The VideoLAN Forums

Hi,

Since I couldn't find a better place to post i am sticking it here...
I was playing arround with Labview ActiveX controls last week and bumped upon VLCPlugin2 (i have VLC 0.8.6f installed). Plugin is neatly designed, so programing was a lot of fun actually. In a few hours i made a LabPlayer on VLC ActiveX. It does not support all the features and it has a few bugs but it has a winamp style playlist that i missed in that VLC version. Basically it plays mp3, avi, mpg and mov files.
Although video doesen't work with version 0.9.x audio still works.

To run the player you need:
Labview runtime 8.5.1 -> http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/1019/lang/en
VideoLAN 0.8.6f -> http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/
Lab VLC application: http://www.4shared.com/file/66395507/d0 ... layer.html

Install labview runtime
install VideoLAN 0.8.6f
run the LAbPlayer.exe

So, works with 0.8, but only audio on 0.9?

Yes, when playing video files sound works but there is no picture because v0.9.x lacks the ffmpeg module.

Quote from change log 0.8.6x to 0.9.0:
" The ffmpeg module has been removed and replaced by the new avcodec,
avformat, swscale (or imgresample if you use a swscale-less ffmpeg build)
and postproc modules."

It was ActiveX experiment and built in a hurry so I never expected to be compatible with higher versions anyway.

regards
