Hello, a few years ago, I used LibVLC pre 2.0 to play streams (like rtsp, http, dvb-t, ...) With that version, I managed to first get the info about the streams 'silently' (in the background) by adding this option to the media first: libvlc_media_add_option( preloadMedia, "sout=#description:dum...

Which leaves the question open:

how to apply video-filters in LibVLC >= 2.0 ?

Has this been solved? Seems to be problem over here too.

I guess something has changed since 1.1.x...

I am using LibVLC too, and I have the same problem, but with local avi files. Either the application starts ok, or it crashes in libfreetype_plugin.dll. It feels like, if something in 1 of 2 threads takes somewhat longer than it usually does (and thus something is not completely initialized), the th...

I'm sorry, but I don't see how 'getting a list of available filters' enables me to disable a certain filter...

Where exactly do you mean? In the NEWS.txt file in the nightly build of march 15, I only found this (which I like :) * New capabilities for libVLC: ** libvlc_media_player_navigate for DVD navigation ** libvlc_audio_filter_list_get, libvlc_video_filter_list_get to get the list of available audio and ...

Crop seems broken since 1.1.x:
ticket 3941

I hope it will be fixed soon... then I can try again.

I found out that actually both ways work! At first your way didn't work either, but I found out why: In my VLC i changed the default playlist behaviour to play-and-pause (video file stops on the last frame), and this caused VLC to not go to the next playlist item automatically. So if someone else ev...

That I can allow a user to add options before opening the file, without having to build a command line parser from scratch. It already exists, why would I try to recreate the same thing myself? (BTW I decode video frames to memory planes using libvlc_video_set_callbacks and libvlc_video_set_format, ...

Somewhere in VLC's code there is a function called vout_EnableFilter, which is indirectly used in functions like libvlc_video_set_adjust_int, in order to enable a certain video-filter. At this time, someone using LibVLC is limited to changing effects parameters for which functions have been written ...

The question was: can I do this using libvlc_media_add_option(...)

[UPDATE] Crop seems broken since 1.1.x: check progress on 3941 If I use vlc's command-line I can crop a video-file by entering something like vlc.exe video.avi --crop='20x20+10+10' . I don't seem to get this working when I use libvlc_media_add_option(...) I have tried this, but since crop is a video...

Should play the file and exit VLC afterwards?

It doesn't work for me (only tested on windows but it might be a general problem). I tried 1.1.5, and 1.1.8 NB from 2 days ago or something. it plays the file, then Vlc doesn't quit.

I reconfigured the thing on Linux, and now I have another problem. I will update this thread asap.

The problem on windows is still the same. I am using the latest contribs etc. I tried to do exactly as exmplained in the wiki, but it fails for 1.1.7 and for 1.1.6, with te same error...

The nightly build was 1.2.0

Hello, I am trying to crosscompile vlc. I managed to compile a linux version, but when trying to create the win32 version using make package-win32-base some definitions seem to be missing from the make file. For instance U2D is not defined, neither is OBJCOPY. There are others, but these are the fir...

Hello, I wanted to try compiling VLC myself for windows yesterday, so I tried to setup crosscompile from Linux. Didn't manage to get it done, so I started to try it from windows (unsing msys). Somewhere in the wiki (http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileMSYSNew) it said I should download a bunch of f...

Hello, I am experiencing a problem when looping video's. I experienced this first using LibVLC 1.1.5 or 1.1.6, where I implemented a very simple way to loop video's, namely when the video had a status of ended, I would stop and start the mediaplayer in order to repeat the file. When the playing spee...

I can't really help you, but I am posting here also since I have a question that's a bit related. What I do know is that the function libvlc_media_player_get_position( libvlc_media_player_t *p_mi ) returns the position of p_input_thread, which advances in blocks and as a consequence is not very accu...

So at this time, it's not possible to use it, I understand. That still leaves me with the question: what exactly would it do, once there is an API? I mean, does it basically do the same as opening a file (a wrapper + elementary streams), but the data is in memory? Or is it something that can read 'r...

Seems like a bit of a mystery

I would also like to know what the possibilities are, and how to use it.

Absolutely.

I thought I tried that, but appearantly I didn't.

Thanks a lot.

Hello, I am looking for a nice way to loop video, or a part of a video using LibVLC. What I did until now, was call play again, as soon as the status was libvlc_ended. This pauses the video for a few ms, while vlc starts to play again. Then there's also the options --input-repeat= --start-time= --st...

And when I try the same thing in today's nightly build I get
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 9, 2, 3, 4 ...

Different, but still wrong. Don't know if the same thing happens at speed 1.0.
