Play video files in SDL program

SDL Development
1

Hello,

I am in Debian Wheezy and I am searching play video files in a SDL program.

I see SDL_ffmeg but I think is not active, the last version have some years.

I see MPEG player, but not have stable versions, only snapshots versions.

Any active proyect?.

Thanks

ffplay.c itself, the main builtin ffmpeg player, is implemented in SDL.On dom, 2013-05-19 at 19:15 +0200, Altair Linux wrote:

By the way, if you are bridging to OpenGL/OpenAL(?):
http://code.google.com/p/juanmabcprj/wiki/OpenMediaLibrary
if not, it could even be at least an interesting tutorial in the
subject, the code involved is pretty small.

Also, on another front, consider a gstreamer pipeline to a
sdl{audio/video}sinks.

Hi,

TheoraPlay works pretty well, too:

There is a tutorial that introduce the use of FFMPEG and SDL together. The tutorial is very outdated, but de source files that uses are updated to the latest FFMPEG API, so, you can read the tutorial and read the source files to get build the examples without mayor problems.

I’m pretty sure of this, because i’m following this tutorial right now!!

Here the tutorial link: http://dranger.com/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.html
and here the updated sources: https://github.com/chelyaev/ffmpeg-tutorial

You’ll need to download the ffmpeg and SDL devel packs and there you go.

Good luck!!
