Wanting to use the ActiveX control (in Matlab, though irrelevant). I did a full reinstall of VLC, just to be safe. (Platform is Windows 7 64 bit.) But the controls are not appearing normally in any list, with the ProgIDs and Descriptions set to strings of question marks.
I can see that the registry contains the following entries:
- {9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921} ?????????.2 ?????????????????? v2 Yes Enabled No VLC Web Plugin VideoLAN VLC media player (Activex Plugin) 2.0.2 Apartment C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\axvlc.dll 8/15/2012 3:59:58 AM
{E23FE9C6-778E-49D4-B537-38FCDE4887D8} ?????????.1 ?????????????????? v1 Yes Enabled No VLC Web Plugin VideoLAN VLC media player (Activex Plugin) 2.0.2 Apartment C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\axvlc.dll 8/15/2012 3:59:58 AM
Any guesses what went wrong with the ActiveX installation? Is there a different way to install them?
