I just installed VLC (x86) with activeX plugin from this site http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html

but Ember is not detecting it.

Error message

-VLC ActiveX plugin is not registerersd

It's a bug with all latest versions of VLC. Deinstall it and try it again with the version 2.1.5.

So only older version will work?

Bug within ember code?
You still figuring out the cause of the bug?

[DanCooper]

Yes. I don't know why or what the bug exactly is. But i still have 2.1.5 installed and it work in VS and compiled Ember.

No, i'm an engineer, Ember is only a hobby.

Cool.
Which field of engineering are you in?

Would it be possible to use another media player beside VLC?
e.g potplayer

or launch your default media as an external program for video/trailer previews etc..?

Might be a better work around, also not everyone has VLC installed or is their preferred media player.

I think potplayer don't have an ActiveX plugin.

But to get the VLC player work:
Please try to COPY the Interop.AXVLC.dll from .\EmberMediaManager\Modules to .\EmberMediaManager.

Do you have installed vlc x86 with activex addon (checkbox in install wizard)?

Yes, I did..

When I click check installation
It says "All is good"

But now all it shows is a VLC icon in the preview window

===
Do u need to associate VLC with all movie files etc?
Cos I prefer it to not be my default movie player.

[DanCooper]

Move over with mouse an click play?

[madmax2]

Move over with mouse an click play?

lol

I did...

==
Just to be clear, I clicked

Search on Youtube > trailer name...
then select a trailer from the list
then click preview trailer?

==
Also clicked on play button on trailer tab
for movies that have a trailer already...

[madmax2]

Move over with mouse an click play?

I just updated to version 1.4.6

It can now play local available trailers
but not able to preview trailers..

==

How can I get it to play preview trailers?

[InkAndDrink303]

Could I be getting this error as I dont have VLC installed? I dont actually want to install it but Ember seems to need it for trailers? Correct me if I am wrong ...

[Oli_Oops]

I'm running 1.4.7.2 and I am getting the active x VLC plugin error. I don't want to install VLC either. I don't like VLC, never have.
