The VideoLAN Forums

Good day!
I have one problem.
In my project I need to the get the duration of the partially downloaded video file of different format (f.e., starting 5 megs and 5 megs at the end are already downloaded). The VLC makes this job perfectly. But only if it is fully installed.
And so, I have to make this without actually installing the VLC along with my application, but getting this worked anyway.
Is there any way to install VLC manually, f.e. registering some ocx/dlls from my windows installer (the application is created via C#/.NET 3.5; Visual Studio 2008 TS is used), and if this is possible, what is the minimum package of VLC is needed?

Thaks in advance.

PS If you now some other way to determine the duration (not using VLC) post here, it would be lovely to see some other solutions if they exist (WORKING ones at the same success rate as VLC).

You don't need to install VLC to do that.

Are you using ActiveX?

You just need libvlc dlls and axvlc.dll and a few plugins. You will need to register axvlc.dll but nothing more.

Thanks for reply)

Yeah, I`m using ActiveX.

If it is not difficult, describe please what plug-ins do I need to place along with the axvlc.dll and libvlc.dll exactly? Or it directly depends on what video formats I`m processing?

COPYING.txt
libvlc.dll
libvlccore.dll
axvlc.dll
plugins/ folder with the dlls you need (probably you can remove libqt4 and libskins2 dlls)
