[vlc-devel] Sample libvlc based player on OSX

[yoanis at 2burbujas.net]

Hello there list,

I'm trying to put together an app which uses libvlc to play video files.
The app should initially work on OSX (Lion and Mountain Lion) and it's
being developed using QT (version 4.8.1).

After struggling a bit to find some running code I came across this:

https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/7196

(the ticket itself can be ignored, I just took the sample app borrowed).
However when I run my code my application crashes, with no other message
than:

The program has unexpectedly finished.

Here:

you will find the video widget which is supposed to play a video file.
Also, here:

you will find the Apple Crash Report, which seems to point that the issue
is related to the NSView object where the video is displayed.

According to this:

http://www.videolan.org/developers/vlc/doc/doxygen/html/group__libvlc__media__player.html#ga46c26a395b496e48917101198acc31f6

one should use the QMacCocoaViewContainer, but I'm not really sure how to
use it.  I would appreciate any hint or reference to working code.

Bests,

Yoanis.
