vlc as media player

[dynamitemedia]

has anyone used videolan vlc player in a project?

mainly for its divx-xvid support is best using this


also can there be in flash objects over the top of a media player? so the video actually in one layer or background while the a transparent flash in front?

[SWFKit]

var var1 = createControl("VideoLAN.VLCPlugin.1", 0, 0, 400, 400);
var1.window.move(0, 0, 400, 400);
var1.activex.addTarget("c:\\test.mkv", null,1,0);
var1.activex.play();

wow thanks but you know what?

after posting this i have been testing the KM Player and think i may go with this player instead!!!


also is it possible any flash over the video at all? maybe some animated swf giving it a look like on TV where they have those animations.

thanks

sorry i am totally new to this and wow this is confusing, i had tested out swfmaestro and well not as much options, lol..

but now im kinda lost.

anyone here freelancers reasonably priced to help out? i didnt see a section for that and this is a lot more complicated than i thought. i still dont even see where to put that code aboev.

i downloaded and search all thru the example and still no luck

That would be a little difficult, which is that you would have to create a transparent Flash control above the KM control. The createControl method can be used to create an ActiveX control, however, it does not support transparent controls. Therefore, you will have to write a dll by using C++ or delphi to do that. First use the createControl of swfkit to embed the KM player, and then call the dll to place a transparent swf movie above the KM player.

wow thats way out of my league i dont have any idea how to make that dll etc..

anyone here willing to freelance and do this for a reasonable price?

Once Ive created a control using the above method and played the first video, do I need to close it again and create a new control to play the second video. Ive tried simply calling the addTarget again with a new video but the first video remains and no further videos will play.
