!!!!! This is NOT an official libVLC project !!!!!

P/Invoke bindings auto-generated from libvlc headers using ClangSharpPInvokeGenerator.

Why this project?

This project started because I needed to use libvlc_video_set_output_callbacks, the video rendering API from LibVLC 4.0.0.
I believe it provides a cleaner solution to airspace issues in WPF and other UI frameworks.
While LibVLCSharp is very well-designed, the v4 prerelease is not yet officially stable, and its interop layer is not fully automated.
For that reason, I created this fresh project:
It uses GitHub Actions and ClangSharpPInvokeGenerator to automatically generate up-to-date P/Invoke bindings for VLC.

Feedback and contributions are welcome!

List

  • LibVLC.AutoGen is a standard wrapper using [DllImport("libvlc")].
  • LibVLC.AutoGen.Static using [DllImport("__Internal")] for static linked libvlc.
  • LibVLC.AutoGen.Dynamic for runtime loaded libvlc.

Their usage is identical.
Only LibVLC.AutoGen.Dynamic requires manual initialization.
libvlc.initialize(string dllPath) or libvlc.initialize(IntPtr dllHandle)

Notes

  • no libvlc_printerr, C# has poor compatibility with C variadic arguments.
  • no libvlc_role_Last, it's a macro definition for libvlc_role_Test.
    You can use libvlc_media_player_role_t.libvlc_role_Test instead.

TODO

Create a new VLC media control using the video rendering API libvlc_video_set_output_callbacks.
