Hi all
I have an issue with vlc 1.05 Goldeneye and activex

With VLC we can load a DVB-T like

dvb-t://frequency=191625000, :dvb-bandwidth=7 and a free to air tv network working ok

I want to be able to choose the program id within that frequency. Yes we have multicasting on same frequencies.

So a sister station would look like this

dvb-t://frequency=191625000, :dvb-bandwidth=7 :program=1074 for "Go Channel" Melbourne Australia

or

dvb-t://frequency=191625000, :dvb-bandwidth=7 :program=1073 for Channel 9 Melbourne Australia

or dvb-t://frequency=191625000, :dvb-bandwidth=7 :program=1072 for Channel 9 HD Melbourne Australia

It works quite well in VLC Windows GUI

How do I invoke it in Delphi

I did try the following code

VLCPlugin1.addTarget('dvb-t://frequency=191625000, dvb-bandwidth=7, program=1074, dst=display, sout=#duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ps,dst=display}}', null, VLCPlayListInsert, 0);

No luck with getting the Go Channel. Only Channel 9.

I suspect the sid parameter may be missing or my statement program=1074 is incorrect.

The activeX does not appear to be very documented or I am looking in the wrong places.

Is the activex ever getting an update so we can record to hard disk. This would be so cool.
So many developers would use this tool if it did that.

This is the only thing stopping me completing this project.


Kind Regards to all

If you can open logger interface with ActiveX, it should show what parameter is causing issues.

Thanks for the advice. Please forgive me. Ho wdoes one enable the iogging?
another parameter like :enablelog+c:\vlc.log or something else?
Kind Regards

That at least should work. file-logging seems to be broken on Windows.
