Yes Before running VLC we run netstat to see which ports are in use. Since 5003 isn't in use we try udp://@:5003 but it gives us the error that it can't open the port. When VLC is running and we have tried to open the port netstat still doesn't show the ports in use. ed udp://@:5003 is one of the po...

From time to time VLC is unable to open a specific UDP port to play a stream. Windows 7 or XP. VLC errors and logs it can't open the port. udp://@:5003 is one of the ports for example using netstat the ports are not in use. firewall is disabled. using wireshark we can see the stream coming across th...

Just noticed this change myself. Any responses yet??

Thanks!!

Done: #3668

Just downloaded 1.0.0 to check and discovered that 1.0.0 doesn't play the subtitles. So maybe the above was put in as a fix but for HD isn't placing/sizing them properly.

Thanks,

Subtitles for HD video is not 'sized' correctly in version 1 and above. They were sized correctly in 9.9 and below. I've tested with 1.1.0/1.2.0 and run into the same issue.

Sample video is at: http://www.jester7.com/subtitles.zip

Any thoughts??

The following functions don't work with .ts files. libvlc_media_player_get_time libvlc_media_get_duration libvlc_media_player_get_length libvlc_media_player_get_fps All are returning 0 even after the media has been playing for some time. Problem exists with 9.8 on through the latest build RC of 1.1....

Do get subtitles with 1.1.0 from trunk. They aren't placed correctly. But I'm not sure if that is VLC or the video. The other player we are using places them in the right spot but that isn't saying much yet!

Thanks for checking..

1. libvlc_video_take_snapshot throws an access violation. Noticed this in the video.c code: /* GetVout will raise the exception for us */ p_vout = GetVout( p_mi, p_e ); Not sure it has anything to do with the exception though. 2. Subtitles are displayed however are at the wrong offsets. MANY THANKS!...

Which build did you try it with? I've tried it with the builds from the 7th & 8th but they didn't show.

I'm on XP and WIn7....

Thanks!

Thanks for your help!!

As of 1.0.0 our subtitles are no longer available. On 1.0.0 and above there is a 'subtitles track -> DVB subtitles' option however it doesn't display our subtitles. Up to version 9.9 the menu option is subtitles track -> track-1 [English] and would display subtitles. Anyone know what happened & ...

Checked on the current release 1.0.2 and noticed the issue has still not been fixed.

Even setting default export within VLC to .jpg it still exports .png files. When using through libvlc.dll the exports are always PNG files... regardless of that you name them.

Having to roll back to 0.9.9a. What I've determined is that there is a conflict between some libs I'm using for processing PNGs and VLC 1.0.1. VLC 1.0.1 takes snapshots and exports them as PNG even if I request jpg or bmp. ( http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=64029&p=214392#p214...

There is an option called --snapshot-format={png,jpg} Video snapshot format Image format which will be used to store the video snapshots http://wiki.videolan.org/VLC_command-line_help Even with that option set the resulting image is a PNG. To add insult to injury now I need some code to process the...

Yes.. still have the same issue. Is there a list of the absolute required plugins to get VLC up and running without an exception? Maybe I could build on that??

Thanks!

ed

This is odd and maybe there is a simple explanation!! I've build a player using libvlc.dll using C++. Running the player from the hard drive generally doesn't have major issues. However running from a small thumbdrive or DVD (with plugins on the thumbdrive/DVD) results in an access violation right a...

You have changed VLC settings? Tools -> Preferences... and Video and Format selection?

I'm using vlc in from libvlc.dll, ignoring config.

Previous versions detected the file type from the extension. "snapshot.bmp" was a bitmap and "snapshot.jpg" was a jpg. 1.0.1 is exporting PNG files for both of those requests.

Not like making it easy!!

I'm sure there are several items that would be exposed if input_thread_t and SetVoid were exposed however in order to use libvlc.dll and step frame by frame these need to be exposed. input_thread_t *p_input = THEMIM->getInput(); if( p_input ) var_SetVoid( p_input, "frame-next" ); Thanks, ed

That I can tell there is no access to input_thread_t exposed in libvlc.dll. ( Kinda hoping I'm wrong here!! )

Nor var_SetVoid..

I've written a wrapper for libvlc.dll and have been able to implement nearly all of the functionality we need however frame by frame isn't in the API. I think in the QT code it appears: input_thread_t *p_input = THEMIM->getInput(); if( p_input ) var_SetVoid( p_input, "frame-next" ); Will t...

I just wrote a simple 100% native player using one of the tutorials in the wiki and even that one crashes after the first frame. Can anyone confirm that libvlc is actually working right now? I'm using Windows 7 64bit, but I also tried this in a virtual machine with Windows XP 32 with the same resul...
