ActiveX streaming from vb6

Postby chx2k » 15 Oct 2005 20:47

Hello,

I tried to stream out using the vlc activex in vb6, but I had no luck.
I can play files, urls and dshow device with no problem but I'm not sure how they can be streamed out.

Basicaly I put the MRL string that was generated by the vlc.exe into the
MRL of the activeX and that did not work, then I put the same string in the
addtarget's uri argument and that also did not work.

I wasn't able to use the options argument in addtarget either, because anything other than "null" would give me "invalid procedure call or argument".

I tried with 0.8.4-test1a and the nightlybuild 20051015.

So my questions are:

Is it possible to stream out using the latest vlc activex in vb6?

If it is possible, could someone post a small example, or explain how?

If it's not possible to stream out yet, does anyone know if there are plans to add this option in the near future?

Thank you.

I just want to post an update to my previous post:

I did figure out how to pass options to the addTarget's options argument and here is an example for anyone that might need this info.

Code: Select all

Dim options() As Variant options() = Array(":input-repeat=1") Me.VLCPlugin1.addTarget "c:\dir\file.mpg", options, VLCPlayListAppendAndGo, -666
But still no luck with stream out, so if anyone can answer my questions it would be great.

Thank you
