Which libVLC to use for C#?

Postby SteveRicketts » 10 Jan 2010 01:53

I would like to use one of the wrappers in my C# code to play an http video stream from a server with the latest version of VLC. Will need the play, pause, stop, get/set position, and status. I see there are three stickies at the top of the forum that do similar things. Can anyone tell me which of the three is best to use for this purpose?

1. VideoLan.Interop a .Net libvlc 0.9.x wrapper
2. libvlcnet - .NET library based on libvlc
3. C# Wrapper for libvlc 0.9.0 - Testers Required

Many thanks,

sr

For what it's worth, I downloaded the VideoLan.Interop a .Net libvlc 0.9.x wrapper and tried it out. I'm using 1.0.3 on 64 bit Vista Business and it works quite well. I built it into a .dll and send it a URL from the calling program. I'm not doing much other than play, pause, stop, and getting or setting the position. All in all, quite a nice package, not any trouble at all except copying all the VideoLan files to the project directories. I'll post a question about that on the VideoLan.Interop link.

There is one more wrapper included into VLC sources.
It would be very interesting to hear from VLC developers is this wrapper recommended for use or not.

We have no idea. Seriously!

None of us is a C#/.Net developer. We need to hear from you.
