The VideoLAN Forums

Hi,

Could you consider returning, in master branch, the VLCAudio support? I am developing an application with multiple videos with audio and I want to play the audio of the one that is currently selected. I made a modification in the code, that I could share if you like, that enables the application to mute each video individually without using the hardware control of the iOS device.

Thank you,
Paulo

We removed this class for VLCKit 3.0 because we didn't see the use, however this is not finalized yet and we are open for suggestions. We would be very happy about your patch

Hi,
Ok. Will provide the patch until tomorrow.
It changes the audiounit_ios module from C-file to M-file. This way, it removes some deprecated methods.
Thank you

Hi, sorry for the delay. I have been overwhelmed by work and could not write this patch. Will do as soon as I can.
Thank you

No worries, looking forward to it!

Hi, I've sent the patch to enable audio mute for VLC library. How should I send a patch to VLCKit now that it has been moved to videolan Gitlab.

with this i'll be able to mute one video if for example i have two playing at same time?

Yes. A Patch to MobileVLCKit will also be needed.

Hello,

I'll merge your patch in a few minutes once it completed my tests.

For the VLCKit patch, feel free to send it either to the iOS mailing-list or vlc-devel. We will enable pull requests on code.v.o later this year, but this is not done yet.

Thanks for your work!

What's the status of VLCAudio? I also develop iOS app that plays several videos simultaneously. And it requires not only muting one of them but also controlling their volume independently. Is this doable right now? Or will it be possible in the future?

Volume setting is not supported in the iOS audio output module - in our own use-case we rely on system volume so this was never a priority to us. Should be easy to add though, patch welcome

FYI, mute was recently added by a forum contributor.

Mute doesn't work for me (I'm using couple weeks old vlckit build - that's probably the reason).
Haven't really touched vlc sources yet. Would appreciate any hints on starting point for this.
