The VideoLAN Forums

I have successfully compiled VLC and modified couple of stuffs and it works really great. I am able to include the activex control into a VB form and it works. My question is when I include the same control in Visual C++ or in BorlandC it just doesn't work. Is anybody know why this happen ? Is there anything I am supposed to change, so that it will be work properly in those environments ?

Any help is really appreciated.

Thanx

VLC library does not work under debug for C/C++, which is related to the way VLC uses threads under WIN32. However, there is a mechanism to tell VLC to use a different thread strategy which makes is less compatible with POSIX but make it work under debug

locate the #define ACTIVEX_DEBUG in plugin.cpp, and make sure that init arguments that are controlled by this #define are used.

I could locate the ACTIVEX_DEBUG in plugin.cpp. But i tried to define it in the cpp itself. But still it doesn't work. Where exactly I am supposed to define this. Could you kindly let me know.

Thanx

I´m really interested in this question.

I would like to use VLC ActiveX in Borland C++ Builder. Is it working anywhere?

Regards

first, are you using the latest svn version ?
second, can you describe the problem in more details, what do you or don't see/expect, etc...

I´m going to test it with the new 0.8.4 test1 version. I will report my results with C++ Builder 5.0

Regards

I tried with Visual C++. The Activex control works in release environment not in Debug mode. Also i am finding difficulty in adding a target file using
addtarget function ? Has anybody tried this ? If it is working kindly let me know how to do this.

thanking you in advance.

kala

do you have any developement on the activex in c++ ???

Hi all,

In BCB 5.0 Build 12.34 Update Pack 1 the VLC ActiveX can be installed without problems but when i try to put the VLC component (Borland VLC ActiveX wrapper) it gives me this message:

Access violation at address 400D4798 in module 'Vcl50.bpl'. Read of address 0000000

Windows version : Win2K pro Build 2195 SP4

Have anyone tested this ActiveX in a Borland environment without errors?

Regards

it can be work in debug and release mode

i used vlc0.8.4-test1 ,VC++6.0, win2k



........

struct tagVARIANT options;

//options.pbVal = NULL;
memset(&options,0,sizeof(options));

CString strFile = "D:\\mpeg4.mpg";
m_vlcplugin.addTarget(strFile, options, 12, -666);
..........

same problem with builder 6 or delphi 7

Did any one get the Active X control working in Borland Builder 5.0?

Cheers

hi, could any one tell me how to build VLC in vc7?

thanks

Hi,
I downloaded the open source code from videolan website. I am trying to compile it using vc++6.0. But not able to compile it . Can any one guide me through. Can anyone tell me where i am going wrong.Should i have to use only cygwin for this.

If you want to compile whole VLC (and create Libvlc and ActiveX component) then yes you have to use Cygwin.
http://wiki.videolan.org/Cygwin

if you just want to use ActiveX part in your code, then no need for Cygwin.
