LIBVLC_DEPRECATED LIBVLC_API int libvlc_audio_get_track ( libvlc_media_player_t p_mi)

Get current audio track.

Parameters
p_mimedia player
Returns
the audio track ID or -1 if no active input.

◆ libvlc_audio_get_track_description()

LIBVLC_DEPRECATED LIBVLC_API libvlc_track_description_t * libvlc_audio_get_track_description ( libvlc_media_player_t p_mi)

Get the description of available audio tracks.

Parameters
p_mimedia player
Returns

◆ libvlc_audio_get_volume()

LIBVLC_API int libvlc_audio_get_volume ( libvlc_media_player_t p_mi)

◆ libvlc_audio_output_device_enum()

LIBVLC_API libvlc_audio_output_device_t * libvlc_audio_output_device_enum ( libvlc_media_player_t mp)

Gets a list of potential audio output devices.

See also libvlc_audio_output_device_set().

Note
Not all audio outputs support enumerating devices. The audio output may be functional even if the list is empty (NULL).
The list may not be exhaustive.
Warning
Some audio output devices in the list might not actually work in some circumstances. By default, it is recommended to not specify any explicit audio device.
Parameters
mpmedia player
Returns
A NULL-terminated linked list of potential audio output devices. It must be freed with libvlc_audio_output_device_list_release()
Version
LibVLC 2.2.0 or later.

◆ libvlc_audio_output_device_get()

LIBVLC_API char * libvlc_audio_output_device_get ( libvlc_media_player_t mp)

Get the current audio output device identifier.

This complements libvlc_audio_output_device_set().

Warning
The initial value for the current audio output device identifier may not be set or may be some unknown value. A LibVLC application should compare this value against the known device identifiers (e.g. those that were previously retrieved by a call to libvlc_audio_output_device_enum) to find the current audio output device.

It is possible that the selected audio output device changes (an external change) without a call to libvlc_audio_output_device_set. That may make this method unsuitable to use if a LibVLC application is attempting to track dynamic audio device changes as they happen.

Parameters
mpmedia player
Returns
the current audio output device identifier NULL if no device is selected or in case of error (the result must be released with free()).
Version
LibVLC 3.0.0 or later.

◆ libvlc_audio_output_device_list_release()

LIBVLC_API void libvlc_audio_output_device_list_release ( libvlc_audio_output_device_t p_list)

Frees a list of available audio output devices.

Parameters
p_listlist with audio outputs for release
Version
LibVLC 2.1.0 or later.

◆ libvlc_audio_output_device_set()

LIBVLC_API int libvlc_audio_output_device_set ( libvlc_media_player_t mp,
const char *  device_id 
)

Configures an explicit audio output device.

A list of adequate potential device strings can be obtained with libvlc_audio_output_device_enum().

Note
This function does not select the specified audio output plugin. libvlc_audio_output_set() is used for that purpose.
Warning
The syntax for the device parameter depends on the audio output.

Some audio output modules require further parameters (e.g. a channels map in the case of ALSA).

Version
This function originally expected three parameters. The middle parameter was removed from LibVLC 4.0 onward.
Parameters
mpmedia player
device_iddevice identifier string (see libvlc_audio_output_device_t::psz_device)
Returns
If the change of device was requested succesfully, zero is returned (the actual change is asynchronous and not guaranteed to succeed). On error, a non-zero value is returned.

◆ libvlc_audio_output_list_get()

LIBVLC_API libvlc_audio_output_t * libvlc_audio_output_list_get ( libvlc_instance_t p_instance)

Gets the list of available audio output modules.

Parameters
p_instancelibvlc instance
Returns
list of available audio outputs. It must be freed with
See also
libvlc_audio_output_list_release
libvlc_audio_output_t . In case of error, NULL is returned.

◆ libvlc_audio_output_list_release()

LIBVLC_API void libvlc_audio_output_list_release ( libvlc_audio_output_t p_list)

Frees the list of available audio output modules.

Parameters
p_listlist with audio outputs for release

◆ libvlc_audio_output_set()

LIBVLC_API int libvlc_audio_output_set ( libvlc_media_player_t p_mi,
const char *  psz_name 
)

Selects an audio output module.

