VLC (Media Player) UDF

PYRODOG · December 18, 2010

I just redownloaded both the udf and example from 1st post.
The example worked straight out of the box, but of course I have vlc installed including the activex.
Ps, you did not post a script to run anyway.

thank you for your support after reading your post i ran the script on my xp box and indeed it worked great... before i posted i thought had a problem because i was on a 64 bit box so i moved to a 32 but both were win7 so let it be known that the issues i experienced i am guessing a win7 problem did not check vista... also if you compile the script on an xp box then move it to the win7 its runs fine idk... again thank you JohnOne for helping me sir

Im running win7 32bit, and the code worked fine for me, maybe its some other issue, anyway, glad you got it working.

martinatpluss · February 28, 2011

This is awesome - thanks.

Question. I want to stream a rtsp feed from an IP CCTV camera. I can do this in the VLC client by going to Media | Open network Stream and typing rtsp://172.16.20.11/channel1 Any ideas how I can do this in the VLC udf/activex plugin?

thanks again.

I would like to figure this out as well....

I found that in the VLC.au3 file it is hard coded to only accept files.

Func _GUICtrlVLC_Add($vlc, $path)
if IsObj($vlc) = False Then Return False
Return $vlc.playlist.add("file:///" & $path)
EndFunc

So I tried to change it to this

Func _GUICtrlVLC_Add($vlc, $path)
if IsObj($vlc) = False Then Return False
Return $vlc.playlist.add($path)
EndFunc

But it didn't work like I had hoped. I think I'm headed in the right direction though. I will look into it further unless someone has already accomplished this and posts a solution to playing a stream with this UDF.

thepaulguy · March 1, 2012

Actually this did work... I must have mistyped the location of the stream the first couple of times.

Just change the _GUICtrlVLC_Add function in the VLC.au3 to this...

Func _GUICtrlVLC_Add($vlc, $path)
if IsObj($vlc) = False Then Return False
Return $vlc.playlist.add($path)
EndFunc

thepaulguy · March 3, 2012

I added a fullscreen function to the end of my VLC.au3 that works great. I think you need version 1.1.11 or higher of VLC for it to work.

Thank-you for all the hard work.

I was wondering if you could add a function to switch audio track on a video? I work with a lot of video files. Some of these files have two tracks, English and non English, sometimes the tracks are in reverse order. I need to manipulate the video files depending on the audio track. If you can show me how this can be done, it would be much appreciated. Thank-you.

l4tran · March 30, 2012

I noticed, if the filename is unicode, it would not play the file. I have files that is named in French with accents, these files would not play. Anyway around this?

l4tran · March 31, 2012

I figured it out how to change audio track. Now just need this to work with Unicode filename.

KaFu · April 11, 2012

Use FileGetShortName() to convert the input filename.

I'm sory! My English very Bad!

I look forward to having 1 of VLC ActiveX use UDF rather than creating an object. Because if you use the ActiveX of VLC do not need to install VLC on your machine that just two files libvlc.dll and libvlccore.dll.I really look forward to having 1 UDF uses ActiveX of VLC. Thank you very much!

When are you making this available?

Lyoko · July 2, 2012

When are you making this available?

You can just give me the UDF?

AndreyS · July 3, 2012

Thank you for your helpful UDF!

It is necessary to move and resize the object VLC during its operation. Can you please tell how to do this?

Functions GUICtrlSetPos and WinMove not work with this element. GUICtrlDelete function also does not work.

Thanks!

AndreyS · July 8, 2012

Please tell me how to remove vlc-object on the form? :unsure:

September 21, 2012

It does not work on the latest version of VLC ...

Please update the UDF to support the latest version ..

AndreyS · October 11, 2012

In the example(VLC UDF Example.au3) of the slider stops working if the move it or if you just hover your mouse on it.

How to fix it?

Thanks!

AndreyS · November 7, 2012

Can anybody tell what files and registry keys are needed to work UDF without full install VLС?

PAEz · February 1, 2013

Just thought Id point out that there is a take snap shot command, but unfortunately it crashs when ever I use it...

$vlc.video.takeSnapshot()

You can find a full list of commands here....
