Video playback demo based on LIBVLC (VLC SDK)

As a result of the internship program, a recent study of VLC Media player, which originated from an academic project in École Centrale Paris (Central Polytechnic School), was named VIDEOLAN,VLC VideoLAN Client. Later developed into a non-profit organization composed of volunteers to develop and provide free, open source multimedia solutions.

My job is to use the developer tools provided by the player LIBVLC to implement a feature-customized media player that uses the C + + language.

In the process of exploring several blogs, but also refer to the official introduction of the tutorial, so that the code is not a problem. The problem for me is how to configure the development environment for VLC.

After several toss, finally found a feasible solution, the following steps to explain.

Step 0:

Download the latest software installation package on the VLC official website;

Links: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html

Remember the installation directory and locate the SDK folder;

　　　　

Step 1:

Create a new WIN32 console application (I am under Visual Studio 2012);

　　　　

Simple setup

　　　　

Step 2:

In the Project property settings page, add the Include directory;

　　　　

Create a new row containing the directory;

　　　　

Select the Include folder under the SDK folder;

　　　　

Similarly, add the library directory, the path is the Lib folder under the SDK folder, set as follows;

　　　　

Set additional dependencies;

　　　　

Add two library files vlclib.lib, vlclibcore.lib;

　　　　

　　　　

Step 3:

Create a new source file, type the source code;

A                 //Free (media_tracks); //crash? the  +                 //set the open media file to the player - Libvlc_media_player_set_media (Vlc_player, vlc_media); $  $                 //because it is a Windows system, it is necessary to set an HWND to the player as a window, here directly using the Desktop window, here is only the test - Libvlc_media_player_set_hwnd (Vlc_player,:: GetDesktopWindow ()); -                 //start playing video the Libvlc_media_player_play (vlc_player); - Wuyi                 //This is just to print some information and exit after 20 seconds . thetime_t Last_time =Time (NULL); -                  while((Time (NULL) < (Last_time + $))) Wu                 { -Sleep (Ten); About                     //get current playback position $libvlc_time_t Play_time =Libvlc_media_player_get_time (vlc_player); -printf"playing time:%lld ms\r", (__int64) (play_time)); -  -                     //get the status of media A                     //libvlc_state_t media_state = libvlc_media_get_state (Vlc_media); +                     //printf ("\nmedia State:%d\n", (int) (media_state)); the                 } -                 //Stop $ libvlc_media_player_stop (vlc_player); the                 //Release the libvlc_media_release (vlc_media); the             } the             //Release - libvlc_media_player_release (vlc_player); in         } the         //Release the libvlc_release (vlc_ins); About     } the     return 0; the}

Step 4:

The "core LIBVLC Error:no plugin found" error occurs when you run the code. Also need to manually import VLC plugin folder;

Go to VLC installation path: C:\Program Files (x86) \videolan\vlc\, copy the plugin folder below to the Debug folder of the VS project;

　　　　

It may also be necessary to copy the Libvlc.dll and Libvlccore.dll in the VLC installation directory to the project debug path, such as the basket frame;

At this point, the setup is complete, the project is running, the local video under the specified path can be played normally.
