vb.net VlcLibDirectory must be set

Postby ppoint » 20 Jan 2019 07:38

Using vb.net, added the 3 references like vlc.dotnet.core etc, added control to a form, and I've set the code for the VlcLibDirectoryNeeded correctly. And I have VLC installed.
But when I run the application (and this form), then I get the error VlcLibDirectory must be set.
This error occurs when the form is created and apparently before the VlcLibDirectoryNeeded is executed.
What am I missing?

Did you correctly put the libraries?

added the 3 references
What are they? Do they include VideoLAN.LibVLC.Windows?

Try to adapt the vlc.dotnet C# sample to vb. Else share the code.

C# sample seems to be working, but not in vb, and I don't see the difference.
Here is the code. thx!

Like I said, you're missing a reference. https://www.nuget.org/packages/VideoLAN.LibVLC.Windows/

I tried to install that windows lib but that did not help. When I retry now, I see that the installation is never finishing. I just rebooted and retried. Same result.

Can you try to add this windows lib on your side to my project? Or suggest another solution. Thanks for your help so far.

VideoLAN.LibVLC.Windows installs fine in your project here. Have a look at this libvlcsharp sample https://code.videolan.org/mfkl/libvlcsh ... LCSharp.VB
