[vlc-devel] The --vout options has been disabled on Windows

[David Robison]

On 4/15/2015 a change was made to the lib/media_player.c file. In the libvlc_media_player_set_hwnd function, the code specific to Windows was changed from

#if defined (_WIN32) || defined (__OS2__)
    var_SetString (p_mi, "window",
                   (drawable != NULL) ? "embed-hwnd,any" : "");
    var_SetInteger (p_mi, "drawable-hwnd", (uintptr_t)drawable);
#else
    (void) p_mi; (void) drawable;
#endif

To

#if defined (_WIN32) || defined (__OS2__)
    var_SetString (p_mi, "avcodec-hw", "");
    var_SetString (p_mi, "vout", "");
    var_SetString (p_mi, "window",
                   (drawable != NULL) ? "embed-hwnd,any" : "");
    var_SetInteger (p_mi, "drawable-hwnd", (uintptr_t)drawable);
#else
    (void) p_mi; (void) drawable;
#endif

The effect seems to be that, at least for Windows, the -vout options are no longer being honored. We use this option to force OpenGL so we can use the GPU affinity option. Was there a reason for disabling this option? Can it be restored

Thoughts? David
