Hello all!
I’m trying to port the sdl+vlc example
(http://wiki.videolan.org/LibVLC_SampleCode_SDL) to SDL 1.3 apis
I’m trying to use this code to decode some h264 videos and to do some
compositing operation on it live.
So far i’ve got this (not sure whether SDL_LockMutex) should be removed or not:
#ifdef __WIN32
#include “SDL.h”
#else
#include “SDL/SDL.h”
#endif
#include “vlc/vlc.h”
#include “assert.h”
struct ctx {
SDL_mutex *mutex;
SDL_Texture *tex;
};
static void *lock (void *data, void **p_pixels) {
struct ctx *ctx = data;
// SDL_LockMutex(ctx->mutex);
int pitch = 19204;
SDL_LockTexture(ctx->tex, NULL, p_pixels, &pitch);
return NULL; / picture identifier, not needed here */
}
static void unlock (void *data, void *id, void *const *p_pixels) {
struct ctx *ctx = data;
SDL_UnlockTexture(ctx->tex);
// SDL_UnlockMutex(ctx->mutex);
assert(id == NULL); /* picture identifier, not needed here */
}
// VLC wants to display the video
static void display (void *data, void *id) {
struct ctx *ctx = data;
assert(id == NULL);
}
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
libvlc_instance_t *libvlc;
libvlc_media_t *m;
libvlc_media_player_t *mp;
char const *vlc_argv[] =
{
"--no-audio", /* skip any audio track */
"--no-xlib", /* tell VLC to not use Xlib */
};
int vlc_argc = sizeof(vlc_argv) / sizeof(*vlc_argv);
int pause = 0;
int action = 0;
int done = 0;
int fullscreen = 0;
SDL_Event event;
SDL_DisplayMode mode;
struct ctx ctx;
if (argc < 2) {
fprintf (stderr, "Usage: %s <filename>\n", argv[0]);
return -1;
}
// Initialize SDL.
if (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) < 0)
return -1;
SDL_GetCurrentDisplayMode(0, &mode);
SDL_Window *window = SDL_CreateWindow("Window",
SDL_WINDOWPOS_CENTERED, SDL_WINDOWPOS_CENTERED, mode.w, mode.h,
SDL_WINDOW_SHOWN | SDL_WINDOW_BORDERLESS );
SDL_Renderer *renderer = SDL_CreateRenderer(window, -1,
SDL_RENDERER_ACCELERATED | SDL_RENDERER_PRESENTVSYNC);
ctx.mutex = SDL_CreateMutex();
ctx.tex = SDL_CreateTexture(renderer, SDL_PIXELFORMAT_ARGB8888,
SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_STREAMING, 1920, 1080);
SDL_SetRenderDrawColor(renderer, 0, 0, 0, 0);
SDL_RenderClear(renderer);
// Initialise libVLC
libvlc = libvlc_new(vlc_argc, vlc_argv);
m = libvlc_media_new_path(libvlc, argv[1]);
mp = libvlc_media_player_new_from_media(m);
libvlc_video_set_callbacks(mp, lock, unlock, display, &ctx);
libvlc_video_set_format(mp, "RV32", 1920, 1080, 1920*4);
libvlc_media_player_play(mp);
while(!done) {
action = 0;
/* Keys: enter (fullscreen), space (pause), escape (quit) */
while( SDL_PollEvent( &event ) ) {
switch(event.type) {
case SDL_QUIT:
done = 1;
break;
case SDL_KEYDOWN:
action = event.key.keysym.sym;
break;
}
}
switch(action) {
case SDLK_ESCAPE:
done = 1;
break;
case SDLK_RETURN:
fullscreen = !fullscreen;
SDL_SetWindowFullscreen(window, fullscreen);
break;
case ' ':
pause = !pause;
libvlc_media_player_set_pause(mp, pause);
break;
}
SDL_RenderCopy(renderer, ctx.tex, NULL, NULL);
SDL_RenderPresent(renderer);
SDL_Delay(10);
}
libvlc_media_release(m);
libvlc_media_player_stop(mp);
libvlc_media_player_release(mp);
libvlc_release(libvlc);
SDL_DestroyTexture(ctx.tex);
SDL_Quit();
return 0;
}
this works fine on Windows, i can see the video and render with the
new apis; it works using the direct3d and software renderer, with the
opengl renderer i see only a black screen.
However on Linux, using the opengl renderer, it gets a segfault and
crashes at the first frame or so (works fine with software renderer).
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Am I using the libraries wrong? Is there some logic flaw (besides
hardcoding video width and height)?
Also if i add “–ffmpeg-hw” to the vlc parameters, in Windows works
fine, in linux i get [0xfce650] avcodec decoder warning: Ignoring VA
API
Is this standard behaviour? Is it normal that (under windows) when i
use vlc directly and hw acceleration i see that the cpu is completely
offloaded, while with this test program and hw acceleration the cpu is
loaded to a 10%?
Thanks for any help
