LibVLC SampleCode Qt

2015-02-15T01:52:51Z

Arkan: /* How to use? */

This sample code will render a video into a Qt QWidget.

This was tested with vlc-0.9.9 and Qt 4.5.1 on WinXP and Linux

This was tested with vlc-1.1.9 and Qt 4.7.2 and Ubuntu 11.04

== How to use? ==

You need [[LibVLC|''libvlc headers'']] and ''Qt headers''.Take those 3 files, put them in a folder.
Run
qmake -project

Edit the .pro file and add
LIBS += -L*path to vlc lib* #if you are at windows os
LIBS += -lvlc

Run
qmake
and then
make or mingw32-make under a Windows OS

On win os you have to use the zip file. the lib and the header files are located in the sdk-folder.

== Notes ==

Depending on your distribution and the way you install Qt and Vlc it may be a good idea to reset the vlc's module cache:
sudo /usr/lib/vlc/vlc-cache-gen -f /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/
or:
vlc --reset-plugins-cache

== VLC 1.1.5 and Ubuntu Lucid ==
[Rafael Capucho<rafael.capucho@gmail.com> 20120713] Modified to include properly QX11EmbedContainer header that was missing.- tested ok

[Ondrej Spilka 20101201] slightly modified for the modest versions...
- X11 embed container have to be used, therefore QX11EmbedContainer rather than QFrame have to be used.- tested ok

LibVLC

2015-02-07T23:26:44Z

Arkan: Add more instructions to compile and use libVlc

{{Lowercase}}
The [[libVLC]] (VLC SDK) media framework can be embedded into an application to get multimedia capabilities.

Since VLC is based on [[libVLC]], one should be able to have the same features that {{VLC}} has.

The libVLC media framework is already used by several applications; see [[LibVLC_Users|who uses libVLC?]]

== Documentation ==

Please refer to the [http://www.videolan.org/developers/vlc/doc/doxygen/html/group__libvlc.html Doxygen documentation], which is the reference documentation.

''Make sure that the documentation matches the LibVLC version.'' (if not, you can build it from the source code)

Some further topics are covered here:

* [[LibVLC_Memory_Management| LibVLC Memory Management]] explained: covers the basics on the _new(), _retain(), _release().
* [[LibVLC_Media_List_Management| LibVLC Media List Management]] explained: covers the basics on setting up a playlist.
* [[GenerateLibFromDll|Generate a .lib for using libVLC on Windows]] (before libVLC 2.1.0)

== Compiling ==
To build LibVLC you need [[GetTheSource|VLC source code]] and follow [[Compile_VLC|VLC compilation instructions]] since LibVLC it is directly shipped in VLC source code. 
You will find headers in vlc-src/include/vlc and libvlc.so binaries in the ''hidden'' folder vlc-src/lib/.libs. 
When using your custom LibVLC build you will need to define the environment variable VLC_PLUGIN_PATH pointing to VLC modules located in vlc-src/modules.

== Examples ==

=== Playback ===
* [[LibVLC_Tutorial|Current version (1.1.x and later)]]
* Gtk Player: {{VLCSourceFile|name=doc/libvlc/gtk_player.c}}
* Qt Player: {{VLCSourceFile|name=doc/libvlc/QtPlayer}}
* WxWidgets Player: {{VLCSourceFile|name=doc/libvlc/wx_player.cpp}}

=== Rendering and streaming ===
* [[LibVLC_SampleCode_SDL|Use LibVLC in an SDL application]]
* [[Stream_to_memory_(smem)_tutorial| Stream into a memory zone]]
* Generate thumbnails using LibVLC: {{VLCSourceFile|name=doc/libvlc/vlc-thumb.c}}
* Quick DVD ripper: {{VLCSourceFile|name=doc/libvlc/libvlc_DVD_ripper.c}}

=== More complex examples ===

* [http://git.videolan.org/?p=libvlc-demos.git;a=tree;f=webcam;hb=HEAD Webcam / Cheese clone]

=== libVLC on Android ===
* [https://bitbucket.org/edwardcw/libvlc-android-sample LibVLC on Android sample]

=== VLCKit for Cocoa (iOS/MacOS) ===
You can find details on features and implementation on a [[VLCKit|designated page]].

LibVLC

2015-02-07T22:19:55Z

Arkan: correct path

{{Lowercase}}
The [[libVLC]] (VLC SDK) media framework can be embedded into an application to get multimedia capabilities.

Since VLC is based on [[libVLC]], one should be able to have the same features that {{VLC}} has.

The libVLC media framework is already used by several applications; see [[LibVLC_Users|who uses libVLC?]]

