You need to use libvlc for this.

I am; that's how I'm using it as a control in VB.NET. I'm asking if and how I can specify the audio output device using the libvlc control.

I've got a VLC control in a VB.NET program, and I want to be able to set the audio output device. I tried changing the device used by the installed VLC software, but it seems as though the VLC control doesn't use those settings.

Any ideas?

It's now giving me another error: "Failed to create component 'AxHost'. The error message follows: 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8004D73F): This is not a COM component."

I can't find any useful documentation. Anyone got any ideas?

I have a DVB receiver that works when I use it with its own software, but I want to be able to use it via VLC. I found out (from this page https://ukfree.tv/transmitters/tv/Bellingham/PGSTART10) that the transponder frequency is 474 MHz, but I wasn't sure if the bandwidth, so I left it at auto. When...

The option still isn't there. The only way I can use VLC in a program is if I make a copy of a program that already has it added. I can't add the VLC plugin to a project. I suspect that that is why the option isn't being added; the old version from the old program I keep having to copy remains the s...

Have you installed 32bit and 64bit at the same time?

I tried one at a time and both together. Neither worked.

I installed the newest version, but it didn't make a difference.

Sometimes when I use vlc.playlist.stop, it freezes the program. Is there a way to stop this?

This property should be available in AxVLCPlugin2, which you use.
Which VLC version do you use?

2.2.1. I've tried upgrading to a newer version, but it hasn't affected the activeX.

Thanks for the response. I don't have that option. I'm using plug-in version 2.

Hi. I have found that double clicking the VLC control in VB.net makes it switch to full screen, and that the controls at the bottom become visible. Is there a way of disabling them?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Any ideas?

I discovered why the play key stopped working in the program. VLC was capturing the key. I am now using getasynckeys and it works.

Where can I download those versions?

I'm shelling to VLC from VB.net in order to record streams, and I'm using '--qt-start-minimized --qt-notification={0}' to hide it in the system tray, but it still captures hotkeys. Is there a way to disable the hotkeys?

VLC 32-bit is installed. I don't know where to get VLC 64-bit.

vlc.input.time also returns 0?

Yup.

Which version of VLC do you use?

2.2.1

I appreciate you trying.

The easiest way should be to start VLC directly with the command line string. (VB.net should be able to do this) Thanks for the response. The issue is that it limits the amount of control I have over the shelled program. For instance, what if the user might want to pause the recording part way thro...

Hi. I'm using VB.net to make a program that plays live streams. I've found that it's possible to pause the video, and also change the playback speed, meaning that you can catch back up with the live stream. However, as input.position and input.time return 0, I don't know how to check when the playba...

Thanks for the response. I tired sending command line arguments when I added a file to the playlist, and it didn't work. Is it possible to send command line arguments to VLC while it's running?

I want the program to function in both 32 and 64 bit environments. Is there a Regsvr64.exe?
