Does anyone know what the updated cmdline is for vlc 1.1.3 as the above don't seem to work. I think the -V is obsolete?

Surely someone must know the answer to this?

I am using VLC installed as a service, which works fine, however upon a reboot the service appears to die or fail to start. I am assuming this is due to the service not having the correct dependancies setup on other services. Does any know which services vlc depends on so I can set this up manually ...

Hi, I agree the docs aren't great, but I have had what you are trying to do working using the following code. var options = new Array(":aspect-ratio=4:3", "--rtsp-tcp", ":no-video-title-show"); try { var id = vlc.playlist.add("rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:554/mpeg4/media...

thanks for the reply, but why udp from vlc to server cause cause a delay through an open firewall/network rather than on a local subnet?

yes I also experienced this behaviour. R U creating the <embed> tag manually in the page? Have you tried using the VLCObject library from http://www.revolunet.com/labo/code/VLCobject As this has some clean up code which seems to destory the player better than just loading another page. I am just swi...

I am using VLC to access an RTSP stream over the network. When I connect from a client via a firewall that has all ports open from client -> server I experience a startup delay of 12 sec. If I try the same from a client on the same subnet then the delay is only 1sec. Monitoring the firewall I can se...

yes you can give an http link. the second param is just a name, can be whatever you like.

If you are unsure if the http link works in vlc. use the main vlc player application and select file open network stream and enter the http link here.

I have tried the activex in VS2005 from C# in a forms app. after adding a reference to the activeX under the COM tab and adding the control to the form from the toolbox, I used the following code to test the video and the logo methods. int id = axVLCPlugin21.playlist.add("rtsp://172.16.100.181:...

I found this in the bug tracker, which is really disappointing. Patch welcome. We have currently no maintainer for the ActiveX control. I now wish the ActiveX/plugin had not been available as now I have selected it for my project only to find that there is little chance of the bugs being fixed. I di...

As an update although I have this working in firefox, as soon as a video stream is played the click functionality stops working.

I had a bit of trouble with the code sample in one of the above posts. what worked for IE and firefox for me. <!--[if IE]> <object id='vlc' classid='clsid:9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921' codebase="http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/latest/win32/axvlc.cab" width="500&...

And it turns out that the solution was far more simple than I imagined, use the style attribute of the vlc object. Did you actually get this to work once the video had started. I have found that if the video has started although the player resizes the video is still the same size and is stuck in th...

I'd like to see this fixed ASAP too, is there anyway of getting this bugs priority bumped up?

I did not copy exactly (with typos) I have now changed to function OnVlcClick() { alert("click event"); } var vlc = document.getElementById('vlc'); vlc.onclick = OnVlcClick; This is run in the boby onload method, with the vlc object declared as <object id='vlc' classid='clsid:9BE31822-FDAD...

I think you need to add this parameter vlc://quit to the end of the vlc command line when installing to stop the extra process running.i.e. vlc -I ntservice --ntservice-install --ntservice-name="Musicbox" --ntservice-options="--no-qt-privacy-ask --no-qt-error-dialogs --loop D:\musicbo...

The code I have is var vlc = document.getElementById('vlc'); vlc.onclick = function() { alert("here"); }; The alert is displayed in firefox, using the plugin, but not in InternetExplorer using the activeX control. Visual studio warns that the event attribute is not support on the object ta...

Can you give an example of doing this in FF, as I could not get this to work using the z-Index.

Can someone please tell me how to do this in IE as I have tried this code and it does not work?

thanks

I understand that I can't do anything to work around this. This is a real pain as I wanted to provide html controls overlaid on the video control. Is there a way to fix it in the VLC code with z-index in the (directdraw/show?) code?

Did anyone find a way of getting this to work in FF and IE? code sample please.

I finally found that the 9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921 clsid works to show the current api for the activex. I did reinstall with 1.1.3 so I don't know if I had a local issue.

ok thanks for the code for multiple browsers, which version of the api do you use with this in IE?

if its the new version can you show me how you access it?

C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC>vlc.exe -I ntservice --ntservice-install --ntservice-name=VLC-Service --ntservice-extraintf=http --ntservice-options="--no-qt-privacy-ask --no-qt-error-dialogs" --sub-filter "logo{file=ff-logo-small.png,transparency=128}" vlc://quit the file is in th...

I have tried to do streaming using VLC as a windows service with the logo filter without success. I have tried with the --sub-filter and without. Can someone confirm if this is possible with a streaming service and how to do it. I assume only local files work and not file urls.