== Documentation ==

Please refer to the [http://www.videolan.org/developers/vlc/doc/doxygen/html/group__libvlc.html Doxygen documentation], which is the reference documentation.

''Make sure that the documentation matches the LibVLC version.'' (if not, you can build it from the source code)

Some further topics are covered here:

* [[LibVLC_Memory_Management| LibVLC Memory Management]] explained: covers the basics on the _new(), _retain(), _release().
* [[LibVLC_Media_List_Management| LibVLC Media List Management]] explained: covers the basics on setting up a playlist.
* [[GenerateLibFromDll|Generate a .lib for using libVLC on Windows]] (before libVLC 2.1.0)

== Compiling ==
To build LibVLC you need [[GetTheSource|VLC source code]] and follow [[Compile_VLC|VLC compilation instructions]] since LibVLC it is directly shipped in VLC source code. 
You will find headers in vlc-src/include/vlc and libvlc.so binaries in the ''hidden'' folder vlc-src/lib/.libs.

== Examples ==

=== Playback ===
* [[LibVLC_Tutorial|Current version (1.1.x and later)]]
* Gtk Player: {{VLCSourceFile|name=doc/libvlc/gtk_player.c}}
* Qt Player: {{VLCSourceFile|name=doc/libvlc/QtPlayer}}
* WxWidgets Player: {{VLCSourceFile|name=doc/libvlc/wx_player.cpp}}

=== Rendering and streaming ===
* [[LibVLC_SampleCode_SDL|Use LibVLC in an SDL application]]
* [[Stream_to_memory_(smem)_tutorial| Stream into a memory zone]]
* Generate thumbnails using LibVLC: {{VLCSourceFile|name=doc/libvlc/vlc-thumb.c}}
* Quick DVD ripper: {{VLCSourceFile|name=doc/libvlc/libvlc_DVD_ripper.c}}

=== More complex examples ===
* [http://git.videolan.org/?p=libvlc-demos.git;a=tree;f=vlcinfo;hb=HEAD MediaInfo clone]
* [http://git.videolan.org/?p=libvlc-demos.git;a=tree;f=webcam;hb=HEAD Webcam / Cheese clone]

=== libVLC on Android ===
* [https://bitbucket.org/edwardcw/libvlc-android-sample LibVLC on Android sample]

=== VLCKit for Cocoa (iOS/MacOS) ===
You can find details on features and implementation on a [[VLCKit|designated page]].

==== Mac OS X ====
* [http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc-bindings/VLCKit.git;a=tree;f=Examples_OSX/BasicPlayerWithPlaylist;hb=HEAD Simple playlist player for Mac OS X].
* [http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc-bindings/VLCKit.git;a=tree;f=Examples_OSX/iPodConverter;hb=HEAD iPod Converter for Mac OS X].
* [http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc-bindings/VLCKit.git;a=tree;f=Examples_OSX/FlashVideoDownloader;hb=HEAD Flash Video Downloader for Mac OS X].

==== iOS ====
* [http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc-bindings/VLCKit.git;a=tree;f=Examples_iOS/SimplePlayback;hb=HEAD Simple player for iOS].
* [http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc-bindings/VLCKit.git;a=tree;f=Examples_iOS/DropIn-Player;hb=HEAD Drop-in player for integration in iOS apps].

=== Outdated samples ===
* [[LibVLC_Tutorial_0.9|Versions 0.9.x and 1.0.x]]
* [[LibVLC_Tutorial_086c|Version 0.8.6]]
* [[LibVLC_Visual_C|Visual C++]] '' (uses "old" legacy API) ''
* [[IceVLCPlayer|VCL component for Delphi]] (out-of-date)

== Language & platform bindings ==
LibVLC is a C library. It has bindings to the following languages and frameworks:
* C++, using the C library
* The [[Web plugin]] for ActiveX (e.g. MSIE) and NPAPI (e.g. Firefox)
* [http://code.google.com/p/fbvlc/ FBVLC browser plugin]
* [[Mac OS X Framework|Objective-C for iOS and Mac OS]]
* [[PythonBinding|Python]]
* [http://phonon.kde.org/ Phonon (Qt/KDE) in C++]
* [[Java bindings]]

Arkan: correct indent

This page lists the libraries needed to have a fully featured {{VLC}}. The additional information in the table refers to the VLC contrib build system (located in extras/contrib in VLC 1.1; in contrib in VLC 2.0+). These versions are against the trunk version.

For information on how to compile {{VLC}} (including the contribs) on your platform see the [[Developers Corner|Build VLC media player]] box on the Developer Corner's page.

