The VideoLAN Forums

I have seen the following undocumented properties in the activex plugin:

• vlc.AutoLoop => Works
• vlc.AutoPlay => Doesn't work
• vlc.BaseURL => Works
• vlc.StartTime => Doesn't work (Has the same problem as the attribute 'src')
• vlc.MRL => Doesn't work
• vlc.Visible => Doesn't work
• vlc.Volume => Works
• vlc.BackColor => Doesn't work (Has the same problem as the attribute 'bgcolor')
• vlc.Toolbar => Works
• vlc.FullscreenEnabled => Works

They are undocumented and only available in the ActiveX plugin. For all of these properties already exists an attribute, see https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation ... l_elements

Are these properties still needed? Or are these deprecated and/or fragments of the old activex plugin v1?


I also have seen two undocumented attributes in the ActiveX plugin:

• extentwidth
• extentheight

For what purpose they are designed?

No ideas?

I think they are only from activex v1. But you can add them to v2, if it makes sense.

I think so, too.
But currently they are available on activex v2, too.

I don't know if it makes sense. But if, then in the correct sub objects

And make the same as NPAPI.

NPAPI doesn't have these properties at this time.

Here is a suggestion what could happen with the old properties:

• vlc.AutoLoop => Remove, add the replacement vlc.playlist.mode ("default", "loop", "repeat")
• vlc.AutoPlay => Remove without replacement
• vlc.BaseURL => No clue if this must be changeable
• vlc.StartTime => Remove, use vlc.playlist.add() with options argument instead
• vlc.MRL => Remove without replacement
• vlc.Visible => Remove without replacement
• vlc.Volume => Remove, use vlc.audio.volume instead
• vlc.BackColor => Move to a sub object or rename it?
• vlc.Toolbar => Move to a sub object or rename it?
• vlc.FullscreenEnabled => Move to a sub object or rename it?

Dunno, tbh.

It seems that these attributes are not needed, the width and height attributes should be the same.
But I may be wrong.

It seems that these properties are needed for Visual Studio (For example Visual Basic). This would explain why these properties are only available in ActiveX

Ah, possible
Ever tried a VB sample with our ActiveX code?

Yes, today I have tried to add the ActiveX plugin to a VB project, and it works. (tested with latest nightly)

Can you share a default VB project?

Can you share a default VB project?

Do you mean a completely empty project, in which only the VLC plugin has been added?
Yes, tomorrow I could create this.
Where I should upload this?

In the git?

Ok.
In which subdirectory?

share/? next to the HTML ?

Ok.
I have sent it to the mailing list.
