How to play mp3 file in vlc with c ++
I need to write C ++ code that plays a specific song in VLC. I did some research but I didn't find too many.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
//#include "VLCWrapper.h"
//#include<libvlccore.dll>
//#include<libvlc.dll>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Welcome to VLC launcher program!" << endl;
cout << "Please enter a filename: ";
string filename;
getline(cin, filename);
string comm = "vlc \"";
comm += filename + "\"";
system(comm.c_str()); //call VLC with the file "filename"
return 0;
}
This is what I found, but when I compile, "vlc" is not recognized as an internal or external command executable or batch file. I need help please.

You most likely have no path vlc
in the path, since when I compile it
(should have added this)
#include <cstdlib>
it works fine (I compiled it with g++
):
$ ./a.out Welcome to VLC launcher program!

You can try replacing vlc
with full path (for example /usr/bin/vlc
) ...
In case you are on Windows (you have bad ones) it will be the same, just Google is not an internal or external team, and there will be some advice on how to fix it.
Also, you will need vlc.exe
, perhaps I have never used the command line on Windows, so not sure how it works there.
