[vlc-devel] Does JVLC crash? (For JVLC programmers)

[Victor Fuertes Zanon]

Hi everybody,

I already posted this issue in the developer's mail list and sent a mail to
littejohn but I got no answer :(

I have developed a very simple videoconfence project using JVLC (stable
vlc-0.8.6c version) and a few weeks ago I decided to upgrade the JVLC version
to the newer one (subversion vlc-0.9.0 version). Unfortunately I found that the
version I downloaded didn't work... and, what it is worse, the problem persist.
I explain the error:

1) When you run VLCExample you get:

[code]fictorine at Mario:~/vlc-trunk3/bindings/java$ java VLCExample
== Starting VLCExample ==
Creating a JVLC instance without args[00000001] main libvlc debug: VLC media

        at org.videolan.jvlc.JVLC.<init>(JVLC.java:80)
        at VLCExample.main(VLCExample.java:26)[/code]

2) That's because, in callback-jni.cc, the code is:

[code]JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_org_videolan_jvlc_Audio__1install_1callback(
JNIEnv
*env, jobject _this )
{
    INIT_FUNCTION ;
    if (jvm == NULL)
    {
        env->GetJavaVM( &jvm );
        audioClass = env->GetObjectClass( _this );
        wakeupListenersMethod = env->GetStaticMethodID(audioClass,
"wakeupListeners",
"()V");
    }

    libvlc_exception_raise( &exception, "not implemented" );
    CHECK_EXCEPTION ;
}[/code]

It seems the JVLC class is under construction...

The questions are:

Do JVLC programmers know this bug? Are they working on it? When will it be
fixed? Can I help in any way?

Cheers, Fictorine.

EDIT: I'm using Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon if this helps  :wink:
