Showing picture on VLC addon dialog

[sbrbot]

Is it possible to show a picture on VLC addon dialog? I mean, picture dowloaded from web site - for example using vlc.straeam() to download image content in binary from and then show it in dialog with add_image widget or something like this.

d:add_image( path, ... ): Create an image label. path is a relative or absolute path to the image on the local computer.

I'm aware of add_image() method but for me relative path does not work (does relative path mean that image file must reside in the same extensions folder where addon lua file resides or something else - relative to what!?).
Absolute file path works but that's not applicable in reality.

I found it, the relative path means relative to VLC's installation folder (C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC)

So

Code: Select all

d:add_images("C:\\Program Files\\VideoLAN\\VLC\\lua\extensions\\image.png",1,1)

is the same as

Code: Select all

d:add_images("lua\\extensions\\image.png",1,1)

If VLC is installed in default folder
