Client API examples
===================

All these examples use the mpv client API through libmpv.

cocoa
-----

Shows how to embed the mpv video window in Objective-C/Cocoa.

qt
--

Shows how to embed the mpv video window in Qt (using normal desktop widgets).

qml
---

Shows how to use mpv's OpenGL video renderer in QtQuick2 with QML.

qml_direct
----------

Alternative example, which typically avoids a FBO indirection. Might be
slightly faster, but is less flexible and harder to use.

simple
------

Very primitive terminal-only example. Shows some most basic API usage.
DOCS/client_api_examples: add an alternative qml example This one avoids use of a FBO. It's less flexible, because it uses works around the whole QML rendering API. It seems to be the only way to get OpenGL rendering without any indirections, though. Parts of this example were insipired by Qt's "Squircle" example. Also add a README file with a short description of each example, to reduce the initial confusing. 2015-01-08 01:40:30 +00:00			`Client API examples`

build: remove bogus client API examples build The symlink trick made waf go crazy (deleting source files, getting tangled up in infinite recursion... I wish I was joking). This means we still can't build the client API examples in a reasonable way using the include files of the local repository (instead of globally installed headers). Not building them at all is better than deleting source files. Instead, provide some manual instructions how to build each example (except for the Qt examples, which provide qmake project files). 2015-01-23 14:32:23 +00:00			`qt`
