Hi,
I'm playing an url using the libVLC in a C++ application I'm using to test the quality of the video, whenever I start the playback with:

Code: Select all

    auto vlc_instance = VLC::Instance(0, nullptr);
    auto media = VLC::Media(vlc_instance, url, VLC::Media::FromLocation);
    auto mp = VLC::MediaPlayer(media);
    mp.play();

I can listen to the audio even if my application is a console application that shows no video, is there a way to disable the audio ? Put on mute ?

I can see there is:

Code: Select all

mp.setAudioOutput("string");

Is there a name I can use to tell VLC I want it on mute ? No Audio ?

In addition I would like to retrieve information like the video resolution and stream quality, are there properties exposed in order to do that ?

Thanks.

I've found there is:

Code: Select all

mp.setMute(true);

It is working.
Still I would like to understand the stream quality like resolution and bit rate ...

try inspecting the media tracks

Code: Select all

auto tracks = mp.tracks( VLC::MediaTrack::Type::Video );
