use libvlc without installing vlc player?

Postby xezoyu » 22 Nov 2010 17:21

I'm wondering is it possible to use libvlc in C# without installing vlc player?
Is it possible just to register libvls.dll or any other(s) ddl(s)?

Ok, now I know that is possible.
Can you tell me how to use libvlc without installing vlc player? What steps are necessary?

When I tried to instantiate libvlc from c# I got following error: "Unable to load DLL 'libvlc': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)", even dll is in correct place(plugins folder under project folder).
Thanks.

Yes, I have them both in 'project/plugins' folder but still I'm getting error mentioned above.

no, libvlc.dll and libvlccore.dll should be in the same folder as your main application.
