    Ended = libvlc_Ended,
    Error = libvlc_Error
};

} // namespace Vlc

三、实战：集成VLC-Qt

3.1 基础集成

// CMakeLists.txt
find_package(VLCQt REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(myapp PRIVATE VLCQt::Core VLCQt::Widgets)

// main.cpp
#include <VLCQt/Common.h>
#include <VLCQt/Instance.h>
#include <VLCQt/Media.h>
#include <VLCQt/MediaPlayer.h>
#include <VLCQt/VideoWidget.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    
    // 1. 初始化VLC实例
    VlcInstance *instance = VlcInstance::instance();
    
    // 2. 创建视频渲染控件
    VlcVideoWidget *videoWidget = new VlcVideoWidget();
    videoWidget->resize(800, 600);
    
    // 3. 创建播放器
    VlcMediaPlayer *player = new VlcMediaPlayer(instance);
    player->setVideoWidget(videoWidget);
    
    // 4. 创建媒体
    VlcMedia *media = new VlcMedia("video.mp4", instance);
    player->setMedia(media);
    
    // 5. 显示并播放
    videoWidget->show();
    player->play();
    
    return app.exec();
}

3.2 完整播放器实现

// VideoPlayer.h
class VideoPlayer : public QWidget
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    explicit VideoPlayer(QWidget *parent = nullptr);
    ~VideoPlayer();
    
    void openFile(const QString &path);
    void openUrl(const QString &url);

private slots:
    void onPlayPause();
    void onStop();
    void onSeek(int value);
    void onVolumeChanged(int value);
    void onMuteToggled();
    
    void onStateChanged(Vlc::State state);
    void onTimeChanged(qint64 time);
    void onLengthChanged(qint64 length);
    void onBuffering(float percent);

private:
    void setupUi();
    void updateControls();
    QString formatTime(qint64 ms) const;

private:
    // VLC组件
    VlcInstance *m_instance;
    VlcMediaPlayer *m_player;
    VlcMedia *m_media;
    VlcVideoWidget *m_videoWidget;
    
    // UI控件
    QPushButton *m_playBtn;
    QPushButton *m_stopBtn;
    QPushButton *m_muteBtn;
    QSlider *m_seekSlider;
    QSlider *m_volumeSlider;
    QLabel *m_timeLabel;
    QLabel *m_bufferLabel;
    QProgressBar *m_bufferProgress;
};

// VideoPlayer.cpp
VideoPlayer::VideoPlayer(QWidget *parent)
    : QWidget(parent)
{
    setupUi();
    
    // 初始化VLC
    m_instance = VlcInstance::instance();
    m_player = new VlcMediaPlayer(m_instance, this);
    
    // 设置视频渲染
    m_videoWidget = new VlcVideoWidget(this);
    m_player->setVideoWidget(m_videoWidget);
    
    // 连接信号
    connect(m_player, &VlcMediaPlayer::stateChanged, 
            this, &VideoPlayer::onStateChanged);
    connect(m_player, &VlcMediaPlayer::timeChanged, 
            this, &VideoPlayer::onTimeChanged);
    connect(m_player, &VlcMediaPlayer::lengthChanged, 
            this, &VideoPlayer::onLengthChanged);
    connect(m_player, &VlcMediaPlayer::buffering, 
            this, &VideoPlayer::onBuffering);
    
    // 连接UI
    connect(m_playBtn, &QPushButton::clicked, this, &VideoPlayer::onPlayPause);
    connect(m_stopBtn, &QPushButton::clicked, this, &VideoPlayer::onStop);
    connect(m_seekSlider, &QSlider::sliderMoved, this, &VideoPlayer::onSeek);
    connect(m_volumeSlider, &QSlider::valueChanged, this, &VideoPlayer::onVolumeChanged);
    connect(m_muteBtn, &QPushButton::clicked, this, &VideoPlayer::onMuteToggled);
}

void VideoPlayer::openFile(const QString &path)
{
    if (m_media) {
        delete m_media;
    }
    
    m_media = new VlcMedia(path, m_instance);
    m_player->setMedia(m_media);
    m_player->play();
}

void VideoPlayer::openUrl(const QString &url)
{
    if (m_media) {
        delete m_media;
    }
    
    m_media = new VlcMedia(url, m_instance);
    m_player->setMedia(m_media);
    m_player->play();
}

void VideoPlayer::onPlayPause()
{
    if (m_player->isPlaying()) {
        m_player->pause();
        m_playBtn->setText("播放");
    } else {
        m_player->play();
        m_playBtn->setText("暂停");
    }
}

void VideoPlayer::onSeek(int value)
{
    qint64 time = (qint64)value * m_player->length() / 1000;
    m_player->setTime(time);
}

void VideoPlayer::onTimeChanged(qint64 time)
{
    qint64 length = m_player->length();
    if (length > 0) {
        m_seekSlider->blockSignals(true);
        m_seekSlider->setValue(time * 1000 / length);
        m_seekSlider->blockSignals(false);
    }
    
    m_timeLabel->setText(formatTime(time) + " / " + formatTime(length));
}

void VideoPlayer::onBuffering(float percent)
{
    m_bufferProgress->setValue((int)percent);
    m_bufferLabel->setVisible(percent < 100.0f);
}

