The VideoLAN Forums

I have tried to make a webpage for the MCE and used the vlc activex com., and i came across a little problem.
It seems like i am getting a picture and sound from the activex com.
So thats great, but it wont display the picture when the MCE is on focus (in full screen).

I am using the vlc 0.8.5

Any body got an idea how to fix it? Or what is causing it ...

I fixed it... now i just need the activex com. to goto fullscreen while
mce is in fullscreen

I got it
to get the activex com to play in fullscreen

set the window.external.MediaCenter.DirectXExclusive to false

and not sure about this is need but perhaps you also need the video-on-top parameter to be set to true


and then it should work
hope that it help if anybody was looking for it

Too late reading this topic it cost me two hours before i got that figured out btw video ontop is not needed. just turn of the directx exclusive mode is enough.

hey tell me if you are planning on working with mce remote control
and vlc hotkeys i am working on some solutions there too.
Dont wont to wait for the next patch

for me it was easy to set up the hotkeys from vlc because i am using a marmitek remote which is configured with the mce keyboard shortcuts
to adjust it to the original mce remote is much more difficult because most keys on the ab don't send keystrokes look here http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/defau ... ontrol.asp
If you didn't already seen it.

I just finished my little html plugin so i can use my old digicam (connected with firewire) as a survaillance cam and watch it in MCE with recording and snapshot function. The recording can playback in MCE itself so with wmp.

Nice and thanks for the link that was helpfull

I have manage to bind the MCE Enter key to the VLC fullscreen key

and now i am working on getting the MCE channel up and down to work
with the VLC but its not going too well for the moment.

The channel up/down on the remote is not going to work because they send an appcommand use the arrowkeys instead.

Be carefull not to use a hotkey twice in VLC
