Good afternoon) Tell me, is there an opportunity in Gambas to connect VLC player to play streaming videos?

No not in any "beginners" capacity.

you can probably use the vlc api library  libVLC media player, Open Source video framework for every OS! - VideoLAN.

mpv or mplayer has a command argument that lets you provide an x11 window Id and it auto embeds into that window but that won't work on wayland.

The gambas MediaPlayer i believe can play streaming videos

Wanting to handle the functions of the <COLOR color="#800000">libvlc</COLOR> external library (VLC API library), I would suggest reading these pages:

- Medienplayer mit Live-TV-Funktion - Der Gambas Club
- Le site de la communauté de Gambas - Gambas France
- Le site de la communauté de Gambas - Gambas France

How to play a video over the web using mediaplayer. I didn't see an opportunity to insert a link.
7.51.131.147/-wvhttp-01-/GetOneShot?image_size=1280x720&frame_count=1000000000

You didn't see URL ?
/comp/gb.media/mediaplayer/url - Gambas Documentation

then i'd guess you didn't even look?

Or do you mean did not see a button?

The gambas player does not have a button for opening files/URLs.

you'll have to program one to enter the url into the player.

 Is this a media player?

 the components only have this(I can't put the latest version on astra linux 1.7 SE

 Should this element be used in conjunction with the gb.media component?

 it is not possible to figure out whether the class needs to be connected and how to do it correctly, or it is enough to tick the media component.gb problems with English, I use a translator(

 what am I doing wrong)?

No i think that program is for making sausages.

If you want to play video by using <COLOR color="#800000">gb.media</COLOR> Component, I suggest reading these pages:
   La gestione del video e dei file video con il componente gb.media - Gambas-it.org - Wikipedia

If you want to play video by using <COLOR color="#800000">gb.media.form</COLOR> Component, I suggest:

Not reading the wiki so

/comp/gb.form/inputbox/_call - Gambas Documentation
/comp/gb.media.form/mediaview - Gambas Documentation
/comp/gb.media/mediaplayer - Gambas Documentation

Plus i think a bad URL
I could not get your link to work.

But this works
MediaView1.URL = "https://cdn.flowplayer.com/a30bd6bc-f98b-47bc-abf5-97633d4faea0/hls/de3f6ca7-2db3-4689-8160-0f574a5996ad/playlist.m3u8"
MediaView1.Play

Your link is working! I wonder why mine doesn't work (I just need to play RTSP streaming video. The browser plays my link, and so does VlC player. What could be the matter?

Using gb.media resources, your link does not work for me either.

I think the URL is not so much a video stream as it is web content.

vlc player must be designed to handle that but gb.media is not (gb.media is just a GStreamer interface).

I got it to work by not using gb.media but using gb.gui.webview and the WebView component that is for loading web urls not video streams.

Hi, BruceSteers,
as you know, Claus Dietrich ("crabman" on the German forum) has tried at both gb.media and libvlc resources for viewing web video and web-TV.
He has repeatedly told me that he has noticed that gb.media cannot handle web-video and web-TV perfectly, as libvlc can.  

 Tell me, what type of project should I use for your last example? Graphical Aplication? Can you tell me which components to choose from the available ones?

Probably because it is not video gb.media as you know plays video files.

I used the HttpClient class to read the incoming data from the page.

it starts like a HTTP image request with some CRLF terminated strings, then the data much like a HTTP image request a browser shows.
Is just shows a jpeg image, over and over again..
maybe this IS correct RTSP protocol? i don't know

this is the received data…

How to process the data from there i do not know.

I seems to repeatedly re-send the image type, image size and then the data like HTTP1/1

 It turned out to add these, it conflicts with others, I would like to know the combination of components for my version of gambas 3.12.

your gambas is very old and outdated , 3.12 was a very long time ago and is what shipped with debian bullseye , are you sure you have debian 12 bookworm?

WebView is with current stable gambas

webkit for old versions.
(webkit is now depreciated)

or update to latest gambas stable version and use gb.gui.webview.

Upgrade your gambas like this…

you will find the commands to install debian 12 in the .gitlab-ci.yml file

 unfortunately, this component is not available to me (for my version of astra linux 1.7 se maximum gambas 3.12. In the next post I asked about the repositories for astra linux 1.8 se, it is already based on debian 12, but I do not know where to get the repository addresses.
