Hi,

I'm currently trying to put VLC ActiveX in my ATL/C++ project, and I have problems reading a file.

I managed to declare and use the ActiveX (I have the logo of VLC filling the ActiveX space) but when I try to actually read a file and call the AddTarget method, it crashes.

I do:

m_VLC->addTarget("c:\\Loading.avi",NULL,VLC::VLCPlayListInsert,0);

but in AddTarget code, the raw_addTarget methods returns E_INVALIDARG.
I think it may come from my NULL options but I thought that putting NULL would avoid having problems...

I'd be glad if anyone could help me

For the NULL I'm not quite sure: the input parameter is a VARIANT and what you want to put in is a VT_EMPTY, so perhaps try _variant_t() instead of the NULL.

In addition I think I read something about the INSERT mode which should / can not be used for some reason. Actually I use APPEND, perhaps this can make it a second try.

It works !! Thank you very much

It works !! Thank you very much

For the papers which one? You needed both or the NULL Stuff?

m_VLC->addTarget("c:\\Loading.avi",_variant_t(),VLC::VLCPlayListInsert,0); works

it was just the NULL parameter, Insert is ok

I'm trying to develop a simple c++ application and cannot get the vlc activeX control to play video. When I run my program I can see the activeX widget but no video will play. Here is my example program.

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);

//MainWindow mainWin;
//mainWin.show();

QAxWidget* mediaPlayer_ = new QAxWidget;
QString source("Videos/Formation Reference-3.mpg");
mediaPlayer_->setControl( "{9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921}"); //string is class ID for VLC Media Player
mediaPlayer_->setProperty("mrl", source);
mediaPlayer_->setProperty("autoplay", true);
mediaPlayer_->setProperty("autoloop", true);
mediaPlayer_->setProperty("visible", true);


return app.exec();
}



Any suggestions.

Below are the errors I receive:
