VlcKit 3 can't play hls stream wich was working with VlcKit 2.2.2

[ssaguiar]

I am working in a app wich plays hsl streams (m3u8).
I was using VlcKit 2.2.2 and it works, but as Apple will not aprouve as it have support for AC3. Because of that I am trying to make VlcKit 3 works.
I downloaded the master from https://code.videolan.org/videolan/VLCKit and compiled it.
I have added the resulting framework to my project but now it doesn't play anymore the streams.
It starts and stops even before having any image on screen.

I instantiate the vlc as:

Code: Select all

var mediaPlayer = VLCMediaPlayer(options: ["--verbose=9", "network-caching=20000", "--drop-late-frames", "--skip-frames", "--file-caching=10000"]) . . . /****************************************************************** / The state of vlc media player was changed *******************************************************************/ func mediaPlayerStateChanged(_ aNotification: Notification!) { let mediaState = mediaPlayer!.state switch(mediaState) { case .buffering: //< Stream is buffering print("buffering...") toggleActivityIndicator(true) break case .error: //< Player has generated an error print("error...") utils.Vibrate() toggleActivityIndicator(false) break case .playing: //< Stream is playing print("playing...") toggleActivityIndicator(false) break case .ended: //< Stream has ended print("ended...") break case .stopped: //< Player has stopped print("stopped...") break case .opening: //< Stream is opening print("opening...") break case .paused: //< Stream is paused print("paused...") break } if (mediaPlayer?.isPlaying)! { toggleActivityIndicator(false) } }

And to start playing:

Code: Select all

self.url = URL(string: urlvideo!) let media = VLCMedia(url: self.url!) self.mediaPlayer?.media = media self.mediaPlayer?.delegate = self self.mediaPlayer?.drawable = self.MovieView self.mediaPlayer?.play()

As I said, this code works fine in version 2.2.2, but not in 3.

All I get is:

buffering...
playing...
stopped...

I also tested downloading the version 3, wich I got from nighties (http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/iOS/) and it also does the same.
I tested with my links and links from https://bitmovin.com/mpeg-dash-hls-exam ... e-streams/
I also tested the links using the example app wich cames with the vlckit (SimplePlayback).

Any help would be apreciated.

Thanks

Test with the last macOS build.

It's the vlckit for ios (mobilevlckit), not macos.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

I understand what I'm asking, though.

Sorry, I don't.

Did you mean to use the latest MacOs to compile MobileVlcKit? If so, I am using latest one.
If you mean the MobileVlcKit compiled with latest MacOs from your servers, let me know the address, if possible.

Sorry be boring

Thanks
