libvlc_media_player_t

[keithbo]

I'm trying to build a simple Windows console app using liblvc. I'm running into a problem that I think is related to this line of code in libvlc_media_player.h :
typedef struct libvlc_media_player_t libvlc_media_player_t;

What does the libvlc_media_player_t struct really look like?
Here is the info from the top of the header file:
* libvlc_media_player.h: libvlc_media_player external API

Thanks in advance for the help.

Depends on the LibVLC version. The layout of the structure is not specified by the API; it's internal.

I've installed VLC 1.1.6.0 and used info from http://wiki.videolan.org/GenerateLibFromDll to "...extract exported symbols from libvlc.dll to generate a ..lib (libvlc.lib) and link your program against it".

I created a Windows console app that does nothing but return 0. I'm using VS2010
I get this error when I try to compile:
Error 1 error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'libvlc_media_player_t' c:\program files\videolan\vlc\sdk\include\vlc\libvlc_media_list_player.h 96 1 vlcapitestapp1

How can I get past this problem?

Thanks!
