Use VLanControl.dll in C#

[2stream]

Hello,

I have some questions about the use of VLanControl.dll, if someone knows about it or know where i can find some information over the specific questions.

1. If you create an instance of VLanControl.VlcUserControl() , what are the specifications that are default enabled on the vlc?

2. In the classe VlcUserControl you can find the methods "GetConfigVariable()" and "SetConfigVariable()", so i tried to config my instance VlcUserControl() with this methods, but i works only for a few preferences.

example:
this.vlc.SetConfigVariable("dshow-vdev", "String"); works fine.
this.vlc.GetConfigVariable("codec", "returnError"); doesn't work.

3. In the classe NativeLibVlc is the methods "GetVlcObjectString()" and "SetVlcObjectString()". Where can i find information over use of this methods.

4. What is the different between the methods of question 2 and 3.

Thx anyway

Config variables are foir a few special cases of VideoLAN settings that can be set globally. I've never used them myself but someone on the forums asked me to add the functions so I did. I've always put options in the options array when adding an item to the playlist. Look at the Advanced Long Help of VLC to see all the options you can add.

Thx Tappen,
I tried it out and yes , it is easier.
But now i got another problem.

How can you change the output of movie to another movie WHILE the first movie is playing?

I try to use the method VlcUserControl.Stop() but than pauze it the video or music. I know that Vlc is multi-threaded so if you pauze the video thread its still excist, so if you than use VlcUserControl.PlayItem(index) it will fail. (i think its like that )
So is there a way to close the stream that vlc is playing on that moment?

Thx

Hi there,

Maybe a stupid question, but I can't get this running.

I want to place the VLC into a C# application, but how to do this? I have read many threads here and also the wiki, but I can't get it

Can somebody show me an example how to include VLC into my C# application? Where to get that VLanControl.dll from?

Please help, quite frustrating right now

Thanks in advance.

You can find everything in the .Net page on wiki.

Thanks so far, I've managed to build the DLL file, however when I want to include this into my Project I get only empty controls and no video shown.

Maybe I am doing something wrong? Is the an example how to embed that VLanControl.dll into my C# project?

Thanks again.

I am with my both hands for it. Really useful thing. I hope it will be developed further…

Hey there,

There appears to be a bug in Set/GetConfigVariable. I found I couldn't set certain properties, specifically the Visualization.

I posted a fix in viewtopic.php?f=16&t=36429&p=124243#p124193 hope that works for this too.
