multiple vlc activex instance

[yanrx]

I am coding an project which use multiple instances of VLC activex to show 16-64 video camera in PC. using vc6.0;

the problem is, when the vlc number is upto 10, there are often an error saying: "Unhandle exception in xxx.exe(libvlccore.dll): 0xc00000005: Access Violation".

the code is as follows:

VARIANT va;
VariantInit(&va);

m_vlc1.addTarget("rtsp://192.168.1.39/xxx.mp4", va, 4, 0);
m_vlc1.SetAutoLoop(TRUE);
m_vlc1.play();
.....
m_vlc10.play();

Anyone could help me? Thanks

- "m_vlc1.addTarget" : you are using an old, deprecated, interface of the activex. You should use AxVLC2 and the playlist.add(url, name, options) call.
- not sure setautoloop will work. better to force it twice using the call "m_vlc1.playlist/add(.., .., ":loop")"
- you can maybe browse the wiki (wiki.videolan.org) or this forum about the mosaic feature.

if you do not use a recent VLC, it will not support to be opened in multiple instances in one process. You can try last versions. I think older 0.9.8a was working too.
