VLC URL Scheme callback

[cdhknetz]

Dear friend,

thanks for the good VLC player. I see the VLC has the URL Scheme which could be called by another APP or just Safari, so i want to "intergrate" it into my website, and now from my site to VLC goes well.

But I want to return back to my APP, so the URL does not support callback? Could you please complete it?

thanks in advance.

Patches welcome. I have no idea how to implement such a thing in a correct way.

Dear,

I have no ios dev-enviroment, but another friend give me the document for this purpose(contains also the sample codes), see below:

http://x-callback-url.com/

[fkuehne]

Good point, thanks for the reminder. I'll check that!

[fkuehne]

Just for your interest, the next version of VLC for iOS will add support for a proper URL scheme callback based on x-callback-url

[cdhknetz]

Good news!

I am waiting for that...

could you kindly tell us when the upgrade should happen?

thanks for your effort!!

As soon as VLC for iOS is back on the app store, this change will be in. Regrettably, I can't say when that will be.

Felix-

Was it pulled for compatibility reasons with ios 8 and the new big screen iphones? Or was there another reason it was pulled?

Dear Felix Paul Kühne

i see the new version is published. Could u tell us the URL rules in details? how can we return to the source APPs?

thanks very much

[fkuehne]

There is no new app from us available on the app store. If you are referring to "VLC streamming player" or something like, it's a clone I'm taking down right now.

Details on the new callback scheme are detailed in https://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc-ports/i ... ob;f=NEWS;

That is great news Felix Paul Kuehne. It scared me when VLC disappeared form the app store with no explanation. I know y'all don't get paid enough to issue press releases, but the lack of information regarding its absence was alarming. To be frank, if there is no VLC for iOS8, I will not be getting a iPhone 6.

Love you guys. Keep up the great work.

[fkuehne]

There will be a VLC for iOS 8. The code is done. I just can't tell yet when it will be out. And sorry for the lack of info on this matter. There are serious reasons why we are calm.

Dear,

today i see the new VLC version which supports the URL Scheme callback, and i test it, the result is:

My hyperlink is:
<a href="vlc-x-callback://x-callback-url/stream?url=rtsp://user:pass@111.222.1.2:554/h264/ch1/sub/av_stream&x-success=myapp://com.my.app?openurl=http://www.google.com">VLC2.4.1---</a>

the stream video can be opened successfully, can click "done" i can also return back. But the problem is when i return back, the link "http://www.google.com" can not be opened.

In my APP the "openurl=xxx"flag is used to open URL action when i return back, and if we use "openurl=" (leave blank URL) the back action should be the last opened page.

please check it,

thanks

[fkuehne]

Do you correctly escape your success URL?

[cdhknetz]

Ofcourse, i have already used the same callback URL in other apps.

[fkuehne]

Please send me your full URL in a private message so I can try to reproduce your issue.

[cdhknetz]

hello

the message has been sent to you.

thanks in advance

[fkuehne]

Thanks!

[cdhknetz]

Hello,

did you test my URL callback?

I have used the newest version 2.5.0, but the callback url is not rightly worked. the x-success parameter can be used just open the other APP, but not the APP-website.
