Hi,

I am creating a camera wall of 16 instances of the .NET C# control on a single C# form and playing 16 separate streams of video from 16 cameras. All 16 vlc players play the streams. HOWEVER, if I move the form past the Windows border or collpase the form and bring it up again the first player that started playing video ispainted with whatever was under the screen and I can't get that player to play video again.

How do you put 2 or more instances of a vlc control on a form?

I think there must be some option string that can tell vlc how to play multiple streams?

You don't get this problem with the vlc activex control.

Thanks!

Found one solution... if I set the video output module to "Windows GDI video output" instead of DirectX I can play 36 players at the same time on a single C# form and none of them crap out.

But I woul like to find a DirectX setting that would alow me to do this this?

I was wondering how your able to play multiple instances with the activeX control in a single form. Whenever I try, I can only play one instance.

I appreciate your help.
