how to retrieve codec and media information

Postby valky » 05 Apr 2010 12:09

Hi all,
My problem is that I have embedded VLC Player in web page using VLC Multimedia Plug-in 1.0.5 and I need to retrieve codec information and also media information when web client is accessing video (example. input bitrate, lost frames, decoded blocks, ...). Is there any way how to do it using Plugin API or do you have any other ideas? I am new to VLC so I will be thankful for any ideas. I would like to get this information on client (running some client-side code) and then send this data to remote database. Thank you

No, plugin does not expose statistics or codec information. VLC plugin exposes very very limited view to the vlc player interface. Its not like you have known to use MS Excel or IE activex type libraries, they tend to expose pretty much everything you can do through a user interface.
