptable.

I don't have the time to spend or inclination to get it over the finishing line.

It was subsequently rightly reverted.

This was indeed a bug (well, it had been working for four years previously!) in vlcj exposed by a recent change to vlc. It should be fixed in the latest vlcj snapshot version.

Internally, there is an event to report the volume status, but there is indeed no code to pass it to the application. I have seen aout_VolumeReport(), which sets the "volume" variable on the aout - is this what you are referring to here? First I was thinking to add a variable callback to ...

Can you successfully deploy and run a simple hello world applet/webstart on your Mac browser?
