Accessing debug-output when using ActiveX control

[bob303]

Hello ppl,

Is there any way to get a hold of the debug output of a VLC ActiveX instance?
Could the output be written to a file? Is there a switch I can trigger using GetVariable/SetVariable to achive this?

Thx!

two ways:
* launch internet explorer through a cygwin shell, if you have it installed, debug will show on the shell window
* enable and configure logger interface through player preferences window, don't forget to save them as the activex control will re-used any saved preferences

Thanks for your answer Quovodis!

Im not using the ActiveX within IE. But this option sounds rather interesting!

The other option involves enabling the logger interface which will aways open a dos-console, even if the VLC ActiveX is set to visible = false. I just need a way to always parse the debug output during playback without the user noticing anything.


How can the ActiveX control's parent form catch the debug output returned by the ActiveX as IE does?
