[vlc-devel] Re: Python+wxPython bindings on Mac (patch)

[Damien Fouilleul]

Jan,

i was actually thinking of adding an extra API, such as, 
libvlc_video_set_drawable_type() to allow passing different type of 
drawable to the vout handler, not necessarily limited to MacOS X 
drawable types, this has the nice advantage to be backward compatible 
with existing api.
You would still use libvlc_video_set_drawable() to pass a reference to 
the drawable.

I was reading your previous emails, and I don't understand why you need 
the vout to call InvalidateRect() after an aglSwap(), since the latter 
would repaint the video.
regarding resize, you should call libvlc_video_set_viewport()
