## Status
|
|
|
|
Many missing functions and wrappers.
|
|
|
|
## Use
|
|
|
|
Please add the following dependencies to your Cargo.toml.
|
|
|
|
```Toml
|
|
[dependencies]
|
|
vlc-rs = "0.3"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or:
|
|
|
|
```Toml
|
|
[dependencies.vlc-rs]
|
|
git = "https://github.com/garkimasera/vlc-rs.git"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
Play for 10 seconds from a media file.
|
|
|
|
```Rust
|
|
extern crate vlc;
|
|
use vlc::{Instance, Media, MediaPlayer};
|
|
use std::thread;
|
|
|
|
fn main() {
|
|
// Create an instance
|
|
let instance = Instance::new().unwrap();
|
|
// Create a media from a file
|
|
let md = Media::new_path(&instance, "path_to_a_media_file.ogg").unwrap();
|
|
// Create a media player
|
|
let mdp = MediaPlayer::new(&instance).unwrap();
|
|
mdp.set_media(&md);
|
|
|
|
// Start playing
|
|
mdp.play().unwrap();
|
|
|
|
// Wait for 10 seconds
|
|
thread::sleep(::std::time::Duration::from_secs(10));
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|

## Building
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
|
|
To build `vlc-rs`, you must either build VLC from source or grab one of the pre-built packages from [videolan.org](https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html).
|
|
|
|
If you're building for `x86_64`, then you should grab the download labelled "Installer for 64bit version".
|
|
That installer is actually a self-extracting ZIP archive, so we can extract the contents without installing VLC itself.
|
|
|
|
If you're building for `x86`, then you should either download labelled "7zip package" or the one labelled "Zip package".
|
|
|
|
Once you've downloaded your chosen package, you should extract it some place such that its path contains no spaces.
|
|
To point `vlc-rs` at your VLC package, you should set an appropriate environment variable:
|
|
|
|
- `VLC_LIB_DIR`: Directory of the VLC pacakge, any architecture
|
|
- `VLC_LIB_DIR_X86` : Directory of the VLC pacakge, `x86`-only
|
|
- `VLC_LIB_DIR_X86_64` : Directory of the VLC pacakge, `x86_64`-only
|
|
|
|
You should also add the package to your `PATH` variable if you intend to run the program.
|
|
For distribution of an executable program, you should probably copy over the neccessary DLLs, as well as the `plugins` directory.
