The following is the simplest way to use libvlc with visual C++. What you need is: libvlc.dll and the whole folder plugins; Copy the dll file and plugins folder into your Debug or Release directory.
1. Create VC console project 2. Implement some functions to load libvlc.dll into your application:
Take a look at [1] to get more information about functions in libvlc.dll 3. Create a command that is used to pass to libvlc.dll This command is used to stream webcam to another machine:
char ** commands = new char*[6];
commands[0] = "testvlcconsole.exe"; //your application name
commands[1] = "dshow://";
commands[2] = ":dshow-vdev=Logitech QuickCam Pro 3000 (08B0)";
commands[3] = ":dshow-adev=";
commands[4] = ":dshow-size=176x144";
commands[5] = ":sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=1024,scale=1}:duplicate{dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=192.168.0.155:1234}}";
4. Main program:
- Initialize Library : load libvlc.dll and its functions - Create VLC instance: id = VLC_Create() - Initialize VLC : VLC_Init(id, int, commands) - Start playing: VLC_Play()
