VideoLan.Interop a .Net libvlc 0.9.x wrapper

[SteveRicketts]

Nicely done wrapper! I just downloaded the wrapper and built it into a .dll using VS 2008 on 64 bit Vista Business. I'm using 1.0.3 and passing the wrapper an http url stream, it works very well. Events kick up nicely and really no problem at all... except copying the .dll's and plugin's everywhere.

My question is (and I'm sure I'll find out at some point when I try to run this on another computer), will the wrapper find the installed files rather than having them with the .dll (or .exe)? I tried :

VlcFolder = @"c:\program files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC";
Vlc = new VideoLanClient(VlcFolder);

But it didn't seem to work. All I had was a black screen. So, I put the VLC dll's and plugin directory into the debug folder, pointed VideoLanClient to that folder, and it worked fine. What will happen if I just install my software and the VideoLan.Interop.dll?

Thanks,

Steve

What is the command to change the subtitle track using libvlc. I am using the C# wrapper.

Is there anymore update on development of this wrapper?
This is a very nice wrapper, easy to use and it will be a waste if this is no longer maintained

Getting vlc to render in wpf is my primary goal. The project I work on, MeediOS, is 99% WPF. The 1% is a WinFormsHost with a panel that we use to render vlc on.

Hi,
I was using VLC version 1.0.x with C# wrapper VideoLan.Interop.dll by kairos (version 1.0.0).

My project run correctly on Windows and, in general, on linux using mono 2.6.7 in ubuntu 10.04, but when I "launch" an "embeded vlc" it's video is displayed in a separate "XVideo" window.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

many thanks!

Michele

Does the developer plan to port this source to the new 1.1.x version of VLC?

I have this code :

Code: Select all

Vlc = new VideoLanClient(".", Options); VlcPlayer = Vlc.NewMediaPlayer(VideoPanel.Handle); string fileName = "C:\\www\\sound.mp3"; VlcMedia desc1 = Vlc.NewMedia(fileName); desc1.AddOption(@":no-video"); desc1.AddOption(@":sout=#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128}"); desc1.AddOption(@":std{access=http,mux=dummy,dst=:4567/stream.mp3}"); VlcPlayer.Load(desc1); VlcPlayer.Play();

I tryed all the ways but don't start streaming.

[reynolds87]

I also tryed this settings for VideoLanClient without succes

Code: Select all

string[] Options = new string[]{ @"--no-video", @"--sout-transcode-acodec=mp3", @"--sout-transcode-ab=128", @"--sout-standard-access=http", @"--sout-standard-mux=dummy", @"--sout-standard-dst=:4567/stream.mp3"};

hi,
You have to put the plugins folder and libvlc.dll files to the runtime directory. You can also change the demo application to take the default vlc folder installation path to acquire the plugins.
Hope it helps!!!
Bye

[reynolds87]

I can't take a look at your project right now, but did you manage to play a stream or any media with your project ? (see if libvlc and the plugins load or not).

And which version of libvlc do you use ?
Because wrapper 0.9 works with libvlc 0.9, wrapper 1.0 works with libvlc 1.0, and both doesn't work with the latest version of libvlc (1.1.x), where libvlc_exception_init have been removed.

Edit:
i just checked your project, you use libvlc 1.0 and an example player, i guess it works for playing a media.
By the way, you tried ":sout=..." and "--sout=...", but did you tried "sout=..." ?

i use this, and it works perfectly :

Code: Select all

AddOption("sout=#duplicate{dst=display,dst=std{access=file,mux=ts,dst=\"recording.ts\"}}")

[reynolds87]

Solved !

Code: Select all

Options = new string[]{ //audio mp3 @"--no-sout-video", @"--sout=#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128}:standard{access=http,mux=dummy,dst=:" + Port + "}"};

Thanks for help!

[XilasZ]

So what was the issue ?

[reynolds87]

wrong command line argumets

[LJ_Ingo]

Hi!

Thanks for the lib!
Is there a problem with thread safety if I use multiple threads with each one controlling only an own player? Should work, shouldn't it?

Ingo

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

It should work.

[LJ_Ingo]

Okay thanks.

Hi, I'm trying to do livehttp from the lib, but I'm always getting the timeout right after the play. (tested ok with another transcode )
Maybe livehttp is not supported ? Anyone ? Thx

Code: Select all

string playerOutputConfig = @":sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,acodec=mp3,vb=2000,scale=0.5,ab=48}:standard{access=livehttp{seglen=10,delsegs=true,numsegs=5,index=c:\temp\stream.m3u8,index-url=stream-########.ts},mux=ts,dst=c:\temp\stream-########.ts}"; VlcMediaLibraryFactory factory = CreateVlcMediaLibraryFactory(); VlcSinglePlayer playerStream = (VlcSinglePlayer)factory.CreatePlayer(new PlayerOutput(playerOutputConfig)); try { playerStream.SetMediaInput(new MediaInput(MediaInputType.File, file)); playerStream.Play(); ...
