'The procedure entry point' messages

[donq - stuart]

Hello

I'm using the VLC ActiveX plug-in in a VB.Net project.

On one of my development PC's, whenever I run the build, I get a series of about 50 "Entry Point Not Found" error messages, such as:
"The procedure entry point aout_FormatNbChannels could not be located in the dynamic link library libvlccore.dll"
"The procedure entry point msg_Generic could not be located in the dynamic link library libvlccore.dll"
"The procedure entry point aout_ChannelsRestart could not be located in the dynamic link library libvlccore.dll"

Despite getting all of these messages, if I click 'OK' to them all, then eventually the build runs and VLC works fine. But is there any way I can avoid having to go through these messages every single time?

I've just re-installed VLC Player 2.2.2 and it made no difference- I found some references to this problem in the forums, but they were all about versions around 0.9. I'm on Visual Studio 2012 using .Net 4.5.51209.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated

Try to delete or rename the folders /obj and /bin in your project folder. At next compilation time, Visual Studio will re-generate some libraries to access to VLC.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I have tried deleting the OBJ and BIN folders, removing the reference to VLC Player in the project's references, re-installing VLC Player 2.2.2 and re-adding the reference, but as soon as I re-run the build, the series of dozens of messages re-appears.

Any other suggestions for things I could try please?

Have you re-opened the project, after you have deleted the folders?

[donq - stuart]

Thanks for persisting. I had closed and re-opened the project before, but I just tried a more thorough approach- uninstall VLC Player, remove references within the project, close the project, delete the folders, reboot the PC, reinstall VLC 2.2.2, re-open the project, re-add the references- and now the problem seems to have gone away.

So I don't know exactly which step I missed last time, but whatever it is, it seems OK now. Thanks very much.

No problem

I, too, have only the one error message appearing while in AOL desktop.
"aout_ChannelsRestrart could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\ProgramFiles
(x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\plugins\audio_output\libaout_directx_plugin.dll"

I have reinstalled VLC and still get the error. Clicking "OK" will help for a little while, but the error comes back.

I haven't created any Projects with VLC. Looking at AOL, there are no plugins showing.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Have you already tried the tips of this thread?

The only thread suggestions relate to a project open.
I've removed and reinstalled VLC.
The same problems are appearing on my laptop, as they did on my desktop.
I just removed VLC (uninstalled) and AOL and the computer is working fine.
I really want to use VLC but........
I'm not really sure if it's VLC-AoL or it involves Windows 10.
