The VideoLAN Forums

I am trying to use Marx's brilliant c# wrapper in a project and I need to change the media playing in the vlc instance.

If i try to reassign the media it works if i re-create the libvlc_media object and pass it to the player object again. As long as the player hasn't had video_set_parent called.

Does anyone know the process i need to go by to tie VLC to a panel for video output. Play some media. Then change the media to a different file going to that same panel?

I have been receiving exceptions about libvlc_core handles getting closed when i try to reassign the video parent. But at no point had i closed the handle.

Thanks guys.

After some more debugging. It appears the video_set_parent call is voiding the libvlc_core object because it throws a (Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.) exception.

Someone else has had a similar problem in the Marx wrapper thread but didnt find a solution a while back. Has anyone seen anything on it since?
