Hello,

I want to use following function of VLC 0.8.6.i

VLC_EXPORT( char *, vlc_input_item_GetInfo, ( input_item_t *p_i, const char *psz_cat,const char *psz_name ) );

But the issue is I am not able to get the "input_item_t" object.

Can anyone help me in getting the input_item_t object in C#.

Thanks,
Ram

I have created the following structure for input_item_t.

Code: Select all

  [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
      struct input_item_t
      {

         public IntPtr psz_name;
         public IntPtr psz_uri;
         public int i_options;            /**< Number of input options */
         public IntPtr ppsz_options;
         public mtime_t i_duration;           /**< A hint about the duration of this * item, in milliseconds*/
         public int i_id;                 /**< Identifier of the item */
         public uint i_type;               /**< Type (file, disc, ...) */
         public int i_categories;         /**< Number of info categories */
         public IntPtr pp_categories; /**< Pointer to the first info category */
         public IntPtr i_es;                /**< Number of es format descriptions */
         IntPtr es;                /**< Pointer to an array of es formats */
         public vlc_bool_t b_fixed_name;        /**< Can the interface change the name ?*/
         public IntPtr input_stats_t;          /**< Statistics */
         public vlc_mutex_t lockObj;                /**< Item cannot be changed without this lock */
      };

and I am creating its object as follows

Code: Select all

VlcObject vobj = new VlcObject(this.vlcHandle, ObjectType.VLC_OBJECT_VLC);

 input_item_t it = (input_item_t)Marshal.PtrToStructure(vobj.Vlc, typeof(input_item_t));

But I am getting "0" value for pp_categories. Am I missing anything here?
