The VideoLAN Forums

I hate to say it, but if you find the wiki is not for beginners, then the code isn't going to be any more beginner friendly.... At any rate, I would second j-b's recommendation for Linux. The Windows route has many steps, and can be complicated. I think it may take 60 min to get everything setup, an...

Last time, I looked at this (3 or 4 months ago), I couldn't get the command-line args working. I assume the same affects your playlist.add call. I described a bit more here: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=79279&p=261992&hilit=deinterlace#p261992 I never dug into the code ...

Try using --video-title-timeout=0 in libvlc_new()

I use the following for video files... (1) --video-title-timeout=0 // else file_name will show when playback begins (2) --no-snapshot-preview // else mini-snapshot will show in upper-left corner of screens (3) --aout=waveout // flv files will drop sound every 6-15 seconds; waveout behaves "bett...

But explicitly switching to DirectX or Win32 waveout doesn't solve the problem FYI: I tried both http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win32/branch-20100611-0202/vlc-1.1.0-rc3-20100611-0202-win32.zip and http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/testing/vlc-1.1.0-rc/win32/vlc-1.1.0-rc-win32.7z. When ...

PS : I have the impression there is a lack for a "VLC development" forum. Do these questions belong here ? Even this thread is not "libVLC" specific unless libVLC and VLC are basically the same thing... Just to chime in: I think a "VLC development" forum would be usefu...

Thanks for looking at this. Most of my .flv files are < 5 minutes. I don't have any around 20 min. When the sound starts dropping for me, it's usually within the first 15 seconds (though I've had some files go as long as 1 minute before they start dropping). Also, is this behavior occuring with &quo...

Under the "otherwise" option, I would recommend using java and vlcj. (see the JVLC status thread) I am a C# developer, but was able to get vlcj up and running fairly easily. I used Eclipse for my IDE, RapidSVN for my SVN GUI and I think that was pretty much it. The JNA is similiar enough t...

sherington is probably the best person to answer this, but I'll try to give a few details. Please note that I have not used jvlc, so my details are based on cursory readings. - both vlcj and and jvlc use jna to call libvlc - jvlc is inactive. vlcj has active development. - jvlc uses 1.0/earlier api....

I tried something similar a while ago. http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=75768 I'm not sure if my situation applies though. I think you're looking for a transparent panel with opaque buttons. I was looking for a fully transparent panel to capture mouse events. At any rate, if you're...

Can you confirm marquee display works with the resulting VLC.exe ? FWIW: it doesn't work on my build. I looked at the messages with verbosity of 2 on my custom build. I noticed this freetype debug: Building font databases. main debug: no fetch required for (null) (art currently (null)) freetype deb...

Okay. Sent the code as a .gz file. Thanks for the notice.

I looked at your revisions, and they're great.
Thanks for re-confirming.

Thanks for the heads-up.
The email was awaiting moderator approval (it was > 80k). I canceled it and broke it up into 2 emails. Hopefully it will go through now.

Wow. Done. Congrats! I think those were exactly the same words I said when I first completed! Just a note: checklist 2 was improperly named. It should have been named something like "running-log of steps I'm doing because it's late". I was getting tired and decided to record my steps, rat...

Just to chime in with sherington. I also use vlcj. I think it's fairly light, and the extra functionality (DVD/streams) should not interfere with AVI playback. Also, I remember I had similar compile issues on an early version. I commented out the log4j references as well as some button images, and I...

Okay. Sent email. Thanks!

Okay. I walked through it again on another machine. It actually took me a little longer than I expected, because I ran into some issues and I couldn't remember what I did the last two times. I also got tired near the end, and correspondingly sloppy. At any rate, I post a modified version of the chec...

Sorry to hear about the issues. I'll try running through the checklist on another machine. I'll post the results of my progress later (hopefully tomorrow evening) Other than that, I'm afraid I'm not of much help in diagnosing. I'm very new to the build process myself, and it looks like I may have go...

Hi all. I decided to shorten my username. My apologies for any confusion. Anyway, as Rémi indicated, accurate seeking is not simple. I think I have an approach that will work for most dvds. It works on those I directly tested (so far, 20). I believe the rationale behind the approach is valid. I deta...
