Hello.

Before upgrade libvlx 1.x to 2.x I was using Video mrl such as UTF8.GETBYTES(mrl_link) before send to libvlc. This is working good with unicode files.
DLL define is below

Code: Select all

[DllImport("libvlc"), CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.Cdecl]
        internal static extern IntPtr libvlc_media_new(IntPtr p_instance, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPArray)] byte[] psz_mrl, ref libvlc_exception_t p_exception);

After upgraded to Libvlc 2.x If my filename has no unicode characters, working good . But filename has unicode characters doesn't working.

Is there anybody can help me please?
Besat regards.

I'm using libVLC in an Qt environment. When using:

Code: Select all

libvlc_media_new_location(pVlcInstance, sMrl.toUtf8().constData())

... if sMrl (which is a QString) contains e.g. cyrillic letters the media can't be opened.

This worked fine on libVLC 1.

So far I've seen this problem only on Windows machines. I'm using Qt 4.8.2 with libVLC2.0.3.

Has someone else this problem?

Best regards,
Jörg

URLs cannot contain non-ASCII characters, and with few exceptions VLC MRL also cannot. Cyrillic letters are always percent-encoded in URLs.

Your MRL is most certainly not encoded correctly.

This absolutely makes sense. Using percent encoding all works well.

Thank you very much!

Best regards,

Hi,
Jörg, can you provide solution for percent encoding cyrillic letters in URLs.

Thanks in advance.
