xZune.Vlc is an LibVlc solution for .NET, it has encapsulated most of functionalities of LibVlc.
This project aims to find a perfect solution for using Vlc on WPF.
xZune.Vlc provides an native WPF control(xZune.Vlc.Wpf), this control achieves video playback by utilizing InteropBitmap and shared memory.
Since it’s a native WPF control, it doesn't suffer from HwndHost’s airspace issue.

Hey, that's pretty cool! Thanks

Hi,

Using InteropBitmap is not recommended to display images as video due to memory leaks which can cause BSOD and a lot of memory usage (when you played a video in loop for few hours)... That's why I changed the code of Vlc.DotNet which --I think-- you have inspired.

I can also do unsafe code, but the purpose of Vlc.DotNet is to not have a single line of code unsafe.

Microsoft is preparing a new implementation using DirectX for image rendering in WPF, and I'm waiting to implement it.

Hi,

Yes, I have used Vlc.DotNet in my project(xZune), but I found I can't put any control on Player, so I write a LibVlc wrapper for it(xZune.Vlc).
Then I found it is not easy to use, so I create a control for it(xZune.Vlc.Wpf), I think many people need it for WPF Application, so I make it open-source.

xZune.Vlc is only want to provide a native WPF control, and you can create a Cool Player Application with WPF.

Also xZune.Vlc is not perfect, it has many problem about Multi-thread, play control and deadlock.
In early version of xZune.Vlc, stop media is not a easy work, and it will case deadlock in sometime, it is still not perfect now, you must use it by those code: But xZune.Vlc have solved some flaw of LibVlc, like: interactive with DVD menu when you play video with video callback (#5), DAR and SAR error with some video (#32).

About InteropBitmap, I have test it, I play a video(1920x1080 H.264 AAC) loop in two hours, this is memory usage log:
02:03 AM - 188.3MB
02:35 AM - 179.2MB
02:51 AM - 148.7MB
03:13 AM - 146.4MB
03:34 AM - 149.9MB
03:46 AM - 163.8MB
04:10 AM - 162.1MB
04:14 AM - 156.1MB
04:19 AM - 149.2MB

I think it is in the acceptable range, at present. I will continue test it in next day.

Thank you.
