Multiple instance VLC managenment

[abhimaan]

I have successfully created Multiple instance of VLC player using the recent merged code.I have problem managing life cycle of vlc .ie when the android activity goes to onpause and onresume the vlc player stops rendering video and surface on which video was rendering is blank.

Can anyone point me what am i missing?

The below is the sample code of my custom VLC player using libvlc for android project

Code: Select all

mLibVLC = new LibVLC(VLCOptions.getLibOptions(pref)); mLibVLC.setOnHardwareAccelerationError(this); mMediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(mLibVLC); Media media = new Media(mLibVLC, url); VLCOptions.setMediaOptions(media, 0); mMediaPlayer.setMedia(media); media.release(); mMediaPlayer.setEqualizer(VLCOptions.getEqualizer()); mMediaPlayer.setAudioOutput(VLCOptions.getAout(pref)); mMediaPlayer.getVLCVout().setVideoView(surfaceView); mMediaPlayer.getVLCVout().setCallback(this); mMediaPlayer.getVLCVout().attachViews();

You have one mLibVLC but multiple mMediaPlayer ?

No no for every libvlc I have a single media player. ie multiple libvlc multiple mediaplayer

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

You should have one VLC and many media players.

So, now it's possible to have multiple videoview in same activity using libvlc for Android ?

@jean-Baptiste Kempf so you means one libvlc instance is sufficient for multiple media player instance?

[abhimaan]
