Are there any complete samples about using libvlc for audio CDs?

Postby zedrummer » 26 Jan 2021 14:04

Hello
Looking around I tried different solution proposed to read an audio CD (Windows 10, original audio CD inside):

Code: Select all

bool avlc_playCD_VLC(char driveletter) { libvlc_instance_t *avlc_inst; libvlc_media_player_t *avlc_mp; libvlc_media_t *m; // create a new item char tbuf[MAX_PATH]; sprintf_s(tbuf, MAX_PATH, "cdda:///%c:/",driveletter); libvlc_media_t *vlcMedia = libvlc_media_new_location(avlc_inst, tbuf); if (!vlcMedia) return false; /* Create a new libvlc player */ libvlc_media_parse(vlcMedia); libvlc_media_player_t* vlcPlayer = libvlc_media_player_new_from_media(vlcMedia); if (!vlcPlayer) return false; /* Release the media */ libvlc_media_player_play(vlcPlayer); Sleep(100); libvlc_media_list_t* pMediaList = libvlc_media_subitems(vlcMedia); if (pMediaList != NULL) { libvlc_media_list_lock(pMediaList); int listcount = libvlc_media_list_count(pMediaList); for (int ti = 0; ti < listcount; ti++) { libvlc_media_t* subItemInstance = libvlc_media_list_item_at_index(pMediaList, ti); } libvlc_media_list_unlock(pMediaList); libvlc_media_list_release(pMediaList); } return true; }
(I know the "Sleep(100)" method is not the right one, I do that for testing)
Everything is going OK, it returns "true", in the debug log, I have:

Code: Select all

1/ But it never plays a sound.
If I debug, listcount (= libvlc_media_list_count(pMediaList)) is always 0.

2/ Why is the CDDB failing? Is there anything to do to make the CDDB works?
Is the VLC CDDB server reliable or can we switch to gnudb.gnudb.org/80 ?

Thanks
David

Which "Sleep()" function is that?
This one: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/window ... hapi-sleep uses milliseconds.

Yeas it's this one, it stops for 0.1s, you believe that it's not enough?
I just tried 1s "Sleep(1000);" and it doesn't change

About the CDDB issue:
https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=152035

Looks like nothing has been done in time.
And I still can't get gnudb.org to work with VLC as of today.

Thanks Lotesdelere, I don't even know how to play the audio CD for the moment, so...
