How to get debug output from libVLC on iOS?

Postby oviano » 29 Nov 2016 13:45

I'm not using the framework, I've linked the static libraries into my application and I'm calling the C API.

It's working, but I need to debug something related to deinterlacing, and see which plugins it loads etc, but I don't get any debug output when running through the device using Xcode.

I've tried using the "-vvv" and "--verbose" options but they don't do anything.

If I try the "file-logging" option then ironically I do see a message from VLC in my output telling me it's not a valid option (which isn't a surprise as I read elsewhere that file logging isn't enabled).

But how do I get the rest of the debug to appear in my Xcode output? What's the secret sauce?

Thankyou, and sorry for not seeing that earlier. I was too preoccupied with the way I'm doing this on my Mac, Windows and Linux builds with "file-logging".

I'll adapt my code to use the logging interface instead for all platforms.

Hi, I was wondering if you could shared your pre-compiled libvlc library? I got libvlc on all platforms but struggling with iOS.
Your help would be very much appreciated! Thanks
