I found those header files under /usr/win32/include Initial script I gor from howto doc is ./bootstrap && \ CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml" \ LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib \ CC="gcc -mno-cygwin" CXX="g++ -mno-cygwin" \ ./configure \ --enable...

I got the source code from http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/source/. But it is missing files like faad.h, avcodec.h... Hence when I try configure my build, it fails for missing header files. Initially I was planning to bootstrap then configure and then make. But I could never get bootstrap workin...

I am having troubles when on congiguration. If I install cygwin automake 1.8 or 1.9, aclocal fails. Now when I am using either automake 1.6 or 1.7, auto conf fails. This is the error message I get + aclocal-1.7 -I m4 + autoconf ' is already registered with AC_CONFIG_FILES. autoconf/status.m4:848: AC...

I was looking for ways to determine if the VLC activex stops receiving video. Looking into libvlc.c, I realize that "Playing" property does not reflect the true state of VLC. It checks playlist state. So if user started playing some live stream and for some network problem, vlc stops recei...

Is there anyway to determine if the VLC activex stops receiving video?

When the VLC stops receiving video live stream, I want to get some kind of notification. I tried "Playing" property but it always returns true after calling Play() (even if video is not playing) Is there any other way to know that video stopped for some reason, like video finished, network...

I am having the same question. I am following howto document. I got the precompiled libaries. I am having problem with configuring part. I didn't understand where these bootstrap and configure scrit files should be. I created them with the given text in howto document but when I run ./configure in c...

I am using cygwin to build the VLC player. I am follwing the stpes form http://developers.videolan.org/vlc/vlc/INSTALL.win32 I have downloaded compiled libraries and used cygwin to unzip it into /usr/win32 diretory. Next step is to configure the build. I did not understand the document on how to do ...

I am using VLC player 0.8.2. If I use GUI to record stream to a local file, it works but if I use the command line to do so no file is created. I used the MRL as command line parameters. 1. When just saving to a file vlc.exe "zeharabellydancer01sample.mpeg":sout=#duplicate{dst=std{access=f...

I want to use VLC to play non-standard input format. Input would be network stream over UDP. At high level, input is a sequence of OpenGl frames. I believe I need to write new access, demux and decoder modules. Typically this is done by taking code from existing module and modify it. Will someone pl...

So from our discussion as I understand I need to write new acess, demux and decoder module. My input would be a network stream over UDP. Can I not use the existing access module? Since I am really new to VLC architecture and code, can you please guide me as to which modules are easier to modify with...

Thanks for your replies.

As I have understood so far, I would need to write new input module, demultiplexer and decoder. Is that right?

PS:
Though it is propriety format, we don't mind releasing its code.

DIB is device independent bitmap. Currently we use this to render the picture.

I want to use VLC player to play MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and our own protocol. We have an stand alone application that receives our propriety encoded data over network, decode it and generate DIB out of it. I want to know how to go about adding this protocol as input to to VLC player. Please point me to some...

My application has a video player component. I am planning to use VLC player for it. The application needs to run on Windows and linux. Can someone please tell me how much - at what layer - VLC players on windows and linux have in common. Are the APIs same? Thanks in advance for any answers, suggest...
