Hello,

Can any one have an idea how can I get the decoder messages in a progrmaticlly way?
I would like to hook up to the vlc as video analyzer for a live feed of video.

Thanks,

You dump all messages VLC creates to a file using the logger-interface. The decoder warnings and errors are included within this log, but you cannot access them seperately as far as I know.

Thanks for the answer,

Is there any interface to send the log messages to a destination IP using udp or http format?
reading a file will force me to open the file over and over which is not effecient way.

I have created a logger module modification that sends logger messages via UDP. It has 2 configuration params UDP port and IP destination.

I don´t know if it would be included to VLC.

Waiting your comments

send a patch to vlc-devel@ videolan.org

I would like to have that in VLC too...

Me too. When do you expect we can have a build of VLC with such feature? It would be greate to intgrate VLC with other applications with no pain.

thanks,
abarak
