The VideoLAN Forums

Hello guys,
I am writing to report a weird issue that I encountered since I moved my code from libVLC 2.0.8 to 2.1.0 (and all the other following releases) under windows and visual studio.
Under linux everything still works correctly since I am compiling the library and plugins myself (and no DLLs LOL).
In my simple application I am basically creating a new context through lbvlc_new, loading a video and rendering it an embedded OGRE texture (nothing too special about this).
After I moved from 2.0.8 to 2.1.0 it seems that libvlc_new still loads all the plugins correctly but it unloads them without giving any specific reason.
Most of the DLLs are now displaying this error message '0xC0000139: Entry Point Not Found'.
Digging a little bit further I was able to isolate the fact that after 2.1.0 the plugins where compiled and released a little bit differently than before, in fact, if I link my application with the new libvlc 2.1.3 and I load the plugins' DLL from 2.0.8 everything still works correctly.
Any thought or suggestion?
Many thanks in advance

Yes ...I am also facing same issue.
After little analysis ...it looks like libvlc_new interface is replaced in VLC 2.1.x onward.

Any document/way to compare the old interface with new replaced interface would help inn migrating from VLC 2.0.X to VLC 2.1.x

No, libvlc_new is still the right point of entry.
Are you sure the .lib file you use is the right one?

Hi Jean and Lokesh,
thanks for the reply. Yes I am linking against the right one (I am using CMake to create my projects with absolute paths).
I also double checked the environment vars and I only have vlc dlls in my run folder.
