What is the event for "the file is ready to play"?

[HubKing]

I have a question (pick one) about Vlc.DotNet.

Generic information

• Vlc.DotNet version : 3.1.0
• Vlc.DotNet project used : WinForms
• libvlc version : x64
• .net version : 4.8
• Project language : C#
• Project build architecture : x64
• Operating system : Windows 10 x64

Summary

I wanted to open a video file with multiple audio tracks, and set a specific audio track. I tried the "Opening" event, but Audio.Tracks was empty at that point. Then I tried the "Playing" event. Audio.Tracks was filled. But this event is also called when resuming the video from pause. If I use the "Playing" event to set the audio track number, then I would be doing unnecessary things at each pause/resume.

Not just for this case, there could be various other things that I want to do only once when the file is first parsed and ready. What is the solution? Is there another event like "the file is ready to play", or should I keep my own variable to track whether it is the first "Playing" event for this file or not?

• [ v ] I confirm that my issue doesn't happen in VLC itself.

Parsed?

[HubKing]

Using that term, I searched and found this

namespace Vlc.DotNet.Core.Interops.Signatures
{
    public enum EventTypes
      : int
    {
        MediaParsedChanged,

, but I cannot find any "Parsed" event in the VlcControl class. The MediaChanged event does not seem to be it. How can I get the "Parsed" event?

Create a Media instance, call Parse on it, and wait for the ParsedChanged event.
