Hello

Sorry I am new here and starting to code libvlc in C for Windows 10.

I succeeded playing a MP3/M4a using

bool avlc_startPlayVLC(char* soundpath)
{
	libvlc_media_t *m;
	// create a new item
	m = libvlc_media_new_path(avlc_inst, soundpath);
	if (m == NULL) return false;

	libvlc_media_parse(m);

	// create a media play playing environment
	avlc_mp = libvlc_media_player_new_from_media(m);
	if (avlc_mp == NULL) return false;

	// no need to keep the media now
	libvlc_media_release(m);

	// play the media_player
	libvlc_media_player_play(avlc_mp);

	return true;
}

I succeeded streaming a radio sending the stream address to

Code: Select all

bool avlc_startStreamVLC(char* server)
{
	libvlc_media_t *m;
	// create a new item
	m = libvlc_media_new_location(avlc_inst, server);
	if (m == NULL) return false;

	// create a media play playing environment
	avlc_mp = libvlc_media_player_new_from_media(m);
	if (avlc_mp == NULL) return false;

	// no need to keep the media now
	libvlc_media_release(m);

	// play the media_player
	libvlc_media_player_play(avlc_mp);

	return true;
}

But I can't make a simple audio CD to play. I thought the code was the same as the MP3 file sending "cdda:///G:/" or "cdda:///G:" or for a track "cdda:///G:/Track01.cda" to libvlc_media_new_path, but even if I don't see any error in the log, the CD doesn't play at all.

Could someone give me a simple piece of code to play the nth track of an audio CD via libvlc, please?

Thanks a lot
