Where is How-To Doc?

[chengxinwen-vinci]

Sorry, I'm new to LibVLC for maintain a existing project which uses it.

I replace old libvlcjni.so and source code with your latest sdk (v2.0.6), but I can't find how-to document from this git repro, and I'm not clear how to use this.

For example, there's no VLCInstance and LibVlcException in your sdk, so I don't know how to start to create a new instance of VLC player.

Would you please help? Thanks a lot in advance!

Try this:

import org.videolan.libvlc.IVLCVout;
import org.videolan.libvlc.LibVLC;
import org.videolan.libvlc.Media;
import org.videolan.libvlc.MediaPlayer

    private void createPlayer(String url) {
        try {
            ArrayList<String> options = new ArrayList<>();
            options.add("--aout=opensles");
            options.add("--audio-time-stretch");
            options.add("--http-reconnect");
            options.add("--network-caching=" + 6 * 1000);
            options.add("-vvv");
            mLibVLC = new LibVLC(getContext(), options);

            mMediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(mLibVLC);
            mMediaPlayer.setEventListener(mPlayerListener);

            final IVLCVout vout = mMediaPlayer.getVLCVout();
            vout.setVideoView(mSurfaceView);
            vout.attachViews();

            Media media = new Media(mLibVLC, Uri.parse(url));
            mMediaPlayer.setMedia(media);
            mMediaPlayer.play();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // show error log
        }
    }

Great thanks to @nguyenhoanglam ! I'll try it soon, and I have another question, would you please help? https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc-android/issues/239 , thanks in advance!

[chengxinwen-vinci]

Hi @nguyenhoanglam , in your way, media player can't play music, can you play "https://d29r7idq0wxsiz.cloudfront.net/DigitalMusicDeliveryService/HPS.m3u8?m=m&dmid=219189184&c=cf&f=ts&t=10&bl=256k&s=true&e1=1490338800000&e2=1490339700000&v=V2&h=46dc257a18fa1d6044c09b2c43a573e1830a153c829bed3b1652b450e54ee3db" by url way?

I add permission for internet accessibility and write external storage, and this song won't be play.

[nguyenhoanglam]

I've tested your url by VLC Player and it can not be streamed. Maybe it's an invalid url.

[chengxinwen-vinci]

@nguyenhoanglam , it's an usable url, you can input it into address bar of web browser, and download a media file, and you can open and play it by VLC Player for OS X.

[nguyenhoanglam]

I paste your url in web browser and see "access was denied" error.

[chengxinwen-vinci]

@nguyenhoanglam , url has time limitation. Would you please try this one (https://d29r7idq0wxsiz.cloudfront.net/DigitalMusicDeliveryService/HPS.m3u8?m=m&dmid=233011633&c=cf&f=ts&t=10&bl=256k&s=true&e1=1490344200000&e2=1490345100000&v=V2&h=8d6b63cf72e48e1b4f43a617b9e69b3e7b29b4401a85249f6afb2e14b33b1acf), I just download it from web, and can play it by VLC Player for OS X, but still can't play in LibVLC.

[chengxinwen-vinci]

Does LibVLC have any property to set for accessing Amazon music stream? I didn't find out.

[chengxinwen-vinci]

If I use android.media.MediaPlayer instance for playing the same url, it works.

[liauli]

I also have a same issue. It works well for a normal m3u8 and mp4 links. but when I tried m3u8 wrapped mp4 links, it can't be played. the same link is also not working on offical VLC player app on android but works well on Windows VLC player. I am using Libvlc 2.0.6

however, when I tried to play it in 3.0.0 and 1.0.1 i found no problem on playing that link but isn't the library kinda outdated ?

I think it is a same problem with yours! Haven't found any solution so far =(

[pandyasagar]

@nguyenhoanglam
can I play video from local storage with your code ?
