I have a buffer which store the video data readed from other place, and I need use libvlc to read and play it from the memory buffer,
I try to imem, but it doesn't work, I have no idea how to program with imem, or imem isn't used by this way?
please help me,thank you!
int MyImemGetCallback (void *data,
const char *cookie,
int64_t *dts,
int64_t *pts,
unsigned *flags,
size_t * bufferSize,
void ** buffer)
{
static int64_t _dts = 0, _pts = 0;
if (!g_isInit){
/*load local file*/
local = fopen(TestFile,"rb");
if (!local){
return true;
}
size_t count = fread(in_buffer,1,IMG_WIDTH*IMG_HEIGHT*4,local);
*bufferSize = count;
*buffer = in_buffer;
g_isInit = true;
*dts = _dts; *pts = _pts;
_dts+=30; _pts+=30;
return 0 ;
}
size_t count = fread(in_buffer,1,IMG_WIDTH*IMG_HEIGHT*4,local);
*bufferSize = count;
*buffer = in_buffer;
*dts = _dts; *pts = _pts;
_dts+=30; _pts+=30;
if(count>0) {
printf("read %d bytes\n",count);
return 0;
}else{
return true; /*eof*/
}
}

Thank you for your reply.
I find the libvlc_media_new_callbacks() interface in libvlc 3.0.0 which worked on mac os,
But on android os, I can't find the libvlc versioned 3.0.0, the max version is 2.2.8, and there is no libvlc_media_new_callbacks interface, how can I read data from buffer on android os or linux os ?
Thank you very much!
