The VideoLAN Forums

when I load video file file "libvlc_media_player_get_length" function and "libvlc_MediaDurationChanged" event works fine.
but when I load video from "http://" both methods ruturn 0 (video played norm)

can anyone tell me what is the best way to get video length for movies from http
thanks

The availability and accuracy of the length depends on the file format and the web server. There is no magic way to fix it on the client side.
