The VideoLAN Forums

Hi!

I would like to receive a streamed video into an LabVIEW application using VLC. I have tried to implement it using the ActiveX, but I have not succeeded. I'm not an expert regarding adding ActiveX into LabVIEW so basically I must say that it is my main problem... I have succeeded using the ActiveX controller for Windows Media player, but not with VLC.

I would really appreciate if someone please could assist me. Perhaps someone has an example?

Best regards,
Mattias

Hi Mattias,

It looks like LabVIEW doesn't really like the activeX version of VLC (it gives an "unspecified error" when trying to load it).

The only workaround that I've found is to load VLC into a web page, then load that page into an ActiveX container with a Microsoft Web Browser embedded in it. Unfortunately, you lose direct access to the properties and methods of the object, and have to control VLC through javascript or similar methods.

Good luck,

Joe Z.

Hello Mattias

Have you had any luck with opening stream videos in labview? I am trying to do the same but have no luck.

Thanks

Hi all,

I am trying to connect videolan and labview using DLL. Anyone has any idea how to go about doing it.

Salut toutlemonde,


I managed to make LabView and VLC work together. Using a

VLC 0.8.6c

and a

LabView 8.5.

I managed to make the ActiveX work. Just like any other application. My problem now is to handle subtitles, which I don't really know how to do...


Take care
FORREST

Forrest,
Could you please post the code for implementing Labview 8.5 with VLC?
Thanks in advance
Mattias
