JVLC for music playing

[lec-chr]

Hi,

I'm trying to use JVLC only to play Music. However, it looks like even if I'm not going to display anything, I still need to provide a valid display (a Canvas), else nothing works.

Is there a way to play a media without providing a display ?

Thanks.

Hi,

If it's not too much hassle for you to switch from JVLC, you might like to check out my alternate bindings from here http://code.google.com/p/vlcj/ .

I just hacked the UI out of my test player class and was able to successfully play an mp3 through my bindings without any UI at all.

Hi,

Thanks for the tip. I have actually found a way by passing --no-video parameter to JVLC.
