The VideoLAN Forums

Hi,

I develop an application with ActiveX of VLC. When I started, I have got VLC 0.9.2 on your site. This archive does 15Mo. And now, when I get the same version, the archive does 14 Mo. With the first version, I have no problem, but with the second I have an error message.

No suitable decoder module for fourcc `XVID'

have you an idea.

Best Regards
Vincent

You have pluginpath set in registry?

Can you give me pluginpath registry?

HKLM\SOFTWARE...

Thanks

something like that.

InstallDir is correct in my registry.

libvlccore.dll does 824Kb on the bad version and 1954Kb on the good version.
Why this difference?

And you have avcodec-51.dll in that VLCs directory?

Yes.

The Good version

The same version, a lot of different files.

And the plugin path points to where avcodec-51.dll is?

avcodec-51.dll is only present on bad version of VLC.

So you use the good version, you have plugin path set correctly (to good folder) and you still get that error?

Ok, I'm finding the solution.

I have copied this files in C:\Windows\System32

* avcodec-51.dll
* libfontconfig-1.dll
* libfreetype-6.dll
* libgcrypt.dll
* libgpg-error-0.dll
* libiconv-2.dll
* libxml2-2.dll
* libz-1-2.dll

All is OK. ActiveX don't find this files in InstallDir.

This problem involved this error to VLC 0.9.2 and the following error message to VLC 0.9.4

option http-proxy does not exist
invalid chunk FATAL (0x4523)
header size == 0
