[Qt Widget + libvlc] catching mouse events

[mentalmushroom]

As far as I know, there are no such functions in libvlc as libvlc_set_key_input or libvlc_set_mouse_input. If you meant libvlc_video_set_key_input and libvlc_video_set_mouse_input, yes, I've tried it as I wrote in the original post. These functions control whether vlc should handle mouse events, but I don't want to disable it, because then DVD menu won't work. I just need to add some custom processing, so I could show a menu on right click.

Regarding the second idea, maybe I misunderstand something, but it seems like disabling QFrame doesn't affect anything when video is played inside the frame and mouse handling is enabled for libvlc.

I didn't mean either (as I am not a vlc user and don't know its API) - I just quoted the post from the link you posted - its probably a version issue, and I guess the methods you are using are the correct ones.

The idea was that if the QFrame is disabled, so must all its children be - thus they will not get any mouse events.
But even if it would work - you still have the problem using the regular vlc DVD menu which you do want.

It seems to me this is strictly VLC issue - as you stated - and specifically - about how vlc propagates (or not) events to the host windows.
You might have more luck in VLC specific forums.

Good luck!
