Video overlay with libvlc

Postby suspension » 16 Apr 2015 18:37

I would like to draw various things such as controls for play control, informational text, a scroll bars as an overlay to the video. Since I am new to libvlc, I like to get some expert advice on the recomended way to acheive this with latest livblc.

What you draw around and on top of the LibVLC video window is the realm of your application. LibVLC has nothing to do with it.

I assume the stuff I want to draw will have to use opengl. Is that the case still?

Look to https://github.com/RSATom/QmlVlc and https://github.com/RSATom/QmlVlcDemo and http://WebChimera.org/ then.
WebChimera is based on QmlVlc and thus all you can see in demos section on WebChimera site could be done with QmlVlc too.
