Im trying to use the VLC ActiveX Plugin in a VB6 Media Player im Building but Im running into two problems.

My first problem is I cant seem to work out how to get the length of the media being played and can't get the position it is playing at. Does anybody know how to get the play time and position in VB6 with VLC?

My other problem is that I cant seem to clear the playlist. When I open the program I can play a file no problem. Its when i try to play a second file it will play the first one again. After its done that it will play the second file. Ive tried clearing the playlist but this dosent work. Does anyone know what it wrong.

Thank You

the playlist.clear option is actually bugged. you have to use addItem + playItem for a workaround

for other functions, see http://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation: ... d_above.29

Quite simple actually, to delete a playlist simply press Ctrl + Del.

Length and position are buggy. There's really not much you can do about it.
