VLC music tags (meta)

Postby neonp » 05 Mar 2014 06:42

Hi all,

I am trying to understand how VLC gets music information. When I have a look at the messages, it says 0 ID3 tag found but, when I display the music information, I have many information. When using libvlc, I get no information at all.

Anything I am missing ?

Thanks for your help.

Did you try parsing the media first?

Code: Select all

libvlc_media_parse

Well, ID3 tags work through libvlc for me so I have no idea what could be wrong.

Yes, but as I told, when I display the messages in VLC, it tells me no ID3 were found. My question is more about where does vlc look for information, and is this way to retrieve info available in libvlc ?

As far as I know, LibVLC provides no way to get anything like that other than via the meta-data functions. You can scour the Doxygen documentation - or indeed the source code - to see if there's another way, but I don't think you'll find anything.
