using activex vlc in C#

[bolo]

Hi All,

I am trying to use vlc activex in my C# application, and i cant make it work. The problem is in addTarget method.

This is a small example that shows the problem :

using System;

namespace ExamplePlayer
{
class MainClass
{

public static void Main(string[] args)
{
AXVLC.VLCPluginClass player = new AXVLC.VLCPluginClass();
player.addTarget("C:\\test.avi", "", AXVLC.VLCPlaylistMode.VLCPlayListInsert, 0);
}
}
}

The example compiles fine (adding the needed reference to the activex) but if a i execute it thats what i get :


Unhandled Exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8000FFFF):
Error catastrófico at AXVLC.VLCPluginClass.addTarget(String uri, Object options,
VLCPlaylistMode mode, Int32 Position)
at ExamplePlayer.MainClass.Main(String[] args) in c:\Documents and Settings\Yo\Mis documentos\SharpDevelop Projects\ExamplePlayer\Main.cs:line 19

I have a more elaborated example in which i am be able to see video window embeded in my App with the white screen and the vlc logo on center. But if i call addTarget i got the same error.


Any help is very much appreciated.

Bolo.

which VLC version are you using ? activex is only usable (outside of IE) in developement version (0.8.4-svn). Get it here : http://vthr.videolan.org/~videolan/

[bolo]

Yes, i am using the last development version...

[Quovodis]

the current development version of the ActiveX does not currently work properly with .NET.
Hopefully, a working version should be available shortly, watch out for the commits

[bolo]

Thanks, I will be waitting for the changes.

Maybe, the problem could be in the VLCPlaylistMode. I have a working example using wxpython, i pass VLCPlaylistMode argument as integer in the addTarget call (It is the same as showed in the IE activex example html page).

It seems that the activex vlc component does work well with typed languages. It is only an idea...

Thanks

Bolo.

As already posted in another thread, this error occurs always when calling any function of the correctly created player instance. It has nothing to do with .Net or the addTarget call.
Let's wait and hope for an update

looks to me like the code example above is what makes the control fail..

you could only "hope" of that call to addTarget would work..

just my take on it..

No. Like I wrote earlier every method call fails, not only the one of the example above.

[Magabondu]

i've had the same experience.

No. Like he said, that code example above is only wishful thinking.

[Quovodis]

the latest activex checkins should allow to use the plugin with any of the Microsoft .NET apps;

it works with MS Visual Basic Express 2005 beta 2

those checkins should be available on any nightly releases built on or after the 22nd of August 2005

please report whether this works for you or not

[markEmark]

Hi Everyone,

I am using the 24-08-2005 Nightly Build on WinXP. First of all I would like to thank Quovodis (and the any other developers) for progressing the ActiveX side of VLC.

I am also using VS.NET 2003 and I have embedded a VLC ActiveX Instance in my simple win form, however I cannot get it to play anything.

The first thing I did to add it was to add it to my tool box, and then dragged and dropped a instance on a simple winform.

Now I am trying to play a simple avi but it gives me the output as below.

When I am adding the Target it only accepts an object as a paramter however if I try to use a string and cast it to an obect I get an error ...

An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in axinterop.axvlc.dll

Additional information: The parameter is incorrect.
...

So if anyone can post some code that they have used with VC# and the VLC ActiveX it would be much appreciated...

Regards

Code: Select all

axVLCPlugin1.addTarget("C:\\test.avi", null, AXVLC.VLCPlaylistMode.VLCPlayListInsert, 0); axVLCPlugin1.play();

[markEmark]

Upon reading the debug output from the VLC I realised the problems was the plugins were missing....

So I created a directory called plugins and copied the plugins from the VLC nightly build directory... and voila... it works...

Does anyone know how the second parameter works in the addTarget?

Actually any documentation even if it be in the form of code or anything would be really cool...

Thanks,

MarkEMark

[Quovodis]

here's the output of vlc --longhelp --advanced, which list the options that vlc accepts;
the option argument of addTarget must be an array of string following the same format as the command line arguments
and follow the syntax of options that only applies to playlist items; as indicated below

Usage:
You can specify multiple playlistitems on the commandline. They will be enqueued in the playlist.
The first item specified will be played first.

Options-styles:
--option A global option that is set for the duration of the program.
-option A single letter version of a global --option.
ption An option that only applies to the playlistitem directly before it
and that overrides previous settings.

Playlistitem MRL syntax:
URL[@[title][:chapter][-[title][:chapter]]] [:option=value ...]

Many of the global --options can also be used as MRL specific ptions.
Multiple ption=value pairs can be specified.

URL syntax:
[file://]filename Plain media file
http://ip:port/file HTTP URL
ftp://ip:port/file FTP URL
mms://ip:port/file MMS URL
screen:// Screen capture
[dvd://][device][@raw_device] DVD device

Could someone post a few sample projects (one in VB.NET, on in C#) for Visual Studio 2005 (or Express product) on the web somewhere?

