[vlc] Re: Using vlc to show video through another app

[Chhaya, Harshal]

Michael, Felix,

Your suggestion about named pipes to interface to vlc
helped considerably. 

I now have two applications - one reads from the USB 
driver and puts the data in the named pipe and the 
other reads from the pipe and writes it to vlc 
using 'fwrite()'. This works - for about 20 seconds. 

After a few seconds, the CPU utilization reaches 100% 
which slows down my driver and I am back to the original 
problem. It seems that the fwrite() still blocks 
because the data is given faster to vlc than it wants.

Is there any other way to feed data to vlc?

Thanks,
Harshal
