Hi,
I try to use vlc to add some video features to my c++ project.
Is there some tutorial, mailing or help place somewhere?
I already visit the wiki.developers.org and read the c tutorial, but there is not c++ stuff !

i check the phonon (c++) project which use vlc and in the description i see that phonon use libvlc-control to command vlc. But i don't find resource about this library.

Thanks!

add #include "libvlc_structures.h" to your libvlc.h file.
