Stream/Frame information in VLC

[amitabhaghosh]

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post my question, if so, I apologize, if not, it will be great to have some pointers.

I am trying to look for the code in VLC (1.1.7) where I can see/extract stream or frame related information, i.e, I want to know the frame type, size, deadlines, etc. I have browsed through many files in several directories, but I was unable to pin point where exactly this functionality resides. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Amitabh

did you look at the vlcinfo project in libvlc-demo git?

[amitabhaghosh]

Thanks, I cloned the libvlc-demos project using git. It has two directories: vlcinfo and webcam. Is there a documentation on what this project does (or what the files contain), or how I can compile these files? Is this treated as a separate module in VLC and need to be compiled with VLC. Sorry, if my questions sound too naive, but will be very helpful if you could point me to the right direction.

Ok, I got some handle on the files that are in libvlc-demos, and a rough idea on what they do (extracts media, track information, ..). How do I compile these files?

thanks,

Figured out myself qmake to generate the Makefile, and then make..!! Pretty cool.
