Python ctypes bindings with non-installer VLC

[niboshi]

I have non-installer version of VLC in my Windows system.
When I tried to import vlc.py from my script, naturally it failed to
locate the libvlc.dll:

Code: Select all

... File "X:\...\vlc.py", line 72, in <module> os.chdir(detected_plugin_path) TypeError: chdir() argument 1 must be string, not None

vlc.py seems to look into only Windows registry and the default
install directory (C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\).
Is there any way to manually tell the location of the dll?

Hello

The vlc module uses ctypes.util.find_library('libvlc.dll') to locate the DLL. This function looks for the file in the %PATH%. You should only have to add your VLC install directory into your %PATH%
