The VideoLAN Forums

@wingchunna - Did you get thus working? I am having the same problem. The options are ignored. I am doing the following and it is ignoring my options: String[] options = { "--preferred-resolution=240" }; int id = axVLCPlugin21.playlist.add("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbVennP7Sqw&...
