The VideoLAN Forums

excuse me... can you tell me precisely how can I use libvlc directly?
I took your source but there was nothing about libvlc.dll

Of course there is, look for DllImport("libvlc") in VideoLan.Interop/InteropMethods.cs.
All libvlc functions/structures/enums are declared in this file.

a workaround for this is to crop the surface in which vlc renders in your app, if it's possible in your case :p

it's because you can't add libvlc.dll or libvlccore.dll in your project. Just use it directly, see libvlcnet or my code for that.

simple: you can't with libvlc.

libvlcnet: google a little, and you'll find this : http://sourceforge.net/projects/libvlcnet/
my sources : there is a snapshot link above the file list.

you can try the wrapper libvlcnet, or take a look at my source here ,and especially the videolan.interop part (it's a vlc wrapper lib, based on kairos one, but modified for my needs).

C'est fort possible, cela ne m'étonnerai pas que les dernières versions utilisent les instructions des processeurs plus récents. fucomi, cmove et cmovl sont des instructions x87 de pentium pro apparemment, sans doutes non géré par les amd K6.

a "wrapper" is a thin layer of code which translates an existing interface (libvlc's functions in our case) into a more usable interface.

ok....what about this error?
'canz.Length' threw an exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException

i d'ont know abtout the activex usage, i use libvlc directly, (i use my own wrapper, something like libvlcnet).

That's normal, axvlc is an activex (or a com object), which give access to libvlc features. So you don't need to reference libvlc* in your project.

Look at the libvlc APIs, it only allow basic c string (char*), so how may I add unicode file name to my player?

Yes. Just as Rémi said, it's UTF8, so special characters are just encoded on several chars, just send several chars for those, VLC will recognize them.

yes it does.

This code just plays the media "http://mycool.movie.com/test.mov", but only for 10s (or 10ms, don't remember, see "sleep(10)"), and then quit.

replace the url with a valid url or a file path, and increase the sleep delay to see/hear something.

looks like you are missing the plugins folder from vlc

Then subscribe to statechanged event from vlc and hit play on the Ended event

libvlc_callback_t is just the name of the callback (VlcEventHandlerDelegate in your code).

the diff is the first parameter.

i can see 2 diff between your code and my wrapper : - i don't use Marshal.GetFunctionPointerForDelegate, i use the delegate directly - my callback is not the same : internal delegate void libvlc_callback_t(ref VlcEvent Event, IntPtr UserData) where VlcEvent is a structure which match exactly libvlc_...

What is your issue exactly ? What did you try ?

you don't need to use libvlc_event* directly, the wrapper in your link as everything you need.
Just subscribe to VlcMediaPlayer.PositionChanged in your code.

of course it's possible, take a look here : http://wiki.videolan.org/Developers_Corner

j-b, do you have an idea where the issue (the visual effect module which stays across media) might be located in the code ? modules/visualisation/goom.c I was talking about a more general issue, which affects both goom and visual effects. the core seems to load the "audio-visual" option, ...

That's weird, it's working perfectly in fritivi. Maybe it has something to do with the input stream ? can you test your media in fritivi, see whether it's working or not ? i never had any PInvokeStackImbalance error, i'm on visual 2008 with .Net 3.5, and PInvokeStackImbalance is disabled by default ...

I tweaked my program to test this. - i added a new panel (a smaller one on top of the other one). - the play button already did something like "setsurface(hwnd1); play()", i use the pause button to do the same on the second surface "setsurface(hwnd2); play()" - i already have a w...

Ah yes, i forgot, the getVideoTrack is buggy, it returns the index of the track (starting at 1) instead of the id, and -1 if it's disabled. but setVideoTrack need the id of the track, which can be any number > 0. So you need to use libvlc_video_get_track_description to get the track list with there ...

eheh, you are welcome (cocorico :mrgreen: ) i think vlc options are ok, as they are copied from my code in fritivi, which is able to play a stream and record it to a file in the same time. If i understand correctly, the created file is ok, it contains audio and video, but you want also the stream to...
