Also, to address Olivier's point ("Maybe their patch should be ported to the new VLC version?"), I have tried that. The contents of voutgl.m in "macosx" are nearly identical to voutagl.m in "minimal_macosx", so I tried porting the patch, but it had no effect.<br>
<br>I also tried applying the patch to "macosx" but that still resulted in VLC Goldeneye crashing (only when the macosx plugin is forcefully not compiled, forcing VLC to use minimal_macosx, is it possible to start a video with python-ctypes bindings without causing a crash in OS X).<br>

After looking through Barry's code with QGLWidget and experimenting with PyQt4, I'm still lost as to how to implement this with the python-bindings. In the python bindings, you can usually set_agl, set_nsobject, or set_xwindow handles, but I assume that would not be relevant here.<br>
<br>How can I use python to direct VLC to draw into the OpenGL window for Qt? If that's not possible, is there a way to create a QGLWidget window with VLC as prescribed by Barry, but sandbox that so I can still integrate it into my python application? My application is already written and developed in python for Linux and Windows, so I definitely want to avoid rewriting the whole application just for Mac OS X (also, python is just a beautiful language).<br>
<br>Lastly, Olivier Aubert mentioned that if set_nsobject and set_agl don't work, they need to be fixed. Well, they don't seem to work for me in OS X, so does anyone have any pointers on where to start to fix that, if it's possible?<br>
<br>Thanks again for all the help!<br>-Jack<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>

Thank you for the response Barry. This definitely points me in an promising direction, since I'm quite sure that the minimal_macosx is, by default, outputting something using OpenGL.<br><br>Do you have any ideas for how I would practically implement this for use with PyQt and the python-ctypes VLC bindings, or should I consider modifying the contents of minimal_macosx to allow me to use PyQt somehow?<br>

</div>Now that I actually check the forum thread you linked, I see that you<br>
have already looked at the example in the wiki.<br>

</div>Given that the LibVLC method doesn't seem to be working for you, this<br>
might be a good option. For Google Summer of Code this year, I worked<br>
on a cross-platform Qt GUI for VLC<br>
(<a href="http://wiki.videolan.org/SoC_2009/Media_Center_Interface_for_VLC" target="_blank">http://wiki.videolan.org/SoC_2009/Media_Center_Interface_for_VLC</a>). It<br>
works on Linux and OSX, I never tested it with Windows.<br>
<br>
The bit that is most relevant for you is the use of a QGLWidget to<br>
provide an OpenGL context for VLC to draw into. Check<br>
modules/gui/qtmc/glvideowidget.cpp<br>
