This file can only be played through vlc and I need to provide on-the-fly decryption.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I have downloaded and built vlc code. I have also gone through various documentation pages. However, I am still confused on where to start. I would appreciate it if someone can help me with the following questions:</div><div><br></div><div>1. How to write a new container module?</div><div>2. I need to use x264 module internally. I need to integrate with it such that each block that x264 decodes needs to be decrypted first and passed on to x264 decoder. I am wondering what would be a good way to achieve this?</div><div>3. Although I have built vlc source and vlc
seems to run correctly, I am a bit confused about where the source files for each module really is. For example, when I look under contrib/src/x264, I don't see any .h or .c files. I need to debug and step through x264 code. How can I achieve this? Note that during the initial ".configure" step, I did specify enable-debug as a flag.</div><div><br></div><div>Also, may be there is a simpler way of what I am trying to achieve. Perhaps I can just hook into x264 decoding mechanism. Is this possible? </div><div><br></div><div>Thank you in advance for your help.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Peter</div></div></body></html>
