I just committed some code to linked branch. In vlcplayer.py we have to use function .set_nsobject() to tell the vlc backend where the video should be rendered.
However, the video reset() function does not work on OSX. Comment this function makes the playback working in preview. There are still some remaining issues like: - control buttons not working - video on second screen is not displayed - probably something else ** Branch linked: lp:~mzibricky/openlp/bug-963955 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenLP Core, which is subscribed to OpenLP. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/963955 Title: VLC backend for Mac OS X Status in OpenLP - Worship Presentation Software: Confirmed Bug description: VLC backend does not work on Mac. Instructing OpenLP to use vlc backend causes OpenLP to stuck and the application is not responding. Video playback starts when not trying reset video playback in openly. However the issue is that playback start in an external window and not in openly window. Getting vlc backend to work is platform specific thing and this needs to be implemented specifically for Mac. The issue is: Force vlc backend to render video inside a Qt window of OpenLP. To fi this we will need implement similar code like the following file: http://code.google.com/p/movie-content-editor/source/browse/trunk/VLCMacVideo.py Technically speaking wrapping native Mac OS X NSView window into class QtGui.QMacCocoaViewContainer.
