If I'm not able to use the mediacontrol interface
now I know how to backup with the telnet solution

Hi, I tried to look for this topic and I couldn't get a concrete answer. I hope to collect some information in this thread. I'm trying to compile the python bindings (vlc 0.9.9) for windows using the mingw32 compiler (under linux) following the simple instructions in http://wiki.videolan.org/Python_...

I'm sorry, I don't know this wrapper...
I tried to download Marx_libvlc_wrapper and look for mediacontrol/display_text
support but I couldn't find anything. I think this framework doesn't offer
anything like that. Did you had any luck with the telnet solution?

Actually mediacontrol_display_text() should be part of libvlc since you can include it from vlc/mediacontrol.h. depending on what you mean from "outside", you can use the display_text function from the python bindings, java bindings (I guess), or from other interfaces like the rc interface...

yes, I could display some text with the mediacontrol_display_text()... the problem is that I got some conflict with the deprecated playlist module. so if you use the mediacontrol use only that and no playlist. the other problem I got is that I wanted to display some 'buffering 10%' message, but I ca...

Hi Ericaro! can you (or anyone else) share how managed to compiled the python bindings? I followed the tuto but got stucked with errors... apparently the --compiler=mingw32 is ignored (damn cross-compilation :x )... the vlc.pyd under pyvlc.googlecode.com repo is good also for the newest vlc 0.9.9?? ...

Hi, I'm trying to do more or less the same... (hardcoding the plugin itself) I tried using osd_Message but there's some lack of documentation and I couldn't figure out how to use it correctly. The same for the subpicture unit... I could succeed using the mediacontrol_display_text, but it goes in con...

ok... it seems to be "mediacontrol_display_text()"

Hi, I'm developing a browser plugin based on vlc. I would like to add some text overlay like: "Buffering: 10%"... I know it's possible to start vlc with --marq-marqee options, or do the same through a remote control interface... but what if I want to do it from the code of the plug-in? Whi...

I had the same problem... apparently replacing in the libtool file the line: ECHO="echo" with: echo="echo" solves the "X" problem... unfortunately I have other problems during compilation later on... I can't guarantee that it's cause of the change in the libtool file, s...

Thanks!
after disabling dts I had to recompile ffmpeg with postprocess eneabled and finally compiled!
I think the configure script has to be performed a bit (at least for cross-compilation).
Anyway... thanks for the help... Vlc is a good and flexible media player!

Hi, it's days I try to compile Vlc for windows: I get every possible error! here is the last one: method: cross-compiling under linux compiler: mingw 3.4.5 vlc: 0.8.6h contrib: contrib-20070530-win32-bin-gcc-3.4.5-only configuration: ./bootstrap && \ PATH=/usr/win32/bin:$PATH \ PKG_CONFIG_LI...
