Unexpected video_update_viewpoint behavior
I have noticed different behavior when using the video_update_viewpoint() function on a mediaplayer spawned from a specifically created instance vs a directly spawned media player.
for example:
import vlc
p = vlc.MediaPlayer('V1.mp4')
p.play()
v = vlc.libvlc_video_new_viewpoint()
p.video_update_viewpoint(v,True)
while p.get_state() !=6:
continue
Produces a video with a viewpoint altered from the default (though I am still unclear how to control it).
Whereas:
import vlc
i = vlc.Instance()
p = i.media_player_new()
m = i.media_new('V1.mp4')
m.get_mrl()
p.set_media(m)
v = vlc.libvlc_video_new_viewpoint()
p.video_update_viewpoint(v,True)
p.play()
while p.get_state() != 6:
continue
Plays with the default viewpoint().
Is it correct to expect these two approaches to produce the same result?
Unfortunately it still does not produce the correct behavior. The viewpoint remains unaltered.
