    VLC working everywhere

    Hello guys,
    I discovered VLC api, and I decided to be changing from WMP to VLC, essencially by the codecs package.

    But, I'm afraid my application can't run everywhere, since a lot of times I'm going to start to edit my project I need to add the references / delete the controls from the form and add them all over again.

    Any suggestion to this?

    Re: VLC working everywhere

    Yeah, I read my question, and myself I haven't understand nothing. God, I'm tired, lol.

    Well, I think that there are 2 questions.

    For both, I use VLC control.

    The first one is, everytime I open my project, if I try to debug it, I just can't. It give me stupid errors like:
    (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)
    or others. So, from what I've read, I need to remove the references and the control from the project and wherever it is, and re-add everything again, then it work.
    Any other solution to this problem instead of doing this all the time?

    Next question is, How can I be sure that, since VLC contains so many errors - or whatever happens in the first question when I open the project - how can I be sure that it will run in the other's computers, just by having the VLC dll in the folder (and not VLC player)?

    Thanks

    You sure your not vb6-ing?

    You seem to be trying to use a library that is either a different version on each machine, or is not coded very well. The control itself I doubt many people have used, so your response here will be low to exact question about that, but the concept of using a COM based object (again, don't know if its COM or not!!) that changes on each machine is a pain. Interop comes into play and can cause havok, I have had the same thing with 4 different version of a rdp client control that works on everything cept window 2003 and then using the windows 2003 version causes it not to work on 2008 etc etc.

    So, instead of VLC what do you recommend me to use as a .NET control?

    I've no idea what you are trying to do . I've never done anything like this so could not suggest anyway.

    Well, that explained it all . Technically, what are you trying to do. Play a movie, a slideshow, and powerpoint show, a general media player, a mixing deck. Its all in the detail, maybe someone will have done something like whatever you are trying to do or have seen a control or know a company who sells it.
