VLC via VLCJ few questions about DLLs usage and VLC settings

[claudeH]

Hi

We are trying to use VLC in a Java application (wrapped by using VLCJ).
Our application is delivered through java web start. Our Videos are all encoded with Theora and Vorbis.

1) As we do not want ask the end user to install VLC before being able to play video , we’d like to provide the DLLs within our application (Jar Embedded).
The first problem concerns an error message indicated by VLC about the parameter “plug in path” which seems required.
We’d like to avoid extracting all the needed DLLs from Jar to a local path. We have tried to force the loading of all DLLs programmatically but as the parameter is not defined that prevents VLC to work. Is there any way to achieve that?

2) As we use only few codecs and that our application works only on Windows platform, we’d like to deliver the required DLLs only (less than 10Mb). The current Plugins folder takes about 50Mb. How can we get the list of the DLLs really required?

Thanks in advance of any help

2) remove skins2, qt4 and avcodec ones
1) I don't think so.