[kingbell]

I use it with C#,it works well.
the code is:
{
string MRL = "udp://@226.1.1.1:1000";
this.axVLCPlugin1.addTarget(MRL,null,AXVLC.VLCPlaylistMode.VLCPlayListReplaceAndGo,0);
}

you can try it.

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone got the playEvent to trigger succesfully?

If so can you please enlighten me?

Env:
.NET 1.1
VLC 0.8.4 (release)

Regards

Mark

Hi Everyone,

I have successfully embedded VLC 0.8.4 Active X into my Windows form application... and it works relatively sweetly...

I cannot get the playEvent Triggering (I am assuming that gets triggered when the object actually plays the content or stream).

I would also like to change the cone picture (when the object is doing nothing) to something else, whether it be a black box or something else.

Does anyone know how I would be able to do that?

Regards,

Mark

Hi is a part of my code (VLC 0.8.5svn & C#2.0):

Code: Select all

public AXVLC.VLCPlugin VLC = new AXVLC.VLCPlugin(); public string[] Voption ={ ":file-caching=1000", ":sout-ts-pid-video=68", ":sout-ts-pid-audio=69", ":sout-ts-pid-spu=70", ":sout-ts-pcr=80", ":sout-transcode-maxwidth=720", ":sout-transcode-maxheight=576", ":sout-standard-url=212.27.38.253:1234", ":sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=2000,scale=1,acodec=mpga,ab=384,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=display,dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,url=212.27.38.253:1234}}" }; public bool VLCPlay(string Uri){ this.VLC.addTarget(Uri, null, AXVLC.VLCPlaylistMode.VLCPlayListAppendAndGo, -666); this.VLC.play(); return true; }

So each time i'm on the "addtarget" line, i have an error. i try to do the same thing with VB6, and .......... it works properly.
In this tread many people has the same probleme, so it works for many other. Here is my question : Is it possible to make the activex works properly with VS ? if it is wich Active is needed and how ?

thanks a lot

[tonsofpcs]

try replacing 'null' with a null array of char (an array containing a single null char [""]) or with that Voption array.

[cboury]

thanks for helping tonsofpcs, so in fact i already try to put Voption in the addtarget syntaxe.

Code: Select all

Défaillance irrémédiable (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))

i have the same Exception with :

Code: Select all

VLC.addTarget("e:\\a.mp3", "", AXVLC.VLCPlaylistMode.VLCPlayListInsertAndGo, -666);

or

Code: Select all

VLC.addTarget("e:\\a.mp3", null, AXVLC.VLCPlaylistMode.VLCPlayListInsertAndGo, -666);

or

Code: Select all

VLC.addTarget("e:\\a.mp3", Voption, AXVLC.VLCPlaylistMode.VLCPlayListInsertAndGo, -666);

with :

Code: Select all

public string[] Voption ={ ":file-caching=1000", ":sout-ts-pid-video=68", ":sout-ts-pid-audio=69", ":sout-ts-pid-spu=70", ":sout-ts-pcr=80", ":sout-transcode-maxwidth=720", ":sout-transcode-maxheight=576", ":sout-standard-url=212.27.38.253:1234", ":sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=2000,scale=1,acodec=mpga,ab=384,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=display,dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,url=212.27.38.253:1234}}" };

thanks for help

I can't get the control to play anything either.

I first added the activex control into the toolbox, then drag in to the window form.

Here's my code:

Code: Select all

axVLCPlugin1.addTarget("C:\\day.mpg", null, AXVLC.VLCPlaylistMode.VLCPlayListReplaceAndGo, 0); axVLCPlugin1.stop(); MessageBox.Show(axVLCPlugin1.Playing.ToString()); axVLCPlugin1.play(); MessageBox.Show(axVLCPlugin1.Playing.ToString());

All I get was a cute cone in the box.
However, the messagebox does indicate the activex is playing.

I'm using VS.NET 2003 with vlc-0.8.5-test1-20060318.

Any idea would be appreciated. Thanks

Hello, I'm working in C#,

I found something which could help you :

I' had got this error :

Défaillance irrémédiable (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))

But I resolv it to add VideoLan COM Control in the ToolBox of VS 2005, and I added it on my form.

In my reference of my projet, I've got AxAXVLC and AXVLC.

After, I add this code on my form Load to test :

Code: Select all

axVLCPlugin1.addTarget("mms://wms4.breakbeat.co.uk/dnb4/live/2003/05/fresh+swift-200303-128k.wma", Voption, AXVLC.VLCPlaylistMode.VLCPlayListReplace, 0); axVLCPlugin1.play();

And I'm lucky, or the best one, lol, It work well

So Now, How do I Had some options...

- String array ?!? No error but it fails
- Any Idea

My String array :

Code: Select all

string[] Voption ={ "demux=dump", "demuxdump-file=\"F:\\Documents and Settings\\ZeBobo5\\Bureau\\" + title + "\""};

I try to set in MLR property, nothing more...
I try to set in option property of the AddRange argument, nothing more...

Any idea?

[tonsofpcs]

Try setting the last member of the options array to a null string ("")
