Wrong states in VLCMediaPlayerDelegate method !!

Postby huiZhang » 17 Aug 2015 10:31

Hi,
I found there are something wrong in method - (void)mediaPlayerStateChanged:(NSNotification *)aNotification of delegate VLCMediaPlayerDelegate;
i used VLCMediaPlayerState currentState = mediaPlayer.state to get the state, when mediaPlayerStateChanged called, but the result is always VLCMediaPlayerStateBuffering, only changed when the video played complete it got VLCMediaPlayerStateStopped, or i paused the video then it got VLCMediaPlayerStatePaused, and then it got VLCMediaPlayerStatePlaying when i play the video again.
isn't it got VLCMediaPlayerStateBuffering when i open video ,then got VLCMediaPlayerStatePlaying when the player is playing ? why it is always VLCMediaPlayerStateBuffering even video is begin play? and if i am wrong, how to get the correct state?
Thank you for your help !

It is falling back to buffering if it needs to re-buffer after playback started because your input media isn't provided fast enough, which is typical for network connections.

There is no BufferingEnd event at this point, even though that might be useful indeed. If you don't receive a new "buffering" event within half a second, it is safe to assume that VLC is not buffering actively.
