[vlc-devel] How to get JVLC to play youtube...

Mon Nov 2 15:44:31 CET 2009

Hi Rafael,

Thanks for the response. All I am doing is taking the url that works in vlc.exe and using it for the example programs for jvlc. I suspect that there are some command line settings that I need to pass to the jvlc object that creates an instance of vlclib.

The url I used for both the playlist and mediaplayer examples is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ETDE0VGJY4

I tried the command line options you listed for the jvlc example for mediaplayer (the recommended object for jvlc) and go the following output for the -vvv option.

It looks as if the wrong demux is selected. It uses lua and for the vlc player it finds the avcodec according to the message window.

Regards,
-Tony

Output from eclipse as follows:
== Starting VLCExample ==
Creating a JVLC instance with args: 
0) --plugin-path=e:\plugins
1) --http-caching=1200
2) --ignore-config
3) -I
4) rc
5) -vvv
