2.0 libvlc.dll New Error

[spider58]

Previous version is working good but today i tried new libvlc, libvlccore and plugins and AXVlcPlugin

same libvlc configuration does working with previous dlls but doesn't working with new dlls.
New version does not playing videos, musics etc.

I've tried to add AxVLCPlugin 2.0 into my form and doesn't playing this plugin too.

Inadvance thanks

Im changing dll files and plugin directory with old dll files and old plugin directory. And does work good(no changing any code, only changing files). With New dlls and pluings directory doesn't working. Giving no error.

Is there anybody usind VLC 2.0.0 DLLs and plugins directory?

My wrapper and software use libvlc 1.1.11. I tried it with the libvlc 2.0 dll and plugins and it worked without errors. I do not use ActiveX, but as far as I can tell for libvlc it is a drop-in replacement.

I stopped using it for now however because it displayed occasional (every minute or so) annoying glitches and macro-blocking while playing fairly low bitrate videos from a network file share (over wi-fi). The 1.1 versions do not have this issue. I did note that the picture quality seemed somewhat improved however.

Hi I have the same problem with libvlc 2.0. I just switched the libvlc.dll and libvlccore.dll und link against the new libvlc.lib and now the libvlc_new-Call always returns NULL.

That's my libvlc_new-Call that worked with the previous version.

Code: Select all

const char * const vlc_args[] = { "--reset-plugins-cache", "--no-stats", "--no-osd", "--no-video-title-show", "--plugin-path=C:\Programme\VideoLAN\VLC\plugins"}; if ( ( vlcObject = libvlc_new ( sizeof(vlc_args) / sizeof(vlc_args[0]), vlc_args) ) == NULL ) { qDebug("Could not init libVLC"); }

Any ideas? How do you call libvlc_new? Do I need some new arguments?

Thanks!

So I found it The --plugin-path command line option was removed and the path can now be changed with the VLC_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable. After I set this variable the playback worked again.

thanks for reply man. But didn't worked for me. My code below and plugins directory in application dirrectory. Old dlls and plugins working good

Code: Select all

system.environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("VLC_PLUGIN_PATH", application.startuppath & "\plugins");

[jobeagle]

The setting of VLC_PLUGIN_PATH as a system environment variable (windows vista) didn't work for me either!
(the "--plugin-path=C:\Programme\VideoLAN\VLC\plugins" parameter works for version 1.1.11 and sadly not for 2.0)

I use the following code:

Code: Select all

debug.print("debug: plugin-path:" + System.getenv("VLC_PLUGIN_PATH")); vlcparams = new String[] { "-vvv", "--reset-plugins-cache", "--no-video-title-show"}; try { vlcinst = libvlc.libvlc_new(vlcparams.length, vlcparams); } catch (UnsatisfiedLinkError e1) { debug.print(Messages.getString("vlc_nicht_gefunden")); }

and i get the following messages:

any ideas?

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

It's working fine there. You input MRL is invalid though.

[jobeagle]

Thanks for your answer.
But if i go back to VLC 1.1.11 (only rename c:\programme\VideoLAN to c:\programme\VideoLAN2 and c:\programme\VideoLAN1 to c:\programme\VideoLAN) it works (shows video) and back to Version 2 it doesn't work.

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

I don't see any contradiction with what I said. The behaviour with invalid MRL's is undefined, so it might change from version to version.

Thanx for your answer. Version 2 of libvlc.dll now shows the video if i use the right MRL.
But now i have the next problem:
I use Marquee texts and with the new version the text is only shortly displayed and i get the error:
main video output error: vlc_object_find_name("marq") is not safe!
With version 1.1.11 this was only a warning but now its an error and only the first text is shortly displayed and the following marquee-texts are not shown.
Any ideas?

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

It could be many things, but it's probably nothing to do with the error message. Someone should investigate what broke.

[jobeagle]

The problem with Marqee-Text already exists in Version 2.01

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

That should not come as a surprise. "someone" is well known not to be very (pro)active when it comes to fixing bugs. Patch welcome.

[rayner_pupo]

jobeagle: What you mean with

Thanx for your answer. Version 2 of libvlc.dll now shows the video if i use the right MRL.

I have the same issue you have but I cant see the way to fix the MRL can you help me please?

[jobeagle]

That should not come as a surprise. "someone" is well known not to be very (pro)active when it comes to fixing bugs. Patch welcome.

Now i tried the last nightly build of 2.1.0 but the problem still exists. I think we need to open a ticket about this error?

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

No. You don't need to open a ticket, you need to provide a fix.

You can open a ticket (anyway), but that will not get the bug fixed.

[rayner_pupo]

I gave the same error but change my code and use libvlc_media_new_path instead of libvlc_media_new_location setting up the media.

[jobeagle]

Is it possible that the problem with marquee-texts exists because of the removing of the "marq"-module?

After the shorttime displaying of the marquee-text i get the following debugmessages from version 2.1.0:

Code: Select all

[0cbd42c0] direct3d vout display debug: Created 136x194 texture for OSD [0caec908] main subpicture debug: Filter 0cbdb340 removed from chain [0cbdb340] main filter debug: removing module "marq"

The last line is missing if i use an older 1.1.x version!

[tittbit]

i am watching from months, vlc faces may problems in their new versions.


vlc must first release the beta version of their products,


does vlc team has not a panel of testers, i mean who can analyze and verify any problem

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

Actually no. LibVLC has no testers that I am aware of. Note that VLC developers and other active community members only test the VLC media player, not the whole LibVLC API set.

Every LibVLC application developer seem to expect that someone else will do the LibVLC alpha and beta tests. And so nobody tests, and everybody hits the bugs when the release is already out.

[tservettaz]

Hello!

ON my delphi project, I'm trying to disable the title-show on osd with this parameters:

no-osd and --no-video-title-show.

libvlc_media_add_option(media, "no-video-title-show")

It is working well with vlc 1.1.9 but not at all with 2.0 version.

Does anyone know why?

Thank you very much for your answer
