I changed my address, validated it, and now I get the following :

But I'm still unable to edit articles :

Hi all,

I'd like to improve the "smem tutorial" on the wiki but I don't have permissions to edit the wiki. My account belongs to the group Users and it should belong to the group Autoconfirmed users.
How can I fix this ?

Thanks !

I'm using smem with libvlc 2.0.3 and it works pretty well (I'm just using the audio).
I'll improve the wiki to show how you can make it work.
If you want, just post the code of your callbacks, so that I can help you to debug it.

spider58, would you be able to write a small code which reproduces the bug ?

I have the same problem in my project. But the following code works as expected : #include <iostream> #include <vlc/vlc.h> #include <cstdlib> #include <unistd.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { libvlc_instance_t *vlcInstance; libvlc_media_player_t *mp; libvlc_media_t *media; vlcInstance = libvlc_n...

It seems nice, exactly what I needed a few months ago.
I'll check this and report.

What would you use in this case ? GDB ?

Could you describe your problem more accurately ? Do you get errors at compile or run time ?

Ok, thanks for your help .

I didn't think that the type of the pointer could be the problem. But now if i add this cast (void*), it doesn't work better.

The first two snippets you gave run well here (actually, the addresses aren't displayed correctly, but there's no segfault at all).

Here is the code used by VLMC : void VideoClipWorkflow::lock( VideoClipWorkflow *cw, void **pp_ret, int size ) { Q_UNUSED( size ); LightVideoFrame* lvf = NULL; cw->m_renderLock->lock(); if ( cw->m_availableBuffers.isEmpty() == true ) { lvf = new LightVideoFrame( cw->m_width, cw->m_height ); } else l...

*pp_pcm_buffer should have the same value as p_pcm_buffer in the SendAudio function, since pp_pcm_buffer has been initialized with &p_pcm_buffer. So I should be able to read it. If I write this code, everything works : uint16_t *test; uint16_t **pp = &test; cout << pp << endl; cout << *pp <<...

Yesterday evening on #videolan I talked about a segfault I get with the smem module. The normal behaviour should be : 1. The prerender callback allocates a buffer with the right size 2. Smem uses memcpy to fill the buffer 3. The postrender callback uses the buffer (and deletes it, if needed) My code...

Seems nice :) On linux, is there a way to get rid of this compile error : /usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libavformat.a(allformats.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `aac_demuxer' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC I downloaded the latest ffmpeg (and also libav*) sources a...

No answer ? It seems that this module has been implemented a long time ago, despite some recent improvements on it. There's no documentation at all about this. Maybe I should send a message to the author(s) of this module, and they would help me to understand its behaviour, so I could write down som...

So maybe the header of smem.c should be updated : /***************************************************************************** * How to use it ***************************************************************************** * * You should use this module in combination with the transcode module, to g...
