Hi, everyone,
I'm developing a player with VLC-1.1.11,but there is a problem, how can I get the buffer size while the real-time video is playing? I can't find the the APIs. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

There are more than one buffer involved in a typical pipeline. And that is all internal stuff that is not exposed via the API.

Download a video stream accelerator. Run the video accelerator when streaming a video. Most of these applications run in the background and will automatically begin buffering video every time a video is streamed.
Thank you very much! But how to know the buffer that the video has streamed? Can the 3rd party tools do this?

I don't understand the question, so it probably makes no sense.
