activeX 1.0.0 unsafe option "xxx" has been ignored for secur

[stefo]

Hello,

I have just installed the latest version of vlc player 1.0.0 (Goldeneye)
I used version 0.8.6c before and everything worked OK.
I am using VLCplugin 2 activeX in Visual basic to open and display input signal from Capture card.

I am using following syntax (v is object of VLCplugin2):

ReDim options1(3)
options1(0) = ":dshow-vdev=Decklink Video Capture"
options1(1) = ":dshow-adev=none"
options1(2) = ":dshow-chroma=UYVY"
options1(3) = ":dshow-fps=25.000000"

v.playlist.Clear
v.playlist.Add "dshow://", , options1

v.Log.verbosity = 1 ' to be able to catch log messages
v.Log.messages.Clear

v.playlist.play

As I said, everything works ok with 0.8.6c version, but 1.0.0 version can not display video from video card.

Log messages show following:

unsafe option "dshow-vdev" has been ignored for security reason
unsafe option "dshow-adev" has been ignored for security reason
unsafe option "dshow-chroma" has been ignored for security reason
unsafe option "dshow-fps" has been ignored for security reason

There is a code what I use for displaying log messages :

If v.Log.messages.Count > 0 Then
' there is one or more messages in the log
Dim iter As IVLCMessageIterator
Set iter = v.Log.messages.iterator
Do While iter.hasNext
Dim msg As IVLCMessage
Set msg = iter.Next
List2.AddItem msg.message
Loop
' clear the log once finished to avoid clogging
v.Log.messages.Clear
End If

I do not know whether I use incorrect syntax, but the same syntax works ok with command line interface.
Is there some restrictions in 1.0.0 version?

Thansk for any advice

AFAIK it is limitation of ActiveX but if you use libvlc directly, it should work.

Also, .log API will be deleted one day (it is already in mozilla-plugin). You should write a robust program if you use it.
