This sample code will render a video into a Qt QWidget. This was tested with vlc-0.9.9 and Qt 4.5.1 on WinXP and Linux This was tested with vlc-1.1.9 and Qt 4.7.2 and Ubuntu 11.04
How to use?You need libvlc headers and Qt headers.Take those 3 files, put them in a folder. Run qmake -project Edit the .pro file and add LIBS += -L*path to vlc lib* #if you are at windows os LIBS += -lvlc Run qmake and then make or mingw32-make under a Windows OS
VLC 1.1.5 and Ubuntu Lucid[Rafael Capucho<rafael.capucho@gmail.com> 20120713] Modified to include properly QX11EmbedContainer header that was missing.- tested ok [Ondrej Spilka 20101201] slightly modified for the modest versions... - X11 embed container have to be used, therefore QX11EmbedContainer rather than QFrame have to be used.- tested ok
