ActiveX in Powerpoint, no file name

Postby brethomp » 20 Jul 2009 18:48

I am using the VLC ActivX plug-in in powerpoint to play a FLV file in a powerpoint slide, but when the player starts it lists the file name of the FLV file for the first 5 seconds or so. Is there any way to turn off this feature? I don't want the file name of my FLV file to show.

This would be very interesting for me too. Is ist possible with VBScript to turn the text off?

If you use .playlist.add(), third argument is option. It can be a table of strings or space separated strings, as this:

Code: Select all

.playlist.add( url, fooname, ":no-video-title-show :whateverElseYouNeed=value" )
@see Documentation:WebPlugin
@see VLC_command-line_help

I know this topic is slightly old, but does anyone have an answer? I would really prefer that the name of the file did not appear during the presentation.
