Detailed Description

LibVLC renderer discoverer finds available renderers available on the local network.

Macro Definition Documentation

◆ LIBVLC_RENDERER_CAN_AUDIO

#define LIBVLC_RENDERER_CAN_AUDIO   0x0001

The renderer can render audio.

◆ LIBVLC_RENDERER_CAN_VIDEO

#define LIBVLC_RENDERER_CAN_VIDEO   0x0002

The renderer can render video.

Typedef Documentation

◆ libvlc_rd_description_t

Renderer discoverer description.

See also
libvlc_renderer_discoverer_list_get()

◆ libvlc_renderer_discoverer_t

◆ libvlc_renderer_item_t

Renderer item.

This struct is passed by a libvlc_event_t when a new renderer is added or deleted.

An item is valid until the libvlc_RendererDiscovererItemDeleted event is called with the same pointer.

See also
libvlc_renderer_discoverer_event_manager()

Function Documentation

◆ libvlc_renderer_discoverer_event_manager()

LIBVLC_API libvlc_event_manager_t * libvlc_renderer_discoverer_event_manager ( libvlc_renderer_discoverer_t p_rd)

Get the event manager of the renderer discoverer.

The possible events to attach are libvlc_RendererDiscovererItemAdded and libvlc_RendererDiscovererItemDeleted.

The libvlc_renderer_item_t struct passed to event callbacks is owned by VLC, users should take care of holding/releasing this struct for their internal usage.

See also
libvlc_event_t.u.renderer_discoverer_item_added.item
libvlc_event_t.u.renderer_discoverer_item_removed.item
Version
LibVLC 3.0.0 or later
Returns
a valid event manager (can't fail)

◆ libvlc_renderer_discoverer_list_get()

LIBVLC_API size_t libvlc_renderer_discoverer_list_get ( libvlc_instance_t p_inst,
libvlc_rd_description_t ***  ppp_services 
)

Get media discoverer services.

See also
libvlc_renderer_list_release()
Version
LibVLC 3.0.0 and later
Parameters
p_instlibvlc instance
ppp_servicesaddress to store an allocated array of renderer discoverer services (must be freed with libvlc_renderer_list_release() by the caller) [OUT]
Returns
the number of media discoverer services (0 on error)

◆ libvlc_renderer_discoverer_list_release()

LIBVLC_API void libvlc_renderer_discoverer_list_release ( libvlc_rd_description_t **  pp_services,
size_t  i_count 
)

Release an array of media discoverer services.

See also
libvlc_renderer_discoverer_list_get()
Version
LibVLC 3.0.0 and later
Parameters
pp_servicesarray to release
i_countnumber of elements in the array

◆ libvlc_renderer_discoverer_new()

LIBVLC_API libvlc_renderer_discoverer_t * libvlc_renderer_discoverer_new ( libvlc_instance_t p_inst,
const char *  psz_name 
)

Create a renderer discoverer object by name.

After this object is created, you should attach to events in order to be notified of the discoverer events.

You need to call libvlc_renderer_discoverer_start() in order to start the discovery.
