There is no API in LibVLC to extract any timecode data.

Your problems with LibVLC will probably be over when 2.2.0 final is released, right now you're working with a pre-release version. I can't provide you with any link, especially not for Windows, I build vlc from vlc-git and vlc-2.2-git on Linux regularly and I use that. I do know that [KU]buntu 14.10...

I've been looking at this again with 2.2.0-git. What I observe happening now (Linux, using Pulse Audio, I can't speak for other platforms) is that it *is* now possible to get/set the volume on a media player *before* playback begins. But if you invoke libvlc_media_player_stop, then from that point o...

Yes, this was fixed in 2.2.0 and 3.0.0

It is fixed in 2.2.0, I tested at f966a0f.

It does not work in 3.0.0, I tested at 87ed7b3, but it's very early days for 3.0.0 of course.

Yep, my mistake, I got it working with fontconfig too but that's neither here nor there!

So I got a working vlc-2.2-git build at:

vlc: 2.2.0-rc2 Weatherwax, changeset 2.2.0-rc2-131-gf966a0f

I tested it just now and the equalizer works just fine.

I can no longer build vlc-2.2.0 git because of a fontconfig version conflict (0.19 vs 0.18) after I upgraded my OS, so I can't check the latest version. The version of VLC installed by my OS is: 2.2.0-pre2 Weatherwax, changeset 2.2.0-pre1-15-g5178b24 I tested that just now and the equalizer seems to...

vlc-git (presumably a future 3.0.0 version) can now send media to Chromecast. It is not available in the vlc-2.2 branch, so if you want to try it you'll probably have to build VLC yourself. I tested with MP4 and MP3 and basic playback works. Pausing and seeking doesn't really work, trying either see...

I wrote some test code when the equalizer in LibVLC was first implemented, I've copied it here: https://gist.github.com/caprica/1a6d0468675af33f7d36 The linked code contains test cases for setting equalizer before playback, during playback, having the equalizer settings persist when changing media a...

For video adjust there was a change made a while ago that meant you had to explicitly re-enable the adjustment controls whenever you changed a value, I thought that change had been reverted, but it still doesn't work for me either. https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/11750 The audio equalizer works...

Did you try --no-snapshot-preview

I can't answer your specific question, but something you can try with vlcj is to change your original code to something like this:

You don't need to ask the user, some simple pattern matching should be enough.

i.e. local files don't look like URLs like "protocol://...", so match that.

I do this, it works just fine for everything I play.

You're supposed to use libvlc_media_new_location for things that aren't actual file paths.

What about Float vs Double in vb.net, is that a thing?

Hmm... that LibVLC API function still works just fine for me with latest VLC 2.2.0-git. thanks for reply. can you share function defining and usage code please? I want to check my code for differences. Best regards. Well, I don't know what language you're using so I don't think I can help you with ...

Hmm... that LibVLC API function still works just fine for me with latest VLC 2.2.0-git.

It seems this was indeed intentional, at least according to the commit log in the referenced ticket:

https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/11750

Hello, Something changed (I don't know when it changed but I tested latest git as of time of writing) that affected how the video adjustment (Hue, Saturation, Brightness, Contrast, Gamma) functions in LibVLC work. It used to be the case that if you enabled video adjustment via libvlc_video_set_adjus...

It's basically a Java wrapper around "amem", so it works how amem works... which I don't really know to be honest.

There is no other way, at least not with vlcj, to do what you want.

Yes, but I would just reiterate if you actually want to hear something then in your play() method, after you have processed the samples with your algorithm, you actually need to send those processed samples to an API (like JavaSound).

You can use vlcj for things like this - you need to look at the so-called "direct" media player components, there's an implementation that provides access to the audio samples via the native callback. You need to be aware that you can't process those samples and then have VLC play them - y...

I don't know for sure, but maybe it's because the MediaMetaChanged event pertains to a libvlc_media_t, and not a libvlc_media_player_t - there are different event managers, i.e. libvlc_media_event_manager vs libvlc_media_player_event_manager.

You are not getting the same error, it's a different error. There was a bug in an earlier version of vlcj with that particular snapshot method (it should be fixed in the current release version). This bug was because getting a snapshot is actually asynchronous - you request the snapshot, then you wa...

In fact getSnapshot() works perfectly well in vlcj, the problem is in your own code. Did you actually try looking at the line number in the stacktrace to see where the null pointer might be? It will point directly to the cause of your problem. I can only guess because there are no line numbers that ...

There is an example in the VLC test sources: http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=blob_plain;f=test/libvlc/equalizer.c;h=e7c5ad550b6083221ee3e8a4e7cf977a71336ef4;hb=HEAD This test code shows how to get presets, get/set individual frequency values, and enable/disable the equalizer on a media player. ...
