VLC and Visual Basic

[thuemmy]

Hello and thanks to take time for read this post. I don't know, if this is the correct area to post my question. Unfortunatly is english not my motherlanguage. If there is anybody who will answer, please try to do this so simple as possible

Here is my problem:
At this time, i try to create a small Visual Basic program to organize my selfmade-video-clips (*.mov). To get experience in programmin with VLC. I started a new project in Visual Basic 2010 Express and added the "VLC ActiveX Plugin and IE Web Plugin v2 (Version 1.0). The code in form_load-event is like this:

Code: Select all

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load AxVLCPlugin21.playlist.add("d:\file0024.mov") AxVLCPlugin21.playlist.play() End Sub

When I debug the program, the form will be shown with the VLC-object in it. But there is only a black background and the white-orange thing (i don't know the english word for it) in the middle. That's it! No error. Of course i tried to play the clip in the VLC-Player and that works.

I hope you unterstand my english.

Thank you for reading this

Good morning,

Sorry for my language, my english is so bad.

Why 3 x "/" in "file:/// ......." ?

Thanks

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

Because Microsoft says so.

[DURDUR]

Yes, but this replace any things ?

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

Can't parse question.

[DURDUR]

Sorry,

is that they replace an instruction or something else?

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

Microsoft specified the file URI syntax for its (family of) operating systems. That is all there is to it.

[DURDUR]

Thanh you very much.

Another question:

any command closing vlc after video playback?

Thank.
