The VideoLAN Forums

Essentially, you first "play" the device to get a list of tracks created as sub-items (nothing actually gets played here). This creates for you a libvlc_media_t instance for each sub-item, which you can get from the media player instance and play. Please see https://forum.videolan.org/view...

For this sort of thing, in all honesty i would consider using something other than libvlc/VLCJ. I do this in my own VLCJ applications by using the "MediaInfo" package. You can launch it from Java (e.g. using commons-exec), or use a Java binding. http://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo If you dow...

Surely there is some way to overcome this without having to release/reload the media player object.

Not ideal, but you can do libvlc_media_player_stop() then libvlc_media_player_play() without releasing the media player object.

It was not always this way.

I would add the functionality to vlc and expose it via LibVLC if I knew how, but I'm afraid I don't. That's why I was interested in your question.

Well you posted in the LibVLC forum, so presumably you are asking about LibVLC in particular rather than VLC itself... Do you want to be notified of a particular subtitle and when it should be displayed, so you can have your own app display it on your projector? I'm interested in doing something sim...

I already told you one way in my previous post. Set the media player aspect ratio to that of your 'container'. That might work well enough for you if you have a full-screen application, but if you are going to allow your users to resize the window however they like then there's nothing you can do th...

So I wrote a quick full-screen media player test that basically played the first five seconds of each file in a particular directory, the files having various different video dimensions... As expected the video scales up to the screen resolution 1920x1200, preserving the aspect ratio of each video f...

I still don't quite understand what your issue is. From the code you posted you appear to be setting your video surface size to match the size of some other component, not the size of the video itself, is that right? Well, when your video is being rendered into the available video surface it will us...

The code you posted does this: videoSurfaceCanvas.setSize(newSize().width, newSize().height); But you didn't show what newSize() does, or you removed it when you edited your post. You are using that method to size your Canvas, so the bug is likely in that method, or you are calling it at the wrong t...

As far as I know, LibVLC provides no way to get anything like that other than via the meta-data functions. You can scour the Doxygen documentation - or indeed the source code - to see if there's another way, but I don't think you'll find anything.

Well, ID3 tags work through libvlc for me so I have no idea what could be wrong.

Did you try parsing the media first?

There's too much code here to review, do you have a *minimal* test case that demonstrates the problem?

Hi.

I am really interested in seeing if the audio fingerprinting functionality could be exposed by LibVLC.

However, I can't see how the fingerprinting is actually enabled/triggered. Even in VLC itself (the latest git) I can't see it.

Does anyone have any clues for this?

Doesn't your constructor reference mp when it is null?

You don't assign mp until you call loadTrack...

Those command-line switches are not officially supported for such use, you are supposed to use API functions instead (if available). This function was recently added to libvlc: libvlc_media_player_set_video_title_display A side-effect of adding that function was that when using LibVLC the title is n...

The X windowing system is not available on Windows of course...

I'm not sure if I have done this the right way, but this is what I did... - Create a new "text_renderer" module to send the SPU text via a callback, the callback accepts the subtitle text and an opaque pointer (in keeping with how vmem and amem are implemented). - Add new API to libvlc to ...

Not ideal, but the marquee API works for me if I pass "--sub-filter=marq" when I create a libvlc instance with libvlc_new(...).

You have to add your own buttons using your own window/widget toolkit.

Hmmm... I just tested your playlist URL. It seems to not work in this case like I suggested it works in general for playlists. Sorry for the distraction.

I can't speak to the detail of how your adaptive streaming works, I have no idea, what I'm telling you is what happens generally when you "play" a playlist, to try and give you a pointer. Each item in the playlist is an opaque libvlc_media_t, and libvlc provides functions, as per the docum...

Generally speaking, when you play a play-list file vlc will parse it to create sub-items (one sub-item for each corresponding item in the playlist) and fire a "finished" event. libvlc then provides functions to get the sub-items, but you must wait until you get the finished event. You can ...

I do not profess to fully understand run-time linking on Linux, and I don't have a satisfactory answer for you, but I can tell you what I've seen... When I build vlc on Linux, the shared library path gets "baked in" to the shared objects, leading to what you've seen where you can't just co...

Your question is unclear to me. Do you want to use vlcj to play the video inside a web page (if so I already answered your other question in this forum), or do you want to use vlcj on your web server to set up a network stream and deliver that to some other client application? Or something else? I'v...
