Cinder-VLC

Cinder wrapper for VLC (Windows only atm)

Note: compared to QuickTime, VLC cannot play media backwards (i.e. setting the rate to -1.0 will have no effect). This is a known (https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=70191) technical limitation.

Instructions

• Currently requires manual copy of the content of vlc_bin folder in application output folder (Debug or Release)
• This block requires manual settings of Cinder include and lib folders (I have an environment variable called CINDERSDK_DIR on my system), i.e. does not respect the conventional relative search paths that the other blocks do.

TODO

• Add post build script to copy content of vlc_bin folder
• Add audio
• Test with several video codecs
• Add extended VLC functionalities, such as playlist management, etc...
