Obtaining the vlc_media_player of the main loop
Posted: 23 Apr 2023 22:14
Hi All,
I am trying to write a plugin which takes a separate audio or video file and plays one of them back headlessly ("--no-video"), while displaying the other. The purpose is to play a video in multiple languages simultaneously and direct the audio output to different endpoints (e.g. bluetooth and speakers). I start vlc as follows:
This should start the video passed in argv[3] and play a hard coded audio file in a new
Unfortunately however, I haven't been able to figure out how I can access the vlc_media_player_t from the main loop which is playing the media file given to it from argv[3]. I would like for user input events such as pause/play/skipping/seeking to be propagated from the main interface to the headlessly playing audio interface. Is that possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
