Hello,
after many attempts to load the http interface (extraintf arg) with the activex, I took a look at the source code and saw that the call to VLC_Init is only made with very few args (and that those args are fixed)
The options that we can add when adding a target in the playlist are only options that belongs to an item (those that can have the : prefix), not general ones (like port for http, interfaces, filters,...).
May I suggest to add a property in the activeX that allow to change the args of the initialisation of the library. Something in the same format as the command line would be very easy to use.

thanks

the reason I didn't add an option to provide for a command line like list of arguments is for security reasons only, some of command line options could be used remotely to delete/overwrite some critical system files.

however, I am quite willing to expand the list of properties available in the activex to include more command line options

Hello!

I want access to just about everything you can do with the regular vlc by commandline in the activex. Right now I'm forced to use a wrapper (accessing vlc by programmaticlly clicking on buttons, allocating memory to get information from the statusbar, using the rc-interface etc.) written by myself. Did I mention that it's a ugly wrapper, it works, however, but it's really heavy and relies upon a lot of polling of different types, and is quite enoying :/

As you understand it's not a webpage I'm programming, it's a regular program in c#. This wrapper is using vlc.exe. But it's not working that good.

Before I wrote the wrapper I tried to modify the activex, but I didn't event get to make the whole thing compile... Without modifications. And I tried to follow all the outdated guidelines I could find :/

Could you please release two different versions of the activex; one version that's the default one, the one for the web, and one version for programs, this version with an other name so it's possible to have both versions registered at the same time? It would be a _huge_ relief for me since my wrapper is enoying

Thanks in advance! (Freely translated from my native language; Swedish)
