The VideoLAN Forums

Hi!

I would like to receive a streamed video into an LabVIEW application using VLC. I have tried to implement it using the ActiveX, but I have not succeeded. I'm not an expert regarding adding ActiveX into LabVIEW so basically I must say that it is my main problem... I have succeeded using the ActiveX controller for Windows Media player, but not with VLC.

I would really appreciate if someone please could assist me. Perhaps someone has an example?

Best regards,
Mattias

I'm a bit confused here by you statements and it has been years since I've used LABView at least 3 may be 5 machines ago.

1. VLC's ActiveX can not be used with WMP. If for some reason you think this is happening you need to test it. There is a test.html in the ActiveX folder that comes in any of the archives (7z or zip). It is not included with the installed version.

2. Please refresh my memory as to the LabView application and your intended usage.
