Hello everyone, I am trying to use the :start-time option to start playing a video at an arbitary point. Everything works fine if the start-time specified is below 4294. if the time is 4295 or higher the stream starts from start. Any suggestions why this is happening and how to bypass it? Thank you ...

Hello everyone! I want to play a file from say it's 5th second. Is this possible? I manage to do it from the command line using the --start-time parameter however I found no way to do so programmatically when using the ActiveX. I tried out several reasonable-looking options as parameters to the addT...

Here is the delphi code libvlc wrapper unit vlc; interface type vlc_bool_t=integer; vlc_int64_t=int64; //typedef struct vlc_list_t vlc_list_t; //typedef struct vlc_object_t vlc_object_t; const VLC_VAR_VOID =$0010; VLC_VAR_BOOL =$0020; VLC_VAR_INTEGER =$0030; VLC_VAR_HOTKEY =$0031; VLC_VAR_STRING =$0...

Thanks!! the code worked fine in my delphi application. Just some issues I came accross for general reference: -- note to use the cdecl calling convention when importing the functions (it took me some time to figure that out) -- set vlc_value_t to int64 as (correct me if I'm wrong) there are no unio...

I had a similar problem with volume and mute. In my case it seemed that the last set volume affected all other instances not immediatly but when the next file played in those instances. A rather strange workaround that worked in my case was to set the volume through a timer 500ms after issuing the p...

Hi there, I am using the ActiveX from a delphi application and get some access violation messages. It seems that I get the messages when I try to clear the playlist and addTarget with insertAndGo very quickly (changing it again before the previous call to addTarget actually starts playing the video)...

Hi there, I am trying to play a video from a point other than its start (i.e. 5th second) and have several issues. Is there a startup parameter that I could pass to addTarget to deal with this? Currently I am setting the Time property of the ActiveX control but it doesn't seem to work well. It seems...

Thank you for your reply, is there any documentation of that API?

Thanks agains,

Hello everyone, I've been dealing with some nasty issues while trying to incorporate the VLC ActiveX in an application and was wondering wether it is possible to use a dll (libvlc.dll) directly to simplify the design and hopefully avoid these issues.
