Using VLC functionality in the libvlc.h file.
Posted: 08 Sep 2008 17:23
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.
