Hello,
how can i get the stream information from a connected mms video stream.When i use the "libvlc_media_get_stats" while the stream is connected and running this function gives me only zero values back. I also tried to make first a parse with the same result

i do something like this, after the stream is connected:

Code: Select all

libvlc_media_stats_t pstats;
    int stat =  libvlc_media_get_stats(curMedia, &pstats);
    float dmuxBitrate       = pstats.f_demux_bitrate;
    int demuxCorrupted      = pstats.i_demux_corrupted;
    int demuxDiscontinuity  = pstats.i_demux_discontinuity;
    int lostPics            = pstats.i_lost_pictures;
    int abuffers            = pstats.i_lost_abuffers;

You need to fix the LibVLC stats code, I guess.

Hello,
when i understand this correctly, there is a bug in the library?

Possibly.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but for anyone looking at stats and getting zeros returned, take a look at VLCLibrary.m in VLCKit and look for the _defaultOptions

comment out the --no-stats in the vlcParams as below

Code: Select all

vlcParams = @[@"--no-color",
                  @"--no-osd",
                  @"--no-video-title-show",
                  //@"--no-stats",
                  @"--avcodec-fast",
                  @"--verbose=0",
                  @"--text-renderer=quartztext"];

Hope this helps
John
