VB6 and VLC

[chris2000]

Hi,
I want to view DVB-T with VLC

i try to use VLC 1.0.6 and newer with VB and when i go to select componets vlc i take that error "Name conflicts with existing module, project, or object library".
That mean i cant user VLC 1.0.6 and newer with componets? With 1.0.5 and lower work the activex.

With that code i can view a channel
VLC2.playlist.Add "dvb-t://frequency=674000000", Null, "program=1"
VLC2.playlist.play

I try to use VLC 1.0.6. and newer as References.
and with code i can see
Dim VLC2 As New AXVLC.VLCPlugin2
VLC2.playlist.Add "dvb-t://frequency=674000000", "", "program=1"
VLC2.playlist.play

BUT i see to a new window not inside to from. How can move that window inside to a picturebox?
(i try SetParent, MoveWindow but when select a new channel make a new window)

There are code how to take the "Program Now, Next" or EPG with componets or References?

When did "Name conflicts with existing module, project, or object library" error occur? when you try put VLC ActiveX on form?

[chris2000]

yes when i try to put VLC ActiveX on form i take that message.
with vlc 1.0.5 and older work OK but with newer version i take that message.

[RSATom]

I think you need somehow remove references to old version of VLC ActiveX from your project, and readd new version.

btw, you can try this:

with References work with all version but when i play a file or DVB open a new window and not inside to my form or picturebox.

[RSATom]

try uninstall your current VLC version, and install latest nightly build from http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win32/?C=M;O=D (I have some doubts that my version is compatable with something other).

[chris2000]

unistall everything and i try that
http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win ... -win32.exe

same
(i can checked with References but i cant checked with componets)

[chris2000]

try download VB6 portable from here
http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fi ... 05&gk=hyip
to check it if you can

[RSATom]

what about VB 2008 or 2010 Express? did you try it?

[chris2000]

I dont know very well vb2008 or vb2010
i know good vb6.

[RSATom]

I tried it with vb6 (full, not portable) - it works. try create new empty project and add control to it, and write here if it success or not.

[chris2000]

i unistall VLC
install the last from here http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win ... -win32.exe
make a empty VB project.
try to put componets VLC with not success.
try to put References and work.

Can you send me a test project with componets VLC to see?

[RSATom]

I've found some problems with yesterday's version. Try new one:
http://code.google.com/p/vc-axnp-vlc/do ... .02.16.zip

Simplest VB6 project:
http://disk.tom.ru/h4nh16r/1/9b937/VB6VLCTest.zip

And one more, my axvlc.dll needs VC 2008 Redistributable:
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/de ... LSUS007998

[chris2000]

with the last axvlc.dll work the componets.

VLCPlugin21.VersionInfo = 2.1.0-git-20120216-0009 Rincewind

I try later my code to check it.

what is diferent at VLCPlugin, VLCPlugin2?

How i can take from DVB-T what play now and Next (Epg)?

[chris2000]

For DVB-T

VLC2.playlist.Add "dvb-t://frequency=654000000:bandwidth=8", "TV", "program=1"
VLC2.playlist.play

when try to play next Program (2) play again the 1.

VLC2.playlist.stop
VLC2.playlist.items.Clear
VLC2.playlist.Add "dvb-t://frequency=654000000:bandwidth=8", "TV", "program=2"
VLC2.playlist.play


I use that code to work
VLC2.playlist.Add "dvb-t://frequency=654000000:bandwidth=8", "TV", "program=1"
VLC2.playlist.Next
and for next channel
VLC2.playlist.Add "dvb-t://frequency=654000000:bandwidth=8", "TV", "program=2"
VLC2.playlist.Next
and work OK.

[chris2000]

I try to play video file with that Code

VLC.addTarget sFile, Null, VLCPlayListAppendAndGo, 0
VLC.play

or

VLC2.playlist.Add sFile
VLC2.playlist.play

But i cant play. With older version the video work OK.

[RSATom]

what is diferent at VLCPlugin, VLCPlugin2?

http://wiki.videolan.org/ActiveX
http://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:WebPlugin

How i can take from DVB-T what play now and Next (Epg)?

I think Epg not supported by ActuveX (it have no corresponding functions), but I am don't sure.

[RSATom]

I try to play video file with that Code

VLC.addTarget sFile, Null, VLCPlayListAppendAndGo, 0
VLC.play

or

VLC2.playlist.Add sFile
VLC2.playlist.play

But i cant play. With older version the video work OK.

newer versions of VLC needs "file:///" in beginning

[jesicawolen]

New active X control provide better functionality.

[chris2000]

1. yes with "file:///" play Files (thanks)
2. EPG. If i cant take the EPG there are a option to take what play Now, Next? or export the EPG to xml file and read later from that?
I bilieve when play DVB-T the VLC2.input.Position, VLC2.input.Length is from EPG (what play Now).
3. I try to put Logo and work. But how i can resize the picture? i dont now how work vlc2.video.logo.Position at VB6.
Only PNG files can see? Can i put more that one bitmap on video?
4. Try and the Overlay Text and work. But when i try to maker faster Refresh (VLC2.video.marquee.Refresh < 300) lose fps from Video.
Can i put more that one Text on video?

Thanks RSATom for your time.

[RSATom]

sorry, I don't know answers for that questions...

Hi!

Iam having the same problem as you descriped.
I want to show in my VB6 Project, where i integrated VLC nightly trough activex, what is actually be played on my DVB-T stream.

Do you made any progress on this?

Thanks

[RSATom]

what exactly problem do you have?

[6i6i]

Thanky you for your reply.

I would like to display what is actually played (title Information) in my own Visual Basic 6 Application, where i integrated VLC with the ActiveX 2 Component.

I tought I can get it through the Media Description Object descriped here: http://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation: ... ion_Object, but this is not possible in active x.
I also don't know if I can get exactly what i want through this media description object or if it is only for getting information from normal audio and video tracks and not for dvbt streams.

I made a screenshot and marked the information that is displayed if I open VLC the normal way.:



Thanks
