I'm curious how I might go about accessing VLC's live stream downloading capability through the DLL? I'm writing a C# application that needs this ability... I wrote a custom implementation of MMS (a pain) and thought I'd try out the DLL. Basically I have live streams at a designated address that ca...

Sorry I don't do VB.NET, but in C# you'd create a new Windows Application project named Foo and save it. Then copy VLanControl.dll, VLanControl.pdb, libvlc.dll, and the plugins directory to the Foo\Foo\bin\Debug directory of the new project. Add a reference to VLanControl.dll in the new project by ...

Hello,
I don't know the C#.
I use VB6 and I could try VB.net 2005.
Could someone give me a complete exemple in VB6 or VB.net (the code and the VLanControl.dll compiled) ?

Thanks...

Sorry, I don't know normally work in VB and unfortunately do not have the time to convert it for you.

Hi, Maybe it's a stupid question but where I can find the file VLanControl.dll. I didn't see a link to download this file on the http://wiki.videolan.org/.Net_Interface_to_VLC Thanks for your answer. You have to copy all the code into Visual Studio and then compile the project. This generates the V...

I figured you tried that already... send me the hardware and I'll get it to work

Sorry, I couldn't help more.

Sound like you've tried this already, but just in case... Are you using MMS to stream to PPC compared to http? I want to know if you manage to get this to work for future projects. I have not had a PPC for a while, but it "might" work using ASF encapulation streaming WMV1/2. Then in the op...

Well, I haven't tried streaming to a PPC, but I did successfully stream to Windows Media player running on a Windows CE device. In the PPC windows media player, is there a way to open a URL like in the XP version?

I'm looking to do the same thing, but I want to use PCIe. There are a few brands out there. I want to see just how many I can get going on one expanded server. I'll let you know if I can find the funding for the hardware! Here's a question though: Will VLC work with any DirectX compatible tuner? (It...

Tappen, That would be great if there was just a call back. I'll use the timer for now. I figured that is what was going on. On another note, Sometimes if I load multiple VLC windows and one is overlapped, the bottom window goes black. for example, If I have 5 windows open and the sixth loads on top ...

Tappen, Thank you for all your help! I still have an issue with the sizing though and some of the properties... I try sizing the window by the following code: VideoCtrlDataSet.StreamSourcesRow myStream; public ViewVideo(VideoCtrlDataSet.StreamSourcesRow aStream) { InitializeComponent(); myStream = a...

Is there a way to find out the native resolution of the video being displayed and then set the hosted form to that size, just like the native VLC player? Also, I referenced the control by compiling your source and then importing the DLL into the ToolBox... I have gotten a video to play to problem, b...

This works great! I haven't had time to explore all the possiblities yet, but I can now show proof of concept on my projects! Let me know if I can help.

Got it. Thank you for your help.

Generally speaking, is it a better idea to use LibVlc then the ActiveX control, aside from it having more functionality?

Odysee: I just tried your C# Wrapper and I was getting an exception when initialing it. It was saying that the DLL was not registered? VLC is obviously installed in my machine and I am able to use the ActiveX control, but would rather use LibVlc. Could you provide a little more to that sample? Thank...
