hi there.

i've just made my own java binding library for vlc.

why?

becuse no current library meet my needs.

features of my library:

1) do not depend on VLC.exe installation. it carry its own build dlls (so, dylib)

2) native maven support. present in maven central repo

3) has simple api, really simple and freindly

4) has automatic way of detecting natives librarys. it just works, just forget about natives

5) has all 3 os's support, tested and configured.

6) LGPL 3.0

7) InputStream! you can stream data without file system or url directly to the library!

so, no vlc java binding librarys has all of this.

enjoy and use it

today i pickup fix for video playback on macosx and add macosx-x64 binarys to the maven repo.

can you please refer my library from vlc page?

windows x64 build done!

all main os covered!!!

Why not LGPLv2.1+ ?

i trust Richard Stallman

As you wish. But for video, the Tivo clause is very annoying

Why not LGPLv2.1+ ?

Been trying out LGPL as an alternative for Java binding, seems to be working much better than the alternatives. I'd recommend this for anyone in a similar situation
