VB.Net problems viewing jpgs

[ButchA]

Hello,
I'm using the ActiveX plugin "AxVLCPlugin21" of VLC to build my own player based on VB.Net. Everything worked fine until I installed the new VLC Player (2.0.1 Twoflower).

Now, I always face problems when loading jpgs i.e. the whole application is frozen and I don't get any exception. Here comes the code causing the crash:

Code: Select all

gv_CurrentMedia = gv_Files(gv_MediaIndex).FullName.ToString AxVLCPlugin21.playlist.items.clear() AxVLCPlugin21.playlist.add("file:///" & gv_CurrentMedia) AxVLCPlugin21.playlist.playItem(0) ' --> CRASH

The strange thing is: The first jpg is displayed for 10 seconds but when I try to call the second jpg from my list the crash happened.

In the previous ActiveX version 1.1.11 of VLC I was using the following code to display the media but unfortunately this is not working with the new version 2.0.1:

Code: Select all

gv_CurrentMedia = gv_Files(gv_MediaIndex).FullName.ToString AxVLCPlugin21.playlist.items.clear() AxVLCPlugin21.playlist.add(gv_CurrentMedia) AxVLCPlugin21.playlist.playItem(0)

The only difference to the new implementation is the definition of the path "file:///" but w/o this prefix no media was loaded. Thus, I think something must be wrong with this...

By the way: Other media e.g. avi, mkv, mp3 causes no problem at all.

It would be great if someone could give me a hint to solve my problem since I tried so much but nothing could help so far.

Thank you!

Really no idea?

It seems to me that the method "playlist.add" was updated within 2.0.1 version i.e. more parameter like file, name, and options are available. Is there a new documentation which is describing the new ActiveX component?

Maybe, there is a better alternative way to open media then I have used so far. I'd appreciate every little hint!

One more finding from my side: It seems the VLC 2.0.1 ActiveX plugin just has problems with jpegs i.e. when I convert the jpegs to bitmap for example no problem occures.

Why I only got problems with jpegs??? Please, help!

PS: Now, I've installed the older version 1.1.11 "The Luggage" again and everything works fine but this can just be a workaround.
