Title: Can vlc work on SFML window?
Post by: JasonLeon on March 15, 2024, 07:24:36 pm

I tried mciSendString, but it created a new window to play the video.
Besides, I don't quite understand how to install sfeMovies in my project(CMake, CLion)

I've no idea how VLC can be integrated into other applications.

Have you followed the Getting Started section: https://sfemovie.yalir.org/latest/start.php

I had trouble building sfeMovies. That's why I had to look for some libraries else.

When integrating libVLC with SFML for media playback, you typically need to retrieve the video frames from libVLC and then copy them into an SFML texture to display them in an SFML window. This process involves using callbacks provided by libVLC to access the video frames and then transferring them to an SFML texture for rendering.

I've used OpenCV with SFML, it was pretty easy to get it to do video playback into an SFML texture (only takes about 4 lines of code to get an OpenCV video frame into an SFML texture).

It's only good for video though, no audio.
