The VideoLAN Forums

Sorry for pushing this topic but elsewhere I'd to start a new one just changing the VLC version to 0.8.6a

Is there any trick to let the Control show up the menu (e.g. define some key stroke to open the menu)? Would be very helpful!

Thanx

Jochen

Well, actually it's much easier as described: when using (.NET) Process.Start(url) the IE is started with the -nohome option - I think the url will be transferred using DDE. The contol thinks that VLC.EXE is started and scans the command line which is very wrong in this case. For now I patched the r...

I've a web page with the VLC Control on it which works (more or less but I think this is either my fault or a point for another post) as it was intended. Sometimes I get a 'Usage' error command line window which in addition creates a file 'vlc-help.txt' with the syntax of a regular vlc.exe call (sta...

Thanks for the information. The setting improved the display (esp. CPU reduces to around 28%) but didn't fully make it during the animation scenes (although most of it is now shown).

Bye

I tried the sample track from this thread on my Pentium D830 machine - Dual Core with 3GHz each. It played fine until the first matrix scene. Then the picture freezes and at the end of this animation scene after some jerky frames it continues - until the next animation. I tried 0.9.0 nightly build a...

It works !! Thank you very much

For the papers which one? You needed both or the NULL Stuff?

For the NULL I'm not quite sure: the input parameter is a VARIANT and what you want to put in is a VT_EMPTY, so perhaps try _variant_t() instead of the NULL. In addition I think I read something about the INSERT mode which should / can not be used for some reason. Actually I use APPEND, perhaps this...

As far as I understand the second parameter to addTarget (which is a COM VARIANT) is either Empty / NULL / whatever OR a COM SAFEARRAY of strings, each holding a single option (:OPTION=VALUE). At least from C# this is the way it works.

Well - actually I'm working with DVB streams which have PTS and DTS so I'm not much of a help. And generating the PCR from it is neither a problem, so...

Sorry

Can the ActiveX control (0.8.5) be configured to handle the right mouse button and show the VLC executables context menu?

If you create the TS on your own: VLC depends heavily on a correcty [well - nearly makes it, too] PCR - no PCR, no play. For all the TS players I tested with my TS files VLC is the only one with this dependency (others are: Windows Media Player, MPC, Nero ShowTime and TSPlayer from DVBViewer). In ad...

It seems as if VLC will not play a TS with only a single audio stream (no video) in it (radio transmission). Is this so or am I missing some setiings? All other TS players (including Windows Media Player and Nero ShowTime) I have will do so. Any hint welcome! Jochen <Edit>Solved it: I forgot to gene...

The BDA API is actually really simple. From some point of view - sure. But it's fairly incomplete. As far as I know the current version fully (hmm - see below) supports only DVB-T. Concerning DVB-S the DiSEqC specs is missing so each vendor takes his own route. For DVB-C there are some leaks in the...

Try http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/video ... 8.5-test3/

Doesn't look any better. In addition it seems as if now even aspect ration changes (4:3 / 16:9) are no longer detected - well currently I've no time for more detailed interrogation maybe it's my fault.

Thanks

Jochen

I'm using the 0.8.4a control in a C# DVB application and it seems to be very stable. I tried to find out a way to choose between different audio tracks and the only hint in this forum brough me to clearing the playlist and adding a new entry with the :audio-track option. Although this works the chan...

I connect VLC to some UDP port to which a DVB application sends a single channel with all related streams (video, audio, videotext [ok - not yet working] and some SI tables) in Transport Stream format. As far as I can see this is working quite well. BUT: if the channel changes while VLC (0.8.4a) is ...

Hmm, actually I can play 'normal' TS files with quite a lot of players on my XP Pro SP2. Beside VLC there are Nero ShowTime, Media Player, Media Player Classic (MPC), DVBViewers TSPlayer. Even a simple Render Media File in GraphEdit.exe works fine. At least the free MPC would be worth a try to see i...

From what source do you get the TS? Sounds like the internal structure is somewhat misaligned, e.g. packetizing or PCR. Take a look in the Debug or Messages window which may give some additional hints on what's wrong. I've some software to record DVB which generates TS files and it took me a long wa...

Currently I'm playing with different ways to generate TS files. The old version worked quite well with VLC but not with some other players. After I changed a bit I got some strange behaviour in VLC 0.8.2 which I would like to understand - actually I'm sure that the TS generator is somewhat wrong and...

I would like to add a second comment to the behaviour which is a bit different from yours (not on the web interface, but similiar use case): I use VLC for timeshifting TS recordings ( local path ). In contrast to your case VLC does not end early when reaching the position which had been the end of t...

Well I don't know TSReader but other Tools simply send the TS stream to some TCP/IP UDP port (unicast and multicast) where you can connect VLC to, e.g. vlc.exe udp://@:2910 . Then some control application is used to talk to the Tool to switch channels - vlc is left untouched. What DVB card do you ha...

Although I didn't play around with the source code I tried the TS generation using the wizard in the executable lately - since I was investigating this format for one of my private projects . Concerning ProjectX the TS format seems to have a single issue: PAT and PMT could not be found. The reason f...
