The VideoLAN Forums

Able to confirm that what you suggested worked, command-line options are case-senitive and the tracks are number from 0. Track 1=0

Many thanks

Still trying to have a DVD when started by Command line play a predetermined track. Typically a DVD will have 3 Audio Tracks, eg Track1 2.0, Track 2 Dolby 5.1, or Track 3 DTS 5.1. From what I can find in the Forum one of the pieces of code that is discussed is using something like : --audio-track=<i...

Recently changed from release 0.9 to 1.0.1 and have found the following issues with ActiveX in the new version. Have the ActiveX embedded in an Access 2003 form and control is by VB. Hot Key Issues, 1 Key F no longer returns the display from full screen, worked previously 2 Key B no longer cycles th...

Firstly hope I have put this in the right place. If not I am sure I will be directed to the right place. Have 2 Questions for comment: 1 - Have been testing a few of the nightly builds of VLC 1.0 and have just downloaded version 1.1.0 dated the 22 June 2009 and there still seems to be an issue tryin...

Just wandering if there has been any work done to make SPDIF available with ActiveX

Thanks for confirming that, Is it likley to be altered so that ActiveX will use SPDIF in the near future?

In stand alone mode if I go to: Tools, Messages, - I see the following message line; dts info:DTS Channels:6 SampleRate:48000 BitRate 768000 Then if I look at the Modules Tree I see the following: decoder "dts" audio output "waveout" audio output "dtstospdif" from the &...

Tried the suggestion to remove, remove libaout_directx_plugin.dll from your VLC plugins But this made no difference, if I set set the spdif feature in stand alone mode I get “choppy” sound with no wave out set. Presumably if I do the same thing in code and only have, ReDim Options(2) Options(0) = &q...

Have tested the mvarPLNo = mobjPlayer.playlist.Add(strFullFileName, strMovieName, Options) with full screen and aspect ratio as options and the player will start in full screen and with the desired aspect ratio on opening, so I would assume from this that this is the place to put all the initial opt...

Have tried your suggestion and still no success, When I tried: \\Mediacentre\drive G\VideoFolder\DVDName\video_ts@1:1-1:24 :spdif :aout=”Win32 waveOut extension output” With this being part of strFullFileName the DVD failed to play, without the array option. mvarPLNo = mobjPlayer.playlist.Add(strFul...

Have changed the code slightly and made the PlayList.Add Options as an Array Dim Options1() As Variant ReDim Options1(0) Options1(0) = ":spdif:aout=""Win32 waveOut extension output""" And to reflect the change also altered mvarPLNo = mobjPlayer.playlist.Add(strFullFileN...

Still have had no success with getting the audio to work correctly under ActiveX conditions. Will just recap were I am with this project. Firstly can someone confirm that as an ActiveX player all the features of the stand alone player are available to use, just that they have to be done with code. T...

Would I be correct to presume that at some stage if I download a Nightly Build I may well find this feature corrected?

Have developed my code as below, Is this what you would expect the initialize code to look like? Example: \\Mediacentre\drive G\VideoFolder\DVDName\video_ts@1:6-1:24@1:6-1:24:spdif:aout=Win32 waveOut extension output Was not sure if you add the - <Win32 waveOut extension output> as the string conten...

Don't under stand what you mean by "initialize ActiveX ", what I have here is VLC ActiveX embedded in an Access 2003 form. Have then set a reference to "C:\Program Files\VideoLan\VLC\axvlc.dll". Then using the "Object Browser" I have been able to workout to do such thin...

Have the “S/PDIF when available” option set, along with the “Win32 wave out extension output” which works fine as a standard player and I have sound out of front centre speaker. Am unable to get sound from centre speaker in ActiveX mode even if I cycle through the 3 different Track options. What do ...

In the HotKey Options, it shows an option to, Cycle through audio devices, HotKey S, this is also the HotKey used for Stop. In standard mode was able to change, Cycle through audio devices, to HotKey Y. Also found that custom HotKeys don’t appear to be an option in ActiveX and that the only keys tha...

Problem Solved - After Adding new entries to Playlist ran code in this order

.playlist.playItem (0)
.playlist.Next

This moved to the start of the new entries

Have VLC as an ActiveX embedded in an Access form and control VLC with Access VB code. Have Access load 20 media files and the playing and navigating through these is fine. My issue is that if I use the following code to try and clear the Playlist: Public mobjPlayer As VLCPlugin2 Set mobjPlayer = Me...

I understand that resources are limited, just wandering how do we know in the future if this issue has been resolved.

Thanks

Have used various Keys for this function, "U", "X" & "Shift +X" together and they all work fine when the player is being used in a stand alone situation, but when it is being used as an ActiveX there is no change when trying to cycle audio tracks. Any chance of some...

Have VLC Media Player 0.0.94 in an Access form as an ActiveX component and have issues with the “Hot Key” function – Cycle Audio Tracks. When VLC Media Player has the focus and is in Full Screen mode it is possible to do most of the other “HotKey” function, like next & previous chapters, toggle ...

Has any one had any experience using the AppActivate function within Access to change the focus to VCL Media Play so that one is able to send key strokes from Access to VCL using the SendKeys function. Did you use the following while VLC was running; SendKeys("String-Title") If you had suc...

May be this thread can now be closed as it would appear that it is not possible with commandline switches to set Audio options on startup

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the advice. Is there any way with commandline switches that I can set up to have VLC start playing a DVD with a particular audio type?

As an alternative do I have the ability to force any audio, say 5.1 DTS?
