Using VLC functionality in the libvlc.h file.

[brushhead]

Hi,
Can anyone confirm if I can use the VLC library (defined in the libvlc.h header) as a way of placing a Video onto a WIndow ( in linux/Xorg).

I have thought of doing it on Windows but that is not straightforward as I have to get cgwin involved ( I think!).

I want to be able to do this as I would like to create a TV project a bit like MythTV and Freevo, except it is based heavily on Multicast streaming to conserve network bandwitch such that it is widely distributable.

Sinerely,

Rob.

If you use VLC 0.9.0 or later, you are free to use any header file shipped in the include/vlc/ subdirectory in the source tarballs.
