I am using the 0.8.4a version of the ActiveX control Windows and I am trying to display content from a video server. As a base line I have placed some content into either Program stream or Transport Stream MPEG-2 files. I have tried the position, position-offset in the VOptions and setVariable posit...

use the methods supplied with the activeX control to manipulate the playback.
just include the control in the project (components).
Then draw the control. This can be done either at design time or runtime.
Use the methods associated with the control
Hope this helps a little

Sorry for the confusion. I tried both. The message trace on original is from the VLC application.
To additional info. If I start a multicast of the movie on the VOD server, I can using the VLC application and ActiveX control, view the movie. So connectivity is not the issue.
THANX in advance

I am using the current version of VLC/ActiveX. I use VB 6.0 as the development platform. I create the ALC controls at runtime(eliminates studio issues). I am able to view multicast streams (udp://@224.1.1.1:8501 - where 8501 is the port) . When I try to start a video using: rtsp://192.168.2.50:554/r...

I had the similare problem. I think it has to do with the video drivers on the laptops. ( I had two laptops and both had the same issue). Once I moved to a desk top the CPU usage went away. So by elimination, it was the video.
Sorry for no good news, but at least you know.
THANX

Chris, When I check on the multicast server, it knows how far it is into each video.I would assume that this information could be gathered up by the client as well. I do have some experience in C++. If your question is how to make the array: string[] MyArray= {"String1", "String2"...

THANX for the information. So as I understand there are two separate issues.
First the compiler (Visual Studio) shows instability, won't save, compile without faulting
and
the final application will also show a similar instability.

I am using .8.4 version of the VLC activeX component in a Visual Basic 6.0 application. I have noticed that if I add multiple VLC controls to a window, the VB application (Microsoft's exe has real problems). It won't compile faults with memory access error, or write source to disk(same illness) or e...
