The VideoLAN Forums

Thanks for the info. I had also compiled a document based on the object library about events, methods and properties on VLC. One question I had about working with the ActiveX component is the "Play" event. I see it as an available event, along with "Pause" and "Play", b...

I use Visual Studio.NET 2003 (VB), and this is what I use to play a local file:
Null didn't work for me, I had to use the keyword Nothing... I don't know if this helps in your situation or not.

I noticed the same thing - I can get 2 controls running from one app, but any more and the program flakes out.

I know VLC doesn't suport Indeo because it's proprietary. I'm working with the ActiveX component - I have a move made with that Codec. I get Audio, but no Video. I have just bought the Indeo codex for $14.95, but still don't get video in the movie. I don't really understand how codec works with VLC ...

movMain.addTarget(targetPath, Nothing, AXVLC.VLCPlaylistMode.VLCPlayListReplaceAndGo, -666)

I'm using 0.8.5 Beta so I think the syntax is a bit different - I don't recall ReplaceAndGo as an option in 0.8.2. You'd probably have to say:

movMain.Play()

...afterwards

In the Windows App VLC, when a movie is loaded, the window automatically resizes to meet the default size of the movie that is playing. When I load a movie into the ActiveX component, however, the movie is resized to fit the boudaries of the control. How can I force my control to mimic the actions s...

I've got VLC ActiveX up and running as a component and am now looking into implementing it. Very exciting for me :) I can't find much documentation on the site or the forum beyond files relating to the HTML implementation of the component. Most of the keywords line up fairly well, but I was hoping f...

AS FRICKIN' IF!!

That's all it was. I've never seen that reaction before, but I've never claimed to be brilliant

Thanks everyone.

I don't get it. :( I downloaded 0.8.5 beta and get the same results. I have tested this on two separate machines - at work and at home and get the same results. I'm using Visual Basic .NET 2003. Running Windows XP. Working in a Windows Application. Not an ASP.NET app or anything. I right-click in th...

I have already done these things - the registry entry is already there. I prepared a folderstructure similar to what you gave as an example and specifically registered the component in that location - but when I try to add it to VB.NET I get that error: File 'C:\program files\video lan\vlc\activex\a...

Thanks for the quick response. I'm afraid a great deal of this stuff is totally foreign to me. I'm assuming the Nightly Build is the source code? I have downloaded vlc 0.8.2 tar - 54MB archive of source code. I see a folder for activex with a lot of C++ source code, but no project. There is a file, ...

I've searched the forum and see some posts about using VLC as a component in VB6, and nobody seemed to indicate that accessing the component was an issue. I installed VLC 0.8.2 with the ActiveX, but when I try to add "axvlc.dll" to my Toolbox (in vb.net), I get the following error: File &q...
