Right method to release vlc

Postby smartmobili » 22 May 2019 11:26

Hello,

I have a wxWidgets application with a few panels where I use vlc to read some videos, so when I start the application several windows are instantiated.
When I exit the application there are some random deadlocks.
When I google about that I can find the following thread: [url]https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=87932[/url].
So I will try it but I have another question about the right method to release a vlc, here is how I am doing it:

Code: Select all

wxVideoPlayerCtrl::~wxVideoPlayerCtrl() { // Not sure the lock is necessary... wxCriticalSectionLocker lock(m_critsect); if (m_mlp) { GetVlcAPI()->libvlc_media_player_stop(m_media_player); GetVlcAPI()->libvlc_media_list_player_stop(m_mlp); GetVlcAPI()->libvlc_media_player_release(m_media_player); GetVlcAPI()->libvlc_media_list_release(m_ml); GetVlcAPI()->libvlc_media_list_player_release(m_mlp); GetVlcAPI()->libvlc_release(m_vlc_inst); } delete m_vlc; m_vlc = nullptr; }
or do I only need to call libvlc_release and everything is done automatically ?

On internet when I look at samples everyone is doing it differently so hard to know what is the right solution.
