VB6 and VLC

[RSATom]

I'm afraid "description" now available only for Mozilla plugin.

[chris2000]

the only way to found is to use a other utility (DVBGuide.exe). And take the EPG one time at week and put into a BASE.

Hi!

I tried to use your DLL but i can't register it with regsvr32.exe

The error message says (german):

LoadLibrary("axvlc.dll") fehlgeschlagen - Die angegebene Prozedur wurde nicht gefunden.

This message means in english: LoadLibrary("axvlc.dll") failed - The given procedure was not found.


I installed VC2008 redist package from microsoft homepage

Do I need any additional components?

Thank you!

[RSATom]

you need libvlc.dll in you %PATH%

[6i6i]

I added it to %PATH% but it gives me the same error message:

[6i6i]

I think it has something todo with an wrong version ov libvlc.


But I installed now the latest: vlc-2.1.0-git-20120329-0006-win32.exe

[RSATom]

[RSATom]

Sorry, my fault. Try this: http://code.google.com/p/vc-axnp-vlc/do ... c2008e.zip

[6i6i]

No problem .

No regsvr32 works. And I can also add the VLCPlugin21 component into my form in VB6 IDE.

However if I try to compile or start the project following error comes up and the IDE crashes:


I event tried with a new empty Project added only the VLCPlugin21 component into the form and compiled. -> Same error.

[RSATom]

very bad... Is it works in Internet Explorer?

and try please with 2.0.1.

[naamah75]

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.

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.

Thanks RSATom for your time.

I'm trying to use the marquee in VB.NET but the marquee aren't showed... you can help-me? you can post the code for the marquee? what version on AxVLCplugin use? framework number?

Thanks!

[chris2000]

with that code (vb6) can play the channel 1 form frequency 654Mhz
VLC2.playlist.Add "dvb-t://frequency="654000000", ":audio-track=1", "program=1"
VLC2.playlist.Next

For EPG i use the "DVBGuide.exe" (external utility) and take the EPG and put in a base.

i use vlc 2.0.1 with that http://vc-axnp-vlc.googlecode.com/files ... c2008e.zip "axvlc.dll" from RSATom.

[6i6i]

Hi!

Could you describe how you do this with DVBGuide.exe in VB6?

BR

[chris2000]

Can you use run with a bat file that:
DVBGuide.exe -b8 -c226500 -o chan.xml

And take at chan.xml the epg from that freq. Next read the xml and put at data base.

[6i6i]

Thank you for you quick reply, but I am searching for a solution without dvbguide.exe

Today I installed vlc-2.1.0-git-20120611-0004-win32.exe and saw, that there is a new version of axvlc.dll (2.0.2.0). Can someone explain the changes?
I searched in trac but couldn't find any information what was really changed there. What i saw, was a patch provided by RSATom, where the mediaDescription Interface was added. I tried the new version with my visual basic project, but could only get the vlc.mediaDescription.title displayed. I need the vlc.mediaDescription.nowPlaying string in my project. Are there any plans to provide this informations?

BR

@RSATom: Thank you very much for you ActiveX, now I can try to use VLC on device (PanelPC) with WindowsXP Embedded and VB6.

Why the VB6 compatibility was broken starting from version 1.0.6???
(Sorry for bad English)

Bye!

@RSATom: Thank you very much for you ActiveX, now I can try to use VLC on device (PanelPC) with WindowsXP Embedded and VB6.

You are welcome!

Why the VB6 compatibility was broken starting from version 1.0.6???

I am not sure, but problem can be with toolchain used in official builds (My version builded by Visual Studio). Or maybe some files just was outdated (for example those which generate from .idl file).

[hypnodude]

Hi,

I have the same problems with the current build (2.0.5) as well as the nightly builds (2.0.6 and 2.1.0 from 2012/12/27) - ActiveX cannot be added to the VB6 toolkit to add to a form.
I can add a reference to the DLL, but then I cannot add it to the form.
The DLL is registered correctly.
I tried with the VB6VLCTest.zip you uploaded previously - it reports "Line 17: Class AXVLCCtl.VLCPlugin2 of control VLCPlugin2 was not a loaded control class."
The error message is "Name conflicts with existing module, project, or object library".

Is this going to be an issue with all future releases of VLC and the ActiveX?

Thanx,
Alon

Hi
I have been following this series of posts for a bit. I have exactly the same problem as "hypnodude"... Using 2.04, 2.05 I cannot add the activex dll as a component to any vb6 project (reference can be added but that is not useful to me). Am I correct in seeing that there has been a recent build that included an axvlc.dll that did work?

Cheers
David

I also have this problem (cannot add a VLC control to VB6 project) when I upgraded VLC from 1.0.3 to 2.0.5. I tried the overnight version "vlc-2.1.0-git-20130116-0004-win32.exe" with the same results. Rolling back to version 1.0.3 returned everything back to the way it was.

I also tried the following with no positive results:
Re-registered axvlc.dll
Opened a new VB6 project (Standard) and tried loading VLC
Went to a PC that NEVER had VB6:
...upgraded VLC to the 'overnight' build (2.1.0, see above)
...installed Visual Studio VB6 with SP2
...Opened a new, Standard, project
...Tried, and failed, to add VLC as a component!
Tried, in desperation, renaming project to ZLPH and standard form to ZZXYZX -- this didn't help either

The PC's involved are older CPU's (Intel x86 Family Model 4 and 6, 3GHz) with 2GB ran, running XP/Pro SP3.

The error message "Name conflicts with existing module, project or, object library" suggest the problem might be something in the DLL has the same name as a standard VB6 library part; but, I have no way of proving or disproving this.

Does anyone know of a work-around to this?
