VLC minimum framework

[tjenkins]

Hi guys

I am fairly new to media on linux and recently discovered VLC. It is the only player that properly plays what I need: mms:// streaming WMV video.

I am wondering how difficult would it be to make just a small framework application that will play that video in the window. I do not need any additional options, just to play WMV video given the mms:// url.

I unpacked the source and you can imagine, I have no idea where to start with it.

Guys, any help is more then welcome at this point.

Read the wiki and the developer corner.

Read the howto libvlc

Hi I do not have time to read it all and the project unpacked is 80MB. I was hoping for something more specific. When a friend asks you how to resize image in photoshop you do not tell them to read the documentation.

If there is anyone willing to help or if there is a quick and dirty way to achieve that I would be grateful.

well, integrating VLC in your application, streaming, transcoding, playing multiple format is not as easy as resizing an image in photoshop

and you need to be motivated

Are you joking ? I hope you are....

You are asking US to do on OUR free time a framework for your application but you don't even want to read the manual ?
You do programming but don't read the interfaces, the functions...

So maybe you don't want to compile an application...

vlc -Idummy mms://URL will just show the video.

Thanks.. No disrespect there I wasnt asking anyone to do anything I am just asking where to start. I know I can read the documentation and in two months become an expert on VLC but I do not have that time.

I will try with that j-b at least to start it as an external source.
