Render LibVLC to SharpDX texture

[mystery123sk]

Hi,

is there a way to render video using LibVLC directly to Texture2D, which could be used in my own scene in SharpDX? I know there is a way using vmem, but that's CPU involved leading into lower performance.

I'm not a professional, but I suppose there is a different directx device context in LibVLC and SharpDX, so some kind of copy might be inevitable.

Hi,

Yes, it is possible: https://code.videolan.org/mfkl/LibVLCSharp/-/blob/d3d-texture/Samples/LibVLCSharp.D3DCallbacks/Program.cs

Note that the code above isn't up to date to latest libvlc 4 (which you need, libvlc 3 doesnt have this API). So you'll need to adjust the interop code in libvlcsharp/master. PR welcome.

Sounds great, will test it, thanks. Do you think it’s already ok to use version 4?

Do you think it’s already ok to use version 4?

libvlc 4 is a development build, not a stable build.
