libvlc_video_get_aspect_ratio returns only aspect-ratio if previously set by user or libvlc_video_set_aspect_ratio libvlc_video_get_size returns width/height without considering aspect-ratio flags in the stream. Example - for typical SD MPEG-TS stream result is 720x576, even if it actualy is displa...

I'm not sure how to report this. I ran a test and have very strange result. So the problem appears in vlc-3.0.0-20161130-0248-git-win32 and is present till today, last working version is vlc-3.0.0-20161128-0239-git-win32. The source of the problem is plugins\videoutput\libgl_plugin.dll. If I delete ...

Hey! Are there any changes about how drawable/libvlc_media_player_set_hwnd works on Windows (x86) in vlc 3.0 ? I have a simple test application - only one window and nothing else. It looks bad, video in not resized with window and is in wrong position. With VLC 1.1-2.2.x same EXE works ok. The diffe...

Windows 10 since Anniversary Update (1607) has service "CDPSvc" (inside svchost.exe), that uses UDP-port 5050 (0.0.0.0:5050). As it turns out this port is commonly used in multicast streaming of many providers. So to play udp://@x.x.x.x:5050 or rtp://@x.x.x.x:5050 you need to disable that ...

I'm not using any wrapper, just direct calls to dll functions. So the bug is delphi itself.

My solution is:It must be the same that celeburdi recomended.

[SOLVED]

But still there in an unsafe floating point operation somewhere in libdirectsound...

BTW when using libvlc with HLS streams function libvlc_media_player_stop hangs for up to 5 seconds. Even when I call libvlc_media_player_stop from a separate thread(!) all windows and i/o processes of my application hang. Other functions work normal. If it doesn't affect linux this must be something...

Problem with DirectSound is still present in VLC 2.2

Here I have a HLS stream http://46.61.196.50/hls/CH_1TV/variant.m3u8 #EXTM3U #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=480000 bw480000/playlist.m3u8?utcstart=1400761658.3451471 #EXT-X-I-FRAME-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=480000,URI="bw480000/iframes.m3u8?utcstart=1400761658.3451471" #E...

Sorry, I don't have enough knowledge of C/C++ and VLC architecture to understand massive changes in directx.c between those two dates.
I understood that type of volume level variable was changed, but that led to many other changes, and I can't debug VLC code from delphi to get exact crash line.

There is no crash with "aout=waveout", so the problem in only with directsound. I went through binaries from nightlies.videolan.org and that's what I've found: vlc-2.1.0-git-20130204-0002-win32 - works ok like old 2.0.x vlc-2.1.0-git-20130211-0003-win32 - crashes like 2.1.0 release I've re...

Exception is from only one libvlc function - libvlc_audio_set_volume (calls aout_VolumeSet from libvlccore). Discusion is here.

Here is my code. No wrappers, just direct calls. It can be easy rewritten to any language: program Test; function AllocConsole:LongBool; stdcall; external 'kernel32.dll'; function libvlc_new(argc:integer; args:ppchar):pointer; cdecl; external 'libvlc.dll'; function libvlc_media_new_path(vlc: pointer...

MSVC or QT ? I tested a C# .NET 3.5 wrapper in MSVC and it crashes with the same floating point error. But my friend compiled demo QtVLC by QT-Creator and it worked without errors. The thing is call to function is exactly the same everywhere... BTW function libvlc_audio_set_volume always returns 0 i...

I'm doing exactly the same as you. libvlc_audio_set_volume : function(p_media_player : Plibvlc_media_player_t; volume : Integer) : Integer; cdecl; All worked on 1.1.x and 2.0.x, but with 2.1.0 I get floating point error from module libvlccore.dll when calling libvlc_audio_set_volume with any value >...

I get floating point error from libvlccore when using libvlc_audio_set_volume while playback, no crash if playback is stopped. On 2.0.x there is no problem. Tested on Win8x86 and Win7x64.

Maybe parameters changed and somebody forgot to update documentation?

I got it, now PIDs must be used, not simple 0-1-2-3 numbers. But guys, simple numbers were used since 0.8.6(!!!) don't you think that it's a bit strange to change one of basic function behavior especialy in minor update? All the people who use libvlc now must add a switch in their code for VLC<2.0.5...

Can you give me a link to description of that bug?
I just don't understand how can I possibly change my code for this function to work again. Did input arguments changed of what? Or this function now can't be used during playback?

Nope, for me audio track functions worked in 2.0-2.0.4 and don't work in 2.0.5 and 2.0.6.
I tested with the same binary without recompiling.
BTW I'm using Windows with DirectSound audio output, maybe you fixed something for Linux and broke for Windows?

Subj. Or did something change in libvlc API after 2.0.4 ? (worked in 2.0.4, not work in 2.0.5 and 2.0.6)

Worked perfectly 2.0.0-2.0.4, 2.0.5 - not. Did API changed or what ?

As I mentioned above it doesn't work even in Windows 7. It doesn't work at all! When you do IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP you anyway use McastReq structure that contains inet_addr. Why not simply check if miface matches "*.*.*.*" and set inet_addr('what is miface set to') ? /src/network/udp.c : case A...

"miface" parameter in VLC 2.0 on Windows seems to be broken . So, before playing udp://@ through libvlc you need to create udp socket on correct network interface yourself. Bind it, add membership to mcast group and then make libvlc play. While playback you do nothing with socket. After st...

It's funny but miface gives no result even on Windows 7: vlc.exe --miface=192.168.0.10 udp://@239.1.15.1:1234 <- nothing vlc.exe --miface=0 udp... <- nothing (I used number if function "atoi" still used) vlc.exe --miface=1 udp... <- nothing vlc.exe --miface=2 udp... <- nothing vlc.exe --mi...

Sorry for stupid question, but $new=$old^3 or $new=exp(ln($old)/3) (where $new and $old 0.01..1.00)?
