libvlc.VLCMediaPlayer

libvlc.VLCMediaPlayer

Class Declaration

 Global Class VLCMediaPlayer
 Inherits Canvas

Remarks

This class provides a convenient Canvas-based control that contains a VLCPlayer instance. Video output will respect the dimensions of the Canvas, completely obscuring it.

Basic use

Drop an instance of the VLCMediaPlayer control onto your window, then use the Media property to specify the media file or URL to be played. Media accepts a FolderItem or a String containing the fully-qualified URL. Then use the Play, Pause, and Stop methods to control the playback.

Player backdrop

The parts of the player control which are outside of the video's screen dimensions may tear and the background color of the parent window/control will bleed-through. For best results, place the VLCMediaPlayer control on a window, ContainerControl, Rectangle control, etc. with a black backdrop. See the demo window in the project for an example.
