The configuration of VLC SDK in VS2010 and simple use example

1. Download vlc-2.2.0-win32.7z from http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html and unzip;

2. Create a new vlctest console project;

3. Add the/vlc-2.2.0-win32/vlc-2.2.0/sdk/include to the project properties,-->general-C + + Additional Include directories;

4. Copy the Libvlc.lib, Libvlc.dll, Libvlccore.lib, Libvlccore.dll and plugins directories in the/vlc-2.2.0-win32/vlc-2.2.0/to the project execution directory;

5. The code for each file in the Vlctest project is:

StdAfx.h:

#pragma once#include "targetver.h" #include <stdio.h> #include <time.h> #include <windows.h> #include <vlc/vlc.h>

Stdafx.cpp:

#include "stdafx.h" #ifdef _debug#pragma comment (lib, "... /.. /.. /lib/dbg/x86_vc10/libvlc.lib ") #pragma comment (lib,". /.. /.. /lib/dbg/x86_vc10/libvlccore.lib ") #else #pragma comment (lib," ... /.. /.. /lib/rel/x86_vc10/libvlc.lib ") #pragma comment (lib,". /.. /.. /lib/rel/x86_vc10/libvlccore.lib ") #endif

VLCtest.cpp:

#include "stdafx.h" #include <iostream>using namespace std;void test1 () {libvlc_instance_t* vlc_ins = null;libvlc_ media_player_t* Vlc_player = null;libvlc_media_t* Vlc_media = Null;const char* vlc_args[] = {"-I", "dummy", "--ignore-con  Fig ","--extraintf=logger ","--verbose=2 "}; To create a VLC instance, the release version here will crashvlc_ins = libvlc_new (sizeof (Vlc_args)/sizeof (Vlc_args[0]), Vlc_args); if (vlc_ins! = NULL) {//Create a VLC player Vlc_player = libvlc_media_player_new (Vlc_ins), if (vlc_player! = NULL) {//Create a media instance via file path Vlc_media = Libvlc_media_new_path (Vlc_ins, "F:\\photo\\wp_20140405_002.mp4"), if (vlc_media! = NULL) {//Parse Media instance Libvlc_media_parse (vlc_media);//Gets the playback length of the media file, returns mslibvlc_time_t duration = Libvlc_media_get_duration (vlc_media);// Here is the capture media containing multiple video and audio tracks as well as other types of track information libvlc_media_track_info_t* media_tracks = null;int Trackcount = libvlc_media_get_tracks  _info (Vlc_media, &media_tracks);//Here is the release of memory, but I test the time there will be problems, have not carefully studied why//free (media_tracks); crash?//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 Libvlc_media_player_play (vlc_player);//This is just to print some information out, 20 seconds after exiting time_t last_time = time ( NULL), while ((Time (NULL) < (Last_time +)) {Sleep (10);//get current playback position libvlc_time_t Play_time = Libvlc_media_player_get _time (Vlc_player);p rintf ("Playing time:%lld ms\r", (__int64) (play_time));//Get the state of the media//libvlc_state_t media_state = Libvlc_media_get_state (Vlc_media);//printf ("\nmedia State:%d\n", (int) (media_state));} Libvlc_media_player_stop (Vlc_player);//Stop Libvlc_media_release (Vlc_media);//Release}libvlc_media_player_release (vlc_ player);//Release}libvlc_release (vlc_ins);//Release}}void test2 () {libvlc_instance_t* inst;libvlc_media_player_t* mp;libvlc_ media_t* m;//init VLC modules, should be do only onceinst = libvlc_new (0, NULL);//create a new Itemm = Libvlc_media_new_ Path (Inst, "F:\\photo\\wp_20140405_002.mp4");//create a media player playing environmentmp = Libvlc_media_plaYer_new_from_media (m); Libvlc_media_parse (m); libvlc_time_t duration = Libvlc_media_get_duration (m);//no need to keep  The media nowlibvlc_media_release (m); #if 0//this is a non working code then show how to hooks into a window,//if we have a Window around//libvlc_drawable_t drawable = xdrawable;//or on windowsvoid *drawable = &g_hwnd;libvlc_media_player_ Set_hwnd (MP, drawable), #endif//Play the Media_playerlibvlc_media_player_play (MP); Sleep ((DWORD) duration); Let it play a bit//stop playinglibvlc_media_player_stop (MP);//Free The Media_playerlibvlc_media_player_release (MP); Libvlc_release (inst);} int main (int argc, char* argv[]) {//test1 (); Test2 ();cout<< "ok!" <<endl;return 0;}

6. after testing, test1 () and Test2 () in the debug mode can be normal operation, under release will be crash, are executed to the Libvlc_new function there is a problem, the specific reasons are unclear, the latter will be further analyzed.

The above test code comes from:
