Hello,

In the Version 2.0.6 of the ActiveX-Plugin is apparently a Bug. The Object vlc.playlist.items is null. So I can't clear the Playlist. This Problem is only in ActiveX, it works fine in the Mozilla-Plugin.

I have Win7 x64.

Is this bug already known and will be fixed?

No, it is not known.

Can you fix the Bug, or need you more Infos to locate the cause?

Create a bugreport.

I have had the same issue when trying to use VLC.playlist.items.count and have recieved an exception

I have created a bugreport some days ago. (#8454)
How long does it take on average until a ticket is processed?

Depends From hours to years...

I have tried now the deprecated function "vlc.playlist.clear()" to clear the playlist. This function does not work.
The Bug occurs in exact the same versions as the other bug.

Should I create a additional bugreport?

i just saw your message and i have the same problem exactly as yours, i need to work with it but i can't because of this playlist.clear() issue

The ticket has now created 3 weeks ago.
Unfortunately, the ticket has not been processed.

Has anyone looked into the source code, what it could be?

PS: I have added the other bug in the ticket.

I now wanted to go the detour via vlc.playlist.removeItem() to clear the playlist.
Unfortunately, this function does not work anymore, too.

Tthis problem appears in the same versions as the other bugs, too.

Apparently does nothing work, which is somehow related to the object vlc.playlist.items.
Only vlc.playlist.itemCount works correct.

I'm sorry that I must report errors again, but many more functions in the playlist-object does not work:

vlc.playlist.pause() -> an error occurs (does not work in older activex versions, too)
vlc.playlist.togglePause() -> stops the playback only
vlc.playlist.next() -> does not work and stops the playback
vlc.playlist.prev() -> does not work and stops the playback
vlc.playlist.clear() -> does not work
vlc.playlist.removeItem() -> an error occurs

vlc.playlist.items -> not available (object is null)
vlc.playlist.items.count -> not available
vlc.playlist.items.clear() -> not available
vlc.playlist.items.remove() -> not available

All this occurs the first time in this build: http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win ... 0107-0204/
The mozilla-plugin works fine in all versions.

Do you think this issue will be resolved in 2.1.0?

2.0.6 fixed a couple of issues with the activex plug in that would benefit me but the issues outlined in this thread previously have prevented me from upgrading.

We hope to fix in 2.0.7.