=== Usage ===
There are some very important dependencies:
'''gettext (NLS)''' for international support (required),
'''libdvbpsi''' for MPEG-TS files and streams support, libmad for MP3 audio decoding,
'''libmpeg2''' for MPEG1 and MPEG2 video support,
'''FFmpeg''' or '''libav''' (libavcodec, libavformat, libpostproc, libswscale and optionally libavio) for MPEG4 and most other audio and video codecs, and many file formats,
'''liba52''' for Dolby (AC3) sound,
'''dvdread''' and '''dvdnav''' for DVD playback,
'''live555''' for RTSP stream playback,
etc.

For audio output, you will need probably '''alsa-lib''' (on [[Linux]]) and/or '''libpulse''' (for [[PulseAudio]]).
For video output, you will normally need '''XCB/XVideo''' and/or '''OpenGL/GLX'''.
And '''Qt4''' is required to get the GUI support.

LibVLC

2015-02-07T21:47:58Z

Arkan: Adding pointers on how to get LibVlc source code and compile it.

{{Lowercase}}
The [[libVLC]] (VLC SDK) media framework can be embedded into an application to get multimedia capabilities.

Since VLC is based on [[libVLC]], one should be able to have the same features that {{VLC}} has.

The libVLC media framework is already used by several applications; see [[LibVLC_Users|who uses libVLC?]]

== Documentation ==

Please refer to the [http://www.videolan.org/developers/vlc/doc/doxygen/html/group__libvlc.html Doxygen documentation], which is the reference documentation.

''Make sure that the documentation matches the LibVLC version.'' (if not, you can build it from the source code)

Some further topics are covered here:

* [[LibVLC_Memory_Management| LibVLC Memory Management]] explained: covers the basics on the _new(), _retain(), _release().
* [[LibVLC_Media_List_Management| LibVLC Media List Management]] explained: covers the basics on setting up a playlist.
* [[GenerateLibFromDll|Generate a .lib for using libVLC on Windows]] (before libVLC 2.1.0)

== Compiling ==
To build LibVLC you need [[GetTheSource|VLC source code]] and follow [[Compile_VLC|VLC compilation instructions]] since LibVLC it is directly shipped in VLC source code. 
You will find headers in vlc-src/include/vlc and .so binaries in the ''hidden'' folder vlc-src/bin/.lib.

== Examples ==

=== Playback ===
* [[LibVLC_Tutorial|Current version (1.1.x and later)]]
* Gtk Player: {{VLCSourceFile|name=doc/libvlc/gtk_player.c}}
* Qt Player: {{VLCSourceFile|name=doc/libvlc/QtPlayer}}
* WxWidgets Player: {{VLCSourceFile|name=doc/libvlc/wx_player.cpp}}

=== Rendering and streaming ===
* [[LibVLC_SampleCode_SDL|Use LibVLC in an SDL application]]
* [[Stream_to_memory_(smem)_tutorial| Stream into a memory zone]]
* Generate thumbnails using LibVLC: {{VLCSourceFile|name=doc/libvlc/vlc-thumb.c}}
* Quick DVD ripper: {{VLCSourceFile|name=doc/libvlc/libvlc_DVD_ripper.c}}

=== More complex examples ===
* [http://git.videolan.org/?p=libvlc-demos.git;a=tree;f=vlcinfo;hb=HEAD MediaInfo clone]
* [http://git.videolan.org/?p=libvlc-demos.git;a=tree;f=webcam;hb=HEAD Webcam / Cheese clone]

=== libVLC on Android ===
* [https://bitbucket.org/edwardcw/libvlc-android-sample LibVLC on Android sample]

=== VLCKit for Cocoa (iOS/MacOS) ===
You can find details on features and implementation on a [[VLCKit|designated page]].

==== Mac OS X ====
* [http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc-bindings/VLCKit.git;a=tree;f=Examples_OSX/BasicPlayerWithPlaylist;hb=HEAD Simple playlist player for Mac OS X].
* [http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc-bindings/VLCKit.git;a=tree;f=Examples_OSX/iPodConverter;hb=HEAD iPod Converter for Mac OS X].
* [http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc-bindings/VLCKit.git;a=tree;f=Examples_OSX/FlashVideoDownloader;hb=HEAD Flash Video Downloader for Mac OS X].

==== iOS ====
* [http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc-bindings/VLCKit.git;a=tree;f=Examples_iOS/SimplePlayback;hb=HEAD Simple player for iOS].
* [http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc-bindings/VLCKit.git;a=tree;f=Examples_iOS/DropIn-Player;hb=HEAD Drop-in player for integration in iOS apps].

