Embedded VLC into a C/C++ program

[5kinman]

Hi All,

I am trying to write a IPTV client running in Linux.
Can I embed the VLC into the program (Just like using VLC ActiveX plugin in Window) so that the client will not start a new instance of VLC?

Thx

Yes using libvlc.

[5kinman]

Thx for the reply.

Do you mean that I should add the libvlc to my project and just call the functions in the libvlc?

Yes.

I have installed the VLC 1.0.2 Goldeneye version at Ubuntu 9.10 beta.

But I can only find the libvlc file with extension .so , .so.2, .so.2.2.1 and etc..

Where can I find the appropriate library file for the software development?

BTW, is there any suggestion for the application development software? I am a new programmer in linux. Thx

The development files are obviously in the libvlc-dev package.
