player

This is a package that allows to play media files/stream in Go. See demo in ./cmd/player.

A minimal example to play a media file/stream would be:

    m := player.NewManager(types.OptionPathToMPV(*mpvPath))
    p, err := m.NewPlayer(ctx, "player demonstration", player.BackendBuiltinLibAV) // available values: player.BackendLibVLC, player.BackendMPV, player.BackendBuiltinLibAV
    if err != nil {
        return fmt.Errorf("unable to open a media player: %w", err)
    }

    err = p.OpenURL(ctx, mediaPath)
    if err != nil {
        return fmt.Errorf("unable to open the url '%s': %v", mediaPath, err)
    }

• To have the support of BackendLibVLC one must build with tag with_libvlc.
• To have the support of BackendBuiltinLibAV one must build with tag with_libav.

An example how to run the demo:

go run -tags with_libvlc ./cmd/player/ --backend libvlc MY_MEDIA_FILE_HERE

Or:

go run -tags with_libav ./cmd/player/ --backend builtin_libav MY_MEDIA_FILE_HERE

Expected result:
