Thanks, it worked. I ended up creating a minimal VLC compile using only the features I need as I encountered some other compile issues. Compiling VLC on Gentoo isn't for the faint of heart.

Using ffmpeg trunk from today I get the following errors on Gentoo Linux x86 (compiled for i686 architecture): ./modules/codec/ffmpeg/libffmpeg.a(libffmpeg_a-video.o): In function `DecodeVideo__ffmpeg': /home/bjorn/src/vlc-0.8.6/modules/codec/ffmpeg/video.c:834: undefined reference to `img_convert' ...

Changing position after VLC has been started isn't a big issue for me. The --skins2-config option sounds like exactly what I'm looking for, I'll test the nightly build. Thanks for the info!

The skin has been created so that it is resizable, and the launching application sometimes needs to change the position and size. The thing is, using --width and --heigh...

I recently made an Xvid ASP encode with mencoder which causes "stuttering" in VLC. Mencoder tested was CVS20050928 and CVS20051102. I have tested the clip on 0.8.4 for Windows and OSX, as well as 0.8.5-svn-20051217. The clip plays flawlessly with Media Player Classic 6.4.8.6 using ffdshow ...

You didn't specify where you found the methods, but to be precise the list can be found in vlccontrol.h: // IVLCControl methods STDMETHODIMP play(void); STDMETHODIMP get_Visible(VARIANT_BOOL *visible); STDMETHODIMP put_Visible(VARIANT_BOOL visible); STDMETHODIMP pause(void); STDMETHODIMP stop(void);...
