Vlc 2.1.5 integration no longer works after upgrading to 2.2.0

[pvl]

Hi

I have a smalltalk application that integrates a vlc active x component in its GUI. This application was developed with vlc 2.1.2.
For the people who speak smalltalk, the important bit looks like this:

spec := ActiveXSpec new.
spec progId: 'VideoLAN.VLCPlugin.2'.

Now however, with version 2.2.0, this no longer seems to work (at all, not a single interface function can be called, the COM dispatcher seems like it is not initialized correctly).

Has something changed in the way Active X integrations work for version 2.2.0? New classId? new prog ID? new anything I should know about?

cheers

What are the errors?

There is a problem with initializing the COM dispatcher because there is a name collision for versionInfo.

Previously, there was only a property named vlc.VersionInfo.
Since v2.2.0, there is also a method named vlc.versionInfo() for compatibility with the mozilla plugin.

Code snippet from axvlc.idl:

Code: Select all

[propget, helpstring("Returns VLC Version.")] HRESULT VersionInfo([out, retval] BSTR* version); [helpstring("Returns VLC Version.")] HRESULT versionInfo([out, retval] BSTR* version);

Are you sure? How did you debug that, btw?
