Roadmap

This project is a small initial sample of VLC binding.
Initially the zig translate-c (c to zig) is not 100% yet, generating some inconsistencies in vlc.h. But libvlc.h is being translated in this example.

Issues

• fix translate-c on vlc.h - error: missing struct_a.
• fix sleep timeout Upstream issue!
• Tests
• fix @cImport() in MacOS and Windows #2

Examples

• CLI - player
• CLI - print version (libvlc, compiler)
• SDL2 support #3
• Capy support #5
• LibVLCpp Support #12

Next steps

• Build C and C++ examples w/ zig bindings
• Impl some abstractions mechanism
• Document zig binding.

After I was able to run the example cli-player on Linux.

It is still necessary to investigate why std.time.sleep don't play file as a timeout and requires using c.sleep from the system's native API.

Ref:

• NanoSleep don't working on Windows  #8
• Windows - Segfault (MinGW) #10

After spending a few days trying to fix the CI/CD (Linux, MacOS), as for Windows, preferred to postpone it a little due to the interpretation complication (will review it more calmly later).

Now, refactoring the SDL_player example with OpenGL support.
Therefore, I take the opportunity to update Todo list for the next steps after merging the SDL2 example.

Windows CI (MinGW) issue has been fixed, and cli-player (zig version) example issue has been fixed and cli-player (c version) added. #11
The implementation of the SDL will be resumed. #6
