Using libvlccore inside a libvlc application

[afiestas]

Hi!
Is there any example or tutorial of how to mess libvlccore and libvlc? I know this is tricky but afaik if I want to modify vars without restart the player (use var_Set) I need it.

Thanks !

Code: Select all

struct vlc_object_t *libvlc_get_vlc_instance(libvlc_instance_t *p_instance);

returns the internal VLC main object. After that you can use most libvlccore functions.

Thanks!
I can change the brightness now :p

I needed to define the macro typeof myself because seems that it's not available in g++ (4.3.1) basically what I did is an alias typeof->__typeof__
#define typeof(X) __typeof__(X)

Once again thanks!

One more question: Is possible to add/remove filters using libvlccore?

I've tried it by many ways but I have not found the right one :/ for example I tried vout_EnableFilter (vout == video output right?)

Thanks!

Ps: Wow! I just saw
[16:49] <CIA-80> Rémi Denis-Courmont master include/vlc_common.h: Use __typeof__ which works with any GNU C profile, not like typeof

That was fast!

Well after a bit of research I'm able to add/remove effects, thx for the help!

One small question which remains in my mind is what is the right way of get "video output" object, at the moment I'm using vlc_list_children because vlc_object_find_name is not working :/ any tip on that?

Thx again!

input_GetVout() is the recommended way to get the video output.
