Extracting the audio track from a video faster

[Nico6687]

Hello,

Is there a faster way to extract the audio from a video than playing the video and intercepting the PCM data in the audio play callback?
Basically, if I have a video which is 30 minutes long, how do I get the audio track without having to wait for 30 minutes?
For example, can I force the lib to send me the next audio buffer, then the next etc... or change the sample rate to be higher so I get more data per buffer?

(I am using libVLCSharp.WinForms in case it matters...)

Thank you!

Good question.. guess we need some specific docs on that.

Code: Select all

--sout-smem-time-sync, --no-sout-smem-time-sync Time Synchronized output (default enabled) Time Synchronisation option for output. If true, stream will render as usual, else it will be rendered as fast as possible.

I've never tried this though.

It doesn't matter at all, libvlc is the underneath library used.