Note
Any change will take be effect only after playback is stopped and restarted. Audio output cannot be changed while playing.
Parameters
p_mimedia player
psz_namename of audio output, use psz_name of
See also
libvlc_audio_output_t
Returns
0 if function succeeded, -1 on error

◆ libvlc_audio_set_delay()

LIBVLC_API int libvlc_audio_set_delay ( libvlc_media_player_t p_mi,
int64_t  i_delay 
)

Set current audio delay.

The audio delay will be reset to zero each time the media changes.

Parameters
p_mimedia player
i_delaythe audio delay (microseconds)
Returns
0 on success, -1 on error
Version
LibVLC 1.1.1 or later

◆ libvlc_audio_set_mixmode()

LIBVLC_API int libvlc_audio_set_mixmode ( libvlc_media_player_t p_mi,
libvlc_audio_output_mixmode_t  mode 
)

Set current audio mix-mode.

By default (libvlc_AudioMixMode_Unset), the audio output will keep its original channel configuration (play stereo as stereo, or 5.1 as 5.1). Yet, the OS and Audio API might refuse a channel configuration and asks VLC to adapt (Stereo played as 5.1 or vice-versa).

This function allows to force a channel configuration, it will only work if the OS and Audio API accept this configuration (otherwise, it won't have any effects). Here are some examples:

  • Play multi-channels (5.1, 7.1...) as stereo (libvlc_AudioMixMode_Stereo)
  • Play Stereo or 5.1 as 7.1 (libvlc_AudioMixMode_7_1)
  • Play multi-channels as stereo with a binaural effect (libvlc_AudioMixMode_Binaural). It might be selected automatically if the OS and Audio API can detect if a headphone is plugged.
Parameters
p_mimedia player
channelthe audio mix-mode,
See also
libvlc_audio_output_mixmode_t
Returns
0 on success, -1 on error
Version
LibVLC 4.0.0 or later

◆ libvlc_audio_set_mute()

LIBVLC_API void libvlc_audio_set_mute ( libvlc_media_player_t p_mi,
int  status 
)

Set mute status.

Parameters
p_mimedia player
statusIf status is true then mute, otherwise unmute
Warning
This function does not always work. If there are no active audio playback stream, the mute status might not be available. If digital pass-through (S/PDIF, HDMI...) is in use, muting may be unapplicable. Also some audio output plugins do not support muting at all.
Note
To force silent playback, disable all audio tracks. This is more efficient and reliable than mute.

◆ libvlc_audio_set_stereomode()

LIBVLC_API int libvlc_audio_set_stereomode ( libvlc_media_player_t p_mi,
libvlc_audio_output_stereomode_t  mode 
)

Set current audio stereo-mode.

Parameters
p_mimedia player
channelthe audio stereo-mode,
See also
libvlc_audio_output_stereomode_t

int  i_volume 
)

LIBVLC_API void libvlc_audio_toggle_mute ( libvlc_media_player_t p_mi)

Toggle mute status.

Parameters
p_mimedia player
Warning
Toggling mute atomically is not always possible: On some platforms, other processes can mute the VLC audio playback stream asynchronously. Thus, there is a small race condition where toggling will not work. See also the limitations of libvlc_audio_set_mute().

◆ libvlc_media_player_get_role()

LIBVLC_API int libvlc_media_player_get_role ( libvlc_media_player_t p_mi)

Gets the media role.

)

Apply new equalizer settings to a media player.

The equalizer is first created by invoking libvlc_audio_equalizer_new() or libvlc_audio_equalizer_new_from_preset().

It is possible to apply new equalizer settings to a media player whether the media player is currently playing media or not.

Invoking this method will immediately apply the new equalizer settings to the audio output of the currently playing media if there is any.

If there is no currently playing media, the new equalizer settings will be applied later if and when new media is played.

Equalizer settings will automatically be applied to subsequently played media.

To disable the equalizer for a media player invoke this method passing NULL for the p_equalizer parameter.

The media player does not keep a reference to the supplied equalizer so it is safe for an application to release the equalizer reference any time after this method returns.

Parameters
p_miopaque media player handle
p_equalizeropaque equalizer handle, or NULL to disable the equalizer for this media player
Returns
zero on success, -1 on error
