PipeWire plug-in for LibVLC
============================
Requirements
------------
This plugin requires:
- LibVLC version 3.x development files,
- The corresponding C compiler and linker,
- PipeWire 0.3.50 (or later) development files.
The way to obtain those depends on your system. On a Debian system
(or any derivative such as Ubuntu or Raspian), you can try these commands:
# sudo apt-get install gcc libvlccore-dev libpipewire-0.3-dev
Installation
------------
If you have not already done so, download the plug-in source code, e.g.:
# sudo apt-get install git
# git clone https://git.remlab.net/git/vlc-plugin-pipewire.git
Then compile the source code:
# cd vlc-plugin-pipewire
# make
And finally install the plug-in:
# sudo make install-strip
NOTE: Any active VLC instance (or other LibVLC application) must be restarted
to detect the newly installed plug-in.
Usage
-----
The plug-in runs automatically assuming that PipeWire is available in the user
session. No further actions are required.
Uninstallation
--------------
Should you wish to uninstall this plug-in, run the following commands:
# cd vlc-plugin-pipewire
# sudo make uninstall
Then restart any ongoing instance of VLC or other LibVLC application.
Knonwn issues
---------------
Issues with the plugin:
# S/PDIF and HDMI codec pass-through mode is not supported yet.
# Exclusive mode audio is not supported yet.
# Audio and video inputs from PipeWire are not supported yet.
Issues with PipeWire (as of version 0.3.50):
# Changing device while playing does not work yet.
Support
-------
There is no support whatsoever. Use at your own risk.
