The VideoLAN Forums

I have written a c# application using the libvlc wrapper and it works great on windows 200,xp,2003 but on vista the video is not displayed and none of the proper information is returned about the video such as time,length.

It's odd because when run inside the visual studio debugger, the video plays fine and everything works.

does anyone know what might be causing this? could it be a directx problem?

Here is another libvlc project that does not seem to work under vista

if you are using a winform, just be sure you set the "Parent" window property in the Load method and not in the constructor (I found that in Vista when calling the form constructor, the window handle of the form is not yet created)

i'm using the c# wrapper and there is no "load" method

I'm not speaking about a load method of the wrapper, but the Load event of the calling winform (the application, i.e. Form1_Load)
The wrapper I use is the one found in this url : http://wiki.videolan.org/.Net_Interface_to_VLC
