Qt MacOsx video not visible

[amn]

i'm trying to use vlc4.0 (libvlc and libvlcpp) with Qt(5.14) clang under MacOsx(10.15)
i tried several methods, and i would like some informations about solve them

from https://github.com/videolan/vlc, compilation run fine
that extract libvlc.12.dylib, libvlccore.9.dylib, and /plugins/*/

a) There are two examples of use
i) vlc/doc/libvlc/QtGL
at run time, there is 2 error log messages, the second make crash:
QOpenGLShader::compile(Fragment): ERROR: 0:9: ';' : syntax error: syntax error
Assertion failed: (psz_mrl), function InputSourceInit, file vlc/extras/package/macosx/../../../src/input/input.c, line 2568.
>>> Question : Should we insist in this direction, and if so, how?

ii) vlc/doc/libvlc/QtPlayer
X11 is necessary (from https://www.xquartz.org/)
integraton resumed : libvlc_media_player_set_nsobject(vlcPlayer, (void *)videoWidget->winId());
at excecution, I have the following error:
dyld: Symbol not found: _gll_noop
Referenced from: /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/OpenGL
that I solve by copying the dylib missing in Contents/ (Frameworks/ [with Frameworks/plugins/] and PlugIns/)

then, with

Code: Select all

vlcInstance = libvlc_new(0, NULL); (in player.cpp)

video is playing (I hear the sound) but nothing is displayed, black screen :

Code: Select all

>>> Question : Why the video is not showing?

and with,

Code: Select all

const char * const vlc_args[] = { "--verbose=4" ,"--vout=macosx" //,"--no-plugins-cache" }; vlcInstance = libvlc_new(sizeof(vlc_args) / sizeof(*vlc_args), vlc_args);

video is playing (I hear the sound) but nothing is displayed, black screen again :

>>> Question : "--vout=macosx" does not seem to work, what initialization should be specified for a correct vault?

b) Integration into my own project works (without X11), but nothing is displayed, black screen again.
Changing @rpath of 2 libraries to be compatible with my tree structure

I hear the video sound, and I receive the events, but vlcdebug says :

>>> Question : how to correctly create _videoWidget and view the video?

thanks for your help.

Forgotten to tell you, the b) point is build with libvlcpp (https://code.videolan.org/videolan/libvlcpp)

[amn]

also trying, but obtain the same black screen:

Code: Select all

NSView *video = [[NSView alloc] init]; QMacCocoaViewContainer *container = new QMacCocoaViewContainer(video, _videoWidget); _mp->setNsobject(video);

or:

Code: Select all

NSView *nsview = ( __bridge NSView * )reinterpret_cast<void *>( windid ); _mp->setNsobject(nsview);

[amn]

With this code :

Code: Select all

NSWindow *window = [[[NSApplication sharedApplication] windows] objectAtIndex:0]; NSView *contentView = [window contentView]; NSView *test = [[NSView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,150,150)]; [test setWantsLayer:YES]; test.layer.backgroundColor=NSColor.blueColor.CGColor; [contentView addSubview:test positioned:NSWindowAbove relativeTo:nil]; _mp->setNsobject(test); [test release];

I see a blue square, so NSView is correctly initialized, but the video is again not visible.
