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 media player has.
The libVLC media framework is already used by several applications; see who uses libVLC?
Contents
Documentation
Please refer to the 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 explained: covers the basics on the _new(), _retain(), _release().
- LibVLC Media List Management explained: covers the basics on setting up a playlist.
- Generate a .lib for using libVLC on Windows (before libVLC 2.1.0)
Examples
Playback
- Current version (1.1.x and later)
- Gtk Player: doc/libvlc/gtk_player.c
- Qt Player: doc/libvlc/QtPlayer
- WxWidgets Player: doc/libvlc/wx_player.cpp
Rendering and streaming
- Use LibVLC in an SDL application
- Stream into a memory zone
- Generate thumbnails using LibVLC: doc/libvlc/vlc-thumb.c
- Quick DVD ripper: doc/libvlc/libvlc_DVD_ripper.c
More complex examples
libVLC on Android
VLCKit for Cocoa (iOS/MacOS)
You can find details on features and implementation on a designated page.
Mac OS X
- Simple playlist player for Mac OS X.
- iPod Converter for Mac OS X.
- Flash Video Downloader for Mac OS X.
iOS
Outdated samples
- Versions 0.9.x and 1.0.x
- Version 0.8.6
- Visual C++ (uses "old" legacy API)
- VCL component for Delphi (out-of-date)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)
- FBVLC browser plugin
- Objective-C for iOS and Mac OS
- Python
- Phonon (Qt/KDE) in C++]
- Java bindings
- libVLC android Java
- GO
- Qt 5 QML binding
- Qt bindings - VLC-Qt
- wxWidgets MediaCtrl backend also in C++
- Using libvlc with Delphi
- Pascal/Delphi
- .Net / CIL
- ActiveX with the built-in VLC browser plugin for MSIE (obsolete)