=== Outdated samples ===
* [[LibVLC_Tutorial_0.9|Versions 0.9.x and 1.0.x]]
* [[LibVLC_Tutorial_086c|Version 0.8.6]]
* [[LibVLC_Visual_C|Visual C++]] '' (uses "old" legacy API) ''
* [[IceVLCPlayer|VCL component for Delphi]] (out-of-date)

== Language & platform bindings ==
LibVLC is a C library. It has bindings to the following languages and frameworks:
* C++, using the C library
* The [[Web plugin]] for ActiveX (e.g. MSIE) and NPAPI (e.g. Firefox)
* [http://code.google.com/p/fbvlc/ FBVLC browser plugin]
* [[Mac OS X Framework|Objective-C for iOS and Mac OS]]
* [[PythonBinding|Python]]
* [http://phonon.kde.org/ Phonon (Qt/KDE) in C++]
* [[Java bindings]]
* [http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc-ports/android.git;a=shortlog libVLC android Java]
* [http://github.com/jteeuwen/go-vlc GO]
* [http://github.com/RSATom/QmlVlc QmlVlc] - Qt 5 QML binding
* [http://projects.tano.si/vlc-qt VLC-Qt] - Qt bindings
* [[wxVLCBackend|wxWidgets MediaCtrl backend]] also in C++
* [[Using libvlc with Delphi]]
* [http://sourceforge.net/projects/paslibvlc/ Pascal/Delphi]
* .Net / CIL
* [[ActiveX]] with the built-in VLC browser plugin for MSIE (obsolete)

This page lists the libraries needed to have a fully featured {{VLC}}. The additional information in the table refers to the VLC contrib build system (located in extras/contrib in VLC 1.1; in contrib in VLC 2.0+). These versions are against the trunk version.

For information on how to compile {{VLC}} (including the contribs) on your platform see the [[Developers Corner|Build VLC media player]] box on the Developer Corner's page.

=== Usage ===
There are some very important dependencies:
'''gettext (NLS)''' for international support (required),
'''libdvbpsi''' for MPEG-TS files and streams support, libmad for MP3 audio decoding,
'''libmpeg2''' for MPEG1 and MPEG2 video support,
'''FFmpeg''' or '''libav''' (libavcodec, libavformat, libpostproc, libswscale and optionally libavio) for MPEG4 and most other audio and video codecs, and many file formats,
'''liba52''' for Dolby (AC3) sound,
'''dvdread''' and '''dvdnav''' for DVD playback,
'''live555''' for RTSP stream playback,
etc.

For audio output, you will need probably '''alsa-lib''' (on [[Linux]]) and/or '''libpulse''' (for [[PulseAudio]]).
For video output, you will normally need '''XCB/XVideo''' and/or '''OpenGL/GLX'''.
And '''Qt4''' is required to get the GUI support.

=== Single command installation in Ubuntu 14.04 ===

Arkan: Adding a single command entry for the latest ubuntu version

This page lists the libraries needed to have a fully featured {{VLC}}. The additional information in the table refers to the VLC contrib build system (located in extras/contrib in VLC 1.1; in contrib in VLC 2.0+). These versions are against the trunk version.

For information on how to compile {{VLC}} (including the contribs) on your platform see the [[Developers Corner|Build VLC media player]] box on the Developer Corner's page.

=== Usage ===
There are some very important dependencies:
'''gettext (NLS)''' for international support (required),
'''libdvbpsi''' for MPEG-TS files and streams support, libmad for MP3 audio decoding,
'''libmpeg2''' for MPEG1 and MPEG2 video support,
'''FFmpeg''' or '''libav''' (libavcodec, libavformat, libpostproc, libswscale and optionally libavio) for MPEG4 and most other audio and video codecs, and many file formats,
'''liba52''' for Dolby (AC3) sound,
'''dvdread''' and '''dvdnav''' for DVD playback,
'''live555''' for RTSP stream playback,
etc.

For audio output, you will need probably '''alsa-lib''' (on [[Linux]]) and/or '''libpulse''' (for [[PulseAudio]]).
For video output, you will normally need '''XCB/XVideo''' and/or '''OpenGL/GLX'''.
And '''Qt4''' is required to get the GUI support.

=== Single command installation in Ubuntu 14.04 ===

Note:
* Add this ppa for ffmpeg: ppa:mc3man/trusty-media
* libcdio10 -> libcdio13
* libdap10 -> libdap11
* libtiff4 -> libtiff5
* libupnp3 -> libupnp6
