在C ++项目中使用LibVLC [Mac OS X-Xcode]

Question

I am writing an application that catch a stream video from a wifi camera and I am using LibVLC to retrieve the video.

So, before implementing my application, I have tested LibVLC with the example code, but it crashes on function libvlc_media_new_location

I am using this Framework on Mac OS X El Capitan with Xcode, the dialect of C++ is std=c++11 and libc++ (LLVM).

This is the example code that doesn't work:

libvlc_instance_t * inst;
libvlc_media_player_t *mp;
libvlc_media_t *m;

/* Load the VLC engine */
inst = libvlc_new (0, NULL);

/* Create a nxxew item, this is the line that crashes*/
m = libvlc_media_new_location (inst, "http://mycool.movie.com/test.mov"); 

/* Create a media player playing environement */
mp = libvlc_media_player_new_from_media (m);

/* No need to keep the media now */
libvlc_media_release (m);

Could you help me please ? Thanks in advance for response.

One possible reason could be the bug in libvlc 2.2.x which not allow use it outside VLC.app (due to fail load plugins, since plugins try search libvlccore.dylib in wrong place). As workaround you should use slightly modified VLC tree. You could get it already prepared from one of my projects .
