The .NET wrapper library contains two samples for V1.0.0 of VLC. The samples are very good as they illustrate just the basic steps to put a simple player together - suprisingly little application code required !. To get the samples to run I had to set the project's output directory to the location o...

After upgrading to the latest version 1.0.1 of VLC I thought the pc-reboot was gone, however it seems to have moved to where the video reaches the end of playback; if you close fairly quickly its ok but if you leave it there and touch nothing it reboots after maybe 5 seconds. However, since the .NET...

@Thannoy : The sleep() call is a good thing to check - will try it tonight. However the PC is several years old and has been very reliable; it gets used for a lot of video work (as well as the occasional game) without a hint of trouble, and VLC player itself has always behaved faultlessly, so I'm re...

Have you set the --plugin-path correctly? Nope, wasn't aware I needed to for the ActiveX control. Now tried it on my machine at work (Vista :( ) and the ActiveX control fails to open anything at all. I've tried adding the following to strings as the thire parameter to the playlist.add() method :- @...

Thanks, you confirmed I've got the right string - and direction of slash chars is important :oops: But, its left a different problem. It now adds the MP4 to the playlist but still refuses to play it, despite being perfectly playable in the VLC application. So I've tried another file, this time an MP...

Thanks Thannoy, Is it possible you could post exactly what I need to pass to the 'Add' function so as to load file "C:\Delme4.mp4" ? In the example I posted you can see I tried a load of different ways and none worked, including several versions of one of them described in the wiki ("...

I initially looked at the library but have not got it to run yet - it expects to find functions in the DLL that aren't there. OK, some kind of VLC version - thought I had a pretty recent version, obviously not, sure I can sort it. There are two ActiveX controls. The first one looks a bit awkward but...

I know there is a .NET wrapper for LibVlc, but it is overkill for me as I want to open file, play file, maybe set position and really thats about it. As VLC seems to use some libraries also used by Ffmpeg, I'm hoping to incorporate into an app a facility to preview an video file via a VLC control pr...

Hi, Hope this is the right section. I'm trying to find out how to use the ActiveX control for VLC but can not find any documentation or examples on how to open a file and play it. I've added it to both C# forms and MFC dialogs but thats about it, a black panel on a window. E.g. c# :- private void Fo...
