Libvlc.dll Download

• For the demo, you need to download the actual VLC package and copy the plug-ins in the corresponding directory of the demo. You will also need to have libvlc.dll and libvlccore.dll in your path.

• Download source [VLC API 2.0.0 required!] - 248.88 KB

  This package includes projects for Visual Studio 6 and Visual Studio 2010. The source package also includes the VLC headers and the libs for linking. You can find the libs on the videolan site in special ZIP files intended for developers. They are bigger (~36MB) than the normal ZIPs on the download page.

Introduction

This article presents a little C++-wrapper for the libvlc-library, which is the core component of the VLC media player. I was looking for an easy way to integrate video playback in my C++ applications. Because I've been using VLC for media playback for many years now, I started playing around with the VLC API. The result is a little wrapper around the libvlc-library. It provides basic media playback functionality. Since v.2.0 the libvlc-library is released under the LGPL, so you can use it in commercial applications. All sourcecode in this arcticle is licensed under the CPOL. Please excuse any bugs because this wrapper is more a quick hack than a feature complete wrapper. ;)

For testing purposes, I wrote a simple media player which uses the VLCWrapper. It's included in the example above.

Background

The most valuable source of information about the VLC API for me was the developer section on the VLC website and the documented C-headers of the VLC source. The project website is a good starting point if you plan to code something with VLC or extend the VLCWrapper.

The C++-Interface of VLCWrapper to LIBVLC

The interface declared in 'VLCWrapper.h' is small and the member functions are quite self-explanatory. To get a good overlook, I stripped of the comments. Check out the sources for more information.

Using the Code

Using the VLCWrapper is easy. The first step would be to add a new VLCWraper as a member of your window class and a CStatic for video output:

Now we can initialize the VLCWrapper in OnInitDialog():

The handler function for VLC events:

Now everything is in place, and you can start playing media files. E.g., the 'Load' and 'Play' members look like this:
