[linker] libvlcjni.so has text relocations - app crashes

[RogerSchmidlin]

Hello there
First, thanks for putting together this great wrapper for vlc. I am trying to write an xamarin forms app for playing videos. I tried to use your library on the android part but got following error:

"[linker] libvlcjni.so has text relocations. This is wasting memory and prevents security hardening. Please fix."

It seems to work ok, if I only create a xamarin android solution.
Thanks for your help,
Roger

Do you have any plans to provide this wrapper for iOS? Or even better a video player view for Xamarin Forms :)

I didn't have any plans for iOS or Forms yet, but that would be a good idea. I'll see if i can look into it.

Could the above problem be solved with this link?

I get very weird things happening at my side. Could you try my simple version of your modified sample code and set a breakpoint where suggested. Step over and it should crash. At least at my end. Do you have a working sample to play a video through your lib?
'
LibVLCLibVLC mLibVLC = null;
MediaPlayer mMediaPlayer = null;
MediaLibVLC mMediaLib = null;

    protected override void OnCreate (Bundle bundle)
    {
        base.OnCreate (bundle);

        // Set our view from the "main" layout resource
        SetContentView (Resource.Layout.Main);

        // try a breakpoint here and step over it. I get crashes right there
        mLibVLC = new LibVLCLibVLC ();
        mMediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer (mLibVLC);

        AssetFileDescriptor afd = Assets.OpenFd ("video.mp4");
        if (afd != null) {
            mMediaLib = new MediaLibVLC (mLibVLC, afd.FileDescriptor);
            Console.WriteLine ("--- open video file successful");
            mMediaPlayer.Media = mMediaLib;
            mMediaPlayer.Play ();
        } else {
            Console.WriteLine ("--- couldn't open video file");
        }
    }

Can you check this again with the latest update?

[RogerSchmidlin]

Sorry for my late reply. If I set a breakpoint it still crashes when I step over it. This time with no error message in the application output window. I can run it without breakpoints, but no video nor sound comes out. Your example works with just audio.
