I'm using libvlc_media_get_meta() to get it from mp3 files. Did you try that already?

...also...

I couldn't find the details for "audio-filter=gain". Are you sure this is a media option and not an instance option?

According to this link: http://www.videolan.org/developers/vlc/doc/doxygen/html/group__libvlc__media.html#gae1d3baee3f4610c6fe5818defcad3e6f ..."We recommend using libvlc_media_new_path() instead when dealing with local files." I don't know if that will make any difference for your problem...

You are not answering the question; I can't help you.

Hmmm...The answer is yes. I am using the defaults for both.
I was trying to be more specific, in case I missed something. That's why I mentioned HOW I believe I'm using defaults.

Thanks for time.

Repeating myself but did you use default settings in both tests? Sorry about the lack of clarity. I downloaded the VLC 2.2.4 again and used it without changing (or even seeing) any settings. I am not using any arguments in the call to libvlc_new() and I'm not using any calls to libvlc_media_add_opt...

I downloaded VLC 2.2.4 (not the install version). I ran it as is and the x.265 video played fine. This time, I checked CPU usage. It was between 45%-52% for the 10 seconds I let the video play. When running the libvlc program, the video stutters and blocks right away and CPU usage is only 22%-28%. I...

Well then, are you sure you did not change the VLC preferences? LibVLC should play pretty much like VLC with default settings.

Well, I'm pretty sure.

I will download VLC again tonight and try with a fresh version.

Thanks.

Try to comment out the set_hwnd() call and see if it fixes performance problems then. Maybe your window handle is incompatible with some optimizations. I commented out the set_hwnd call. A new window is created but the playback chokes exactly as before. Is there anything in the VLC default preferen...

Try to comment out the set_hwnd() call and see if it fixes performance problems then. Maybe your window handle is incompatible with some optimizations.

Thanks again. I will try this tonight and post back.

Are you configuring the video output in any way, or do you let LibVLC create its own independent video window?

I use "libvlc_media_player_set_hwnd()" to direct the output to "my window".
I don't 'process' the output in any way.


Thanks for your time.

I'm wondering if anyone has had this problem with x.265 video:

The file plays fine with VLC (2.2.4) with default preferences. However, I get stuttering and gray blocks with libvlc (2.2.4).
I'm not using any arguments when creating the instance.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks.

Thank you. I thought size_t was a C standard. However, I'd never used ssize_t. Is it also a C (or C++) standard? Do you know where it is defined? I changed the function to return int, for now. I'm just wondering if I'm missing a definition file or if the nightly for 3.0.0 is missing something. Maybe...

I downloaded the latest source for 3.0.0 and the file "libvlc_media.h" has a type "ssize_t" being used on line 306. I can't find where this type is defined. I thought it might be a typo for "size_t", but the comments say "...strictly positive number...". Maybe...

According to this page: https://www.videolan.org/developers/vlc/doc/doxygen/html/group__libvlc__media.html the function libvlc_media_subitems(): "Returns list of media descriptor subitems or NULL " Up to version 2.2.2, this is working as expected. However, in version 3.0.0, this function a...

Check out the docs for "libvlc_media_player_set_hwnd"

"All my code below...."

Don't you need a call to libvlc_media_player_set_equalizer()? I thought THAT's when the change happened.

"2) libvlc_media_player_set_equalizer(handle, equalizer.handle) doesn't work." That may be a little too broad. It works, since I'm using it. libvlc_equalizer_t *eq = libvlc_audio_equalizer_new_from_preset(eqIndex); ....I check return value and do some other things here.... libvlc_media_pla...

Is there any way to avoid changing my computer's volume when I use "libvlc_audio_set_volume()".
The audio changes for 2.2 seem to have included this effect. The volume is not changed 'just in my application'.

Thanks

Come on. You're not even trying. This was covered last month:

https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.ph ... ot#p410387

// This is the callback function
void OnEventCallBack(const libvlc_event_t eventName, void *userDataPointer) {
yourDataType *yourData = (yourDataType*) userDataPointer; // A cheesy way to transfer information into the callback function
}

Here is my understanding. Hopefully, someone will correct my mistakes: libvlc_media_player_t *vlcPlayer; // your media player libvlc_event_manager_t *vlcEventManager = libvlc_media_player_event_manager(vlcPlayer); // get the event manager for your player //Listen for MediaPlayerEndReached event and ...

"...can I draw semi-transparent window/widget (in Qt, for example) over the player?..."

I don't use "widgets" or Qt. However, the controls are "semi-transparent" and appear over the playing video just fine.

Have you checked 'libvlc_media_player_set_video_title_display()'?

Just trying to understand...
You're saying that VLC shows multiple subtitles.
However, the linked-list returned by 'libvlc_video_get_spu_description()' has only one item whose 'psz_name' is 'Disabled' and whose
'p_next' is null ?