QString VideoPlayer::formatTime(qint64 ms) const
{
    int seconds = (int)(ms / 1000);
    int h = seconds / 3600;
    int m = (seconds % 3600) / 60;
    int s = seconds % 60;
    
    return QString("%1:%2:%3")
        .arg(h, 2, 10, QChar('0'))
        .arg(m, 2, 10, QChar('0'))
        .arg(s, 2, 10, QChar('0'));
}

四、高级功能

4.1 多轨道管理

// 音频轨道切换
QList<VlcAudioTrack> audioTracks = m_player->audio()->tracks();
for (const auto &track : audioTracks) {
    qDebug() << track.id() << track.description();
}
m_player->audio()->setTrack(trackId);

// 字幕轨道切换
QList<VlcSubtitleTrack> subtitleTracks = m_player->video()->subtitles();
m_player->video()->setSubtitle(subtitleId);

// 加载外挂字幕
m_player->video()->setSubtitleFile("subtitle.srt");

4.2 播放速度控制

// 变速播放（0.25x - 4x）
m_player->setRate(1.5f);  // 1.5倍速

// 快进/快退
void fastForward() {
    float rate = m_player->rate();
    m_player->setRate(qMin(rate + 0.25f, 4.0f));
}

void fastRewind() {
    float rate = m_player->rate();
    m_player->setRate(qMax(rate - 0.25f, 0.25f));
}

4.3 视频滤镜

// 调整亮度/对比度/饱和度
m_player->video()->setBrightness(1.2f);   // 亮度+20%
m_player->video()->setContrast(1.1f);     // 对比度+10%
m_player->video()->setSaturation(0.8f);   // 饱和度-20%

// 旋转视频
m_player->video()->setRotation(90);  // 旋转90度

// 裁剪视频
m_player->video()->setCropGeometry("16:9");

4.4 截图和录制

// 截图
m_player->takeSnapshot("screenshot.png", 1920, 1080);

// 录制（需要VLC支持）
m_player->record("output.mp4");

五、网络流播放

5.1 RTSP流

// RTSP摄像头流
VlcMedia *media = new VlcMedia("rtsp://192.168.1.100:554/stream", m_instance);
media->setOption("network-caching=300");  // 缓存300ms
m_player->setMedia(media);
m_player->play();

5.2 HLS流

// HLS直播流
VlcMedia *media = new VlcMedia("https://example.com/live.m3u8", m_instance);
m_player->setMedia(media);
m_player->play();

5.3 自定义网络选项

VlcMedia *media = new VlcMedia(url, m_instance);
media->setOption("http-user-agent=MyPlayer/1.0");
media->setOption("http-referrer=https://example.com");
media->setOption("network-caching=1000");  // 1秒缓存
m_player->setMedia(media);

六、硬解配置

6.1 启用硬解

// 初始化时指定硬解参数
QStringList args;
args << "--no-video-title-show";  // 不显示标题
#ifdef Q_OS_WIN
    args << "--avcodec-hw=dxva2";  // Windows DXVA2
#elif defined(Q_OS_LINUX)
    args << "--avcodec-hw=vaapi";  // Linux VA-API
#elif defined(Q_OS_MAC)
    args << "--avcodec-hw=videotoolbox";  // macOS VideoToolbox
#endif

VlcInstance *instance = new VlcInstance(args);

七、事件处理

7.1 libVLC事件绑定

// VlcMediaPlayer内部使用libvlc_event_attach
void MediaPlayer::attachEvents()
{
    libvlc_event_manager_t *manager = 
        libvlc_media_player_event_manager(m_player);
    
    libvlc_event_attach(manager, libvlc_MediaPlayerStateChanged, 
                        onStateChanged, this);
    libvlc_event_attach(manager, libvlc_MediaPlayerTimeChanged, 
                        onTimeChanged, this);
    libvlc_event_attach(manager, libvlc_MediaPlayerPositionChanged, 
                        onPositionChanged, this);
}

// 事件回调
void MediaPlayer::onStateChanged(const libvlc_event_t *event, void *data)
{
    MediaPlayer *self = static_cast<MediaPlayer*>(data);
    Vlc::State state = static_cast<Vlc::State>(event->u.media_player_state.new_state);
    emit self->stateChanged(state);
}

八、总结

VLC-Qt的核心优势：

1. 全格式支持：VLC内置解码器，无需系统依赖
2. 网络流完整：RTSP/RTMP/HLS等全协议支持
3. 控制精细：速度、轨道、滤镜、录制等高级功能
4. 跨平台一致：Windows/Linux/macOS行为统一

对于需要专业视频播放能力的Qt应用（媒体播放器、监控系统、直播应用），VLC-Qt是首选方案。
