[vlc-devel] libvlc status? [BIS]

[Tanguy Krotoff]

I feel so stupid! it works now!!!
Never do this in your code if you want to get meta data:
libvlc_media_release(_vlcMedia); HUHU
Sorry for bothering you with my stupidity...

I do simply this and it works:

vlcMedia = p_libvlc_media_new(vlcInstance, _filename);
vlcMediaPlayer = p_libvlc_media_player_new_from_media(vlcMedia);
connectToAllVLCEvents();
artist = p_libvlc_media_get_meta(vlcMedia, libvlc_meta_Artist);
printf(artist);

So without playing the file.

There is still something that I don't understand,
this code does not work:

callback(event)
{
  if (event->type == libvlc_MediaMetaChanged)
  {
    meta = p_libvlc_media_get_meta(vlcMedia,
event->u.media_meta_changed.meta_type);
    printf(meta);
  }
}

And each time I get a libvlc_MediaMetaChanged event, meta string is
just empty... even if the code above works fine.

Do you have a rational explanation?
