Windows Forms Application unable to play video [VLC ActiveX Plugin and IE Web Plugin v2]

My Windows Fomrs Application (Visual C++ - VS 2012) can't play video via VLC ActiveX Plugin and IE Web Plugin v2.

During VLC installation (Windows), I selected ActiveX controls, then I selected VLC ActiveX Plugin and IE Web Plugin v2 from COM Components on VS and I added it on the Form. I typed the full path of the video I want to play on Properties: MRL, but it is not responding when application runs.

Any help for what I am missing, would be appreciated.

Solution

  • I typed the full path of the video I want to play on Properties: MRL

    Newer versions of VLC require "file///" in the beginning of the path.

    (e.g. file///C:\Users...)
