[vlc-devel] VLCKit

[Mike Schrag]

Yeah this is basically what I did, but I get audio and no video.   
Maybe I'm naively using the API, but:

_videoLayer = [[VLCVideoLayer alloc] init];
_videoLayer.frame = NSRectToCGRect(self.bounds);
_mediaPlayer = [[VLCMediaPlayer alloc] initWithVideoLayer:_videoLayer];
[self.layer addSublayer:_videoLayer];
[_mediaPlayer play];

In VLCLibrary, I hardcoded vout=opengllayer.  It appears that when I  
use opengllayer that addVoutLayer is never called ... I'm off to look  
into the impl of opengllayer, but has anyone actually ever seen this  
work at all?
