Hi Tony,
as you figured out, the problem of the jvm crash was about the existance
of the peer when calling destroy(). The destroy method deallocates the
libvlc instance and all its objects, including vout. So the correct way
of calling destroy is, as you said, after the peer has been deallocated.
I think that cleaning up the peer before calling destroy is up to the
application.
I'm going to override removenotify in order to tighen the cases of jvm
crashes, but still calling jvlc.destroy() when the peer is still
attached to the vout will cause a crash.
If there are other changes you did to vlc or to the java bindings,
please make them public so that i can include them in the jvlc distribution.
Cheers,
Filippo
