The VideoLAN Forums

Hi.

I embedded the ActiveX into a simple .net example. Problem is, that while it finds perfectly on my PC, it doesn't run on anything else, and complains regarding the lack of plugins.

How to distribute the ActiveX together with the plugins, and how to point it so it would find them?
Alternatively, is it's possible to compile these plugins directly into the ActiveX?

Thanks in advance.

Your clients should install VLC with the activex

Or, you can maybe include the DLL in your own activex, did you try including it in your project options visual studio ?

Hi.

The ActiveX by itself works fine. Problem is, that it can't find the plugins directory. I tried placing them in the same folder, but it didn't help.

Any idea how it can be pointed to the plugins?

Regards.

Is VLC installed on target computer ?

No, and this is the point, to get all self-contained with single application without additional installer, following GPL guidelines of course.

After checking a bit, I can see this specified by something called "builtins".

Can I simply movie the plugins to builtins, and what is the minimum recommended set of modules?

You can specify where the plugins are.

Hi.

How exactly it can be done on the ActiveX level?

Regards.

I tried to use the .add() fuction where you can specify the options, but it seems that modules have to be loaded on start-up - which of course happens before the said function.

Hi.

Any idea how to specify the plugins locations for the ActiveX?

Hi,

Have a look at this topic (VLC media player for Windows/"axvlc activex distribution"):
