Here is another one for someone who want to use xcb.
BTW
I found that libvlc embedded media player uses xcb ( modules/video_output/xcb/window.c ) but libvlc_media_player.h exposes only few functions for window manipulation. Using native xcb you can do almost everything.
The quality of the code is not brilliant but it's a good entry point for further coding.
Code: Select all
#include <string>
#include <vlc/vlc.h>
#include <xcb/xcb.h>
// link -lvlc, -lX11, -lxcb
int main( int argc, char** argv) {
// XCB
xcb_connection_t *connection = xcb_connect (NULL, NULL);
const xcb_setup_t *setup = xcb_get_setup (connection);
xcb_screen_iterator_t iter = xcb_setup_roots_iterator (setup);
xcb_screen_t *screen = iter.data;
// Create Window
xcb_window_t xcb_window = xcb_generate_id (connection);
xcb_create_window (connection, /* Connection */
XCB_COPY_FROM_PARENT, /* depth (same as root)*/
xcb_window, /* window Id */
screen->root, /* parent window */
0, 0, /* x, y */
1, 1, /* width, height */
1, /* border_width */
XCB_WINDOW_CLASS_INPUT_OUTPUT, /* class */
screen->root_visual, /* visual */
0, NULL ); /* masks, not used yet */
// Set window name
const std::string wtitle("WindowName");
xcb_change_property (connection,
XCB_PROP_MODE_REPLACE,
xcb_window,
XCB_ATOM_WM_NAME,
XCB_ATOM_STRING,
8,
wtitle.size(),
wtitle.c_str() );
// Resize window
const static uint32_t values[] = { 1280, 720 };
xcb_configure_window (connection,
xcb_window,
XCB_CONFIG_WINDOW_WIDTH | XCB_CONFIG_WINDOW_HEIGHT,
values);
xcb_map_window (connection, xcb_window);
xcb_flush (connection);
// LibVLC
libvlc_instance_t * inst;
libvlc_media_player_t *mp;
libvlc_media_t *m;
inst = libvlc_new (argc, argv);
m = libvlc_media_new_path (inst, "YouMovie.mp4");
mp = libvlc_media_player_new_from_media (m);
libvlc_media_release (m);
// attatch xcb_window to libvlc player
libvlc_media_player_set_xwindow (mp, xcb_window);
libvlc_media_player_play (mp);
// xcb simple event loop
xcb_generic_event_t* event;
while((event = xcb_wait_for_event(connection)))
{
switch((*event).response_type & ~0x80)
{
case XCB_EXPOSE:
break;
case XCB_CLIENT_MESSAGE: {
// window has been closed
break;
}
}
}
// stop
libvlc_media_player_stop (mp);
libvlc_media_player_release (mp);
libvlc_release (inst);
xcb_disconnect (connection);
return 0;
}
