an eclipse version is available now

yeep, i have a working example inside an eclipse project. if you explicitly need it, i can upload it to somewhere (rather big...). but the only trick in my examples (either in netbeans or eclipse) is that i put vlc's dlls to the working directory.

sorry, i don't know, i'm not a jvlc magician :) but there are too many "libvlc error"

run my example, compare the outputs maybe it helps

just download slf4j, an put slf4j api jar to the classpath

ok, so you want a customized vlc version. i can't help, i'm not a vlc compilation guru. maybe get a nightly and use it :)

hey dsgallo,

it is a common misunderstanding: if you want to compile jvlc it is not needed to cimpile vlc itself. jvlc is compilable without a vlc binary in your machine.

the *very* latest from git? sorry, i'm not tested it :) but, if you download the netbeans version, you can use the source and libs to create an eclipse project. that is simple, after that add an ant builder after build to copy the necessary native files aside to your compiled classes (just as in my ...

open source softwares develops fast, and vlc is not an exception. 2 months ago the 0.9.x line is in beta. 0.9.2 is "stable". if vlc is stable, jvlc too (remember: jvlc is only a thin layer to call native vlc) yeah, my example is "well" tested = it works with files and streams as ...

This is much older than my version. I use a fresh compiled jvlc from git, and stock 0.9.2 binary. And one more thing: my netbeans version is works with eclipse with super little modification :)

You could construct a playlist. This is not exists in my example. I don't have time now for to do this because i'm working for money ;-)

Sorry, but it's a problem with your browser, or other software. The link is working. (try this: http://rs162.rapidshare.com/files/14896 ... xample.rar)

Try another browser or switch off your download accelerator.

You can't download or what?

My example is a self-compiled jvlc (from git, nothing modified). It's works and it's stable.

I'm not a vlc developer, but in my opinion the Canvas dependency is a must, because jvlc not a rewrite of vlc, only a thin layer which is communicate with it. The magic in jvlc is exactly a native (or heavy) component, because it have a real window id. VLC put the video overlay to this window...

I don't know, if JVLC is dead or not. But who cares? You have a .dll or .so and you have JNA. If you *really* want to use VLC from Java there is a constant possibility to do it. Anyway, JVLC plays http://www.nasa.gov/55644main_NASATV_Windows.asx and http://images.apple.com/movies/fox/fantastic_4-sil...

as i promised here is a working example: http://xyber.abt.googlepages.com/workingjvlcexample enjoy ;-)

as i write, you can use the precompiled binaries

othon200, i downloaded a fresh install of vlc for windows (http://www.videolan.org/mirror-geo.php?file=vlc/0.9.2/win32/vlc-0.9.2-win32.exe) and it works with those jvlc.jar which i compiled from git source. without any dll. theres is no jvlc.dll (what is it?) maybe you are need a complete, buildable...

do you really need to build vlc? why don't you use a precompiled binary?

if you use netbeans, set:
project properties/run/working directory to "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\"
and vm options to -Djna.library.path="C:/Program Files/VideoLAN/VLC/plugins"

(in eclipse is really the same)

hey chase, jvlc's jar is plaform independent, at least works on linux and windows. if you use it, no native codec linked to your code, because jvlc is not a vlc rewrite in java, only a wrapper for the native vlc. cygwin/mingw is not required to use with jvlc. the latest jvlc is http://jvlc.ihack.it/...

you have a path problem. run it from "C:/Program Files/VideoLAN/VLC/"
