thanks, i just arrived here yesterday and it is such a long topic that i find it difficult to get my head around all the possibilities and different techniques.

i took the code from the page 2 now and updated my code. still get the same exception :

A first chance exception of type 'System.AccessViolationException' occurred in Marx_libvlc_wrapper.dll
Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

this time it comes from this line
libvlc_media_player.video_set_parent(libvlc_core.Handle, pictureBox1.Handle, ref ex);

I tried to run the wrapper test but I couldn't do it.
Am I doing something wrong? I copied libvlc.dll and plugins folder to debug folder, then ran the program.
Here's the output from console window:
-I: unknown option or missing mandatory argument `--ignore-config'
Try `-I --help' for more information.
The command line options couldn't be loaded, check that they are valid.

Press the RETURN key to continue...

Hi all,

I just found this topic about Marx's C# wrapper, I'd like to know what's the highest version of VLC can be used with the wrapper.

I'm using 0.9.8a (I think 0.9.9 is good also)

Hi, I'm kinda new to VLC developing, but this wrapper seems promising. I downloaded a sample project, but when I start it I just keep getting this errro:
"An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)"
I already checked some thinsgs mentioned in this thread, and the files libvlc.dll, libvlccore.dll and plugins folder are there. How do I get this to work?

Hi.
I'm trying to make a module that will read the stream STATISTICS (frames received, bitrate, etc.) from libvlc.dll
Does anyone know a way to do this?

Thanks

Has anyone found a solution for the "Read/Write Protected Memory" error when using with Vista.

I have been using this wrapper quite successfully in XP for some time now and have changed to Vista. For some reason there is the Protected Memory error when trying to set_parent. I don't understand the difference between XP and Vista that should cause this.

I think from reading here, a few people are finding the same.

Thanks for that but set_drawable just opens a window to show the video rather than rendering it on my picturebox.

Hi,

i've been experiencing the same problem as drewdb, except i am not trying to play video, merely MP3s, so there is no drawable surface per say.
It runs perfectly under XP, but as soon as i switch to Vista 32 or 64, i also get the protected memory problem.
Please help. The code is included below, it is failing as soon as i call audio_set_track. Exception is <Input is Null>, but everything is populated and it works on XP:

Code: Select all

// Create new libvlc instance, media instance from file and media player instance from media string[] argv = new string[] { "--no-video-title-show" }; ex = new libvlc_exception_struct(); exClass = new Marx_libvlc_exception(ref ex); libvlc_core = new Marx_libvlc_core(argv, ref ex); libvlc_media = new Marx_libvlc_media(libvlc_core.Handle, link, ref ex); libvlc_media_player = new Marx_libvlc_media_player(libvlc_media.Handle, ref ex); // Dispose of media Handle libvlc_media.Handle.Dispose(); libvlc_media = null; try { libvlc_media_player.audio_set_track(libvlc_media_player.Handle, 1, ref ex); //<====== FAILS HERE. Vista only. } catch { throw new Exception(exClass.get_message(ref ex)); } try { libvlc_media_player.play(ref ex); SetStatus(PlayerStatus.Playing); _positionTimer.Enabled = true; } catch { throw new Exception(exClass.get_message(ref ex)); }
Thanks

Hi,
Does anyone know what is the correct way to retrieve the current video frame in a bitmap object?

Hi,

How to propely use the --mem-data in the VB.net to get bitmap?

Code: Select all

Dim m_standardArgs As New ArrayList(New String() {"--ignore-config", "--no-video-title-show", _ "--vout", "vmem", _ "--vmem-width", "720", _ "--vmem-height", "576", _ "--vmem-pitch", "2880", _ "--vmem-chroma", "RV32", _ "--vmem-lock", Marshal.GetFunctionPointerForDelegate(delegate_dolock1).ToInt32.ToString, _ "--vmem-unlock", Marshal.GetFunctionPointerForDelegate(delegate_unlock1).ToInt32.ToString, _ "--vmem-data", ctx_ptr.ToInt32.ToString, _ "--no-plugins-cache", "--plugin-path", dllInstallDirectory & "\plugins"})
Is this the code is correct ?, because the function dolock does not receive anything.

{Edit, 2009.08.24}

Found error, i forgot put "--" befor vmem-lock and vmem-unlock, now everything is ok.

I created a small test program it's working, but after copying wrapper to a large program, does not receive data from vlc, why?

charlest,

To get a frame use

VLC_PUBLIC_API mediacontrol_RGBPicture *
mediacontrol_snapshot( mediacontrol_Instance *self,
const mediacontrol_Position *a_position,
mediacontrol_Exception *exception );

which is declared in mediacontrols.h

You will have to implement interop for few structures mediacontrol_RGBPicture, mediacontrol_Position , mediacontrol_Exception and few methods before you can call it. It will give you data in PNG format but it castable to Bitmap and Image Object in C#.

Regards,
K. Prasad Rao

Hello guys
I have some problem using the Marx c# wrapper for libvlc.
I want to add the subtitle on the movies, but when the movie is rendered the subtitles always are in a fixed mode(e.g the color font is always black). I added this line in the argv ("--freetype-color=<string>") to have more colors, but the subtitle font color is still Black.
I also render the movies in "--vout", "vmem".
A strange result is this: when I render the movie in "--vout", "directx" instead of "--vout", "vmem" the problem is resolved.
Would you mind helping me guys?
Thank you in advance for your attention.
