let me get together the changes for the freeze on last frame option and i'll post them - pretty simple to do that - i'm working on some other stuff that is not so simple...

I appreciate and understand your point of view - I'm not sure how allowing software to use GPL services that are an alternative to commercial software that is available to do the same things (sometimes technically "free" and well-documented as well, although not open-source - i.e. Windows ...

Well the GPL does say that "The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program)." I've always thought that if a program was being la...

By the way, thank you very much for your detailed responses - it goes a long way to help clarify this issue, as the ins and outs of what is ok and what is not in specific applications of the GPL are not usually spelled out very clearly. GPLV2 leaves a lot up to interpretation, fortunately or unfortu...

So, since VLC has DBus and ActiveX interface, which is it legal to interface with, if it was wanted to use features of VLC in a commercial application that were not available in the current DBus and ActiveX interfaces, could someone modify the DBus and ActiveX sources and VLC source as necessary to ...

Sorry if the following runs on...please bear with me. I was not talking about building an application on VLC, but merely using VLC to playback video from another application. That could be accomplished, for example, by calling it indirectly from a command shell - that does not bring the calling prog...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but GPL only applies if you distribute or sell the application to a 3rd party. In-house commercial or personal use/modification is ok without disclosure of source, from my understanding of the GPL. For example, lots of companies have websites powered by GPL software with mod...

if you have an programmed application that is using vlc, you can just intercept mouse events to determine when/where the mouse is being clicked...different ways of doing this depending on the language...

sorry - geek speak I guess - I just wanted to say I managed to implement a parameter to get a video to pause at the end frame without too much trouble and minimal changes to the codebase (maybe a dozen lines of code), so it is possible to do.

In response to my own question above, I have added an option/parameter to the input module in vlc that allows the video to be paused on the last frame automatically without the video player exiting (requires modification of the source code). It can be applied globally or per-stream and basically jus...

A further related question: I see that Chris Meadowcroft has published a C# library with bindings / loading of libvlc.dll using the LGPL license, which would allow proprietary applications to link to VLC indirectly under the LGPL license as long as (if) any changes to the C# bindings library are pub...

Lol, i understand if you have more important matters to attend to. I'll take a look if I get some free time - i've just started to peruse the source. Seriously i have not looked at the asynchronous event chain in the application, and I understand the disconnected nature of the stream processing and ...

Just add a reference to the vlc com activex dll and then it should appear in the toolbox - drag it onto the form and set the defaults from the control properties sheet. Alternately you can instantiate it yourself - once you have the reference imported you can use the object browser to check out the ...

Forgive my ignorance, but for frame advance, couldn't a flag be developed/set to have the playback decode paused on the next decoded/displayed picture? When in that mode play would then just advance to the next (decoded) picture. It would allow at least frame by frame advance - understand that frame...

I am wondering if there is an option in VLC to pause on the last frame of a played video rather than closing the video window. Also in a javascript / html interface, is there a way to have notification when a video completes playback?
