[vlc-devel] VLCKit

[Mike Schrag]

Looks like openggllayer.m expects drawable-gl to be set to the  
VLCVideoView for video to be bound to the view, but I don't see  
anything that actually sets that value.  If I force the value down in  
opengllayer to find my view, it works.  Bear with me -- I'm a total  
VLC dev newbie ... Anyone happen to know the proper way to actually  
set this from within VLCKit? I have a vlc pointer in there, but I  
don't know how to get ahold of the p_vout that i need to set the  
variable on.
