Returns the count of items in the playlist The ActiveX control includes the following properties: Thus easing the maintenance and developing of webpages for the VLC browser plugins. The new JS API interface is exactly the same for Internet Explorer, Mozilla/Firefox and Safari. Please use the VLC ActiveX v2 interface as described in the new documentation. It is not advised to use this JS API any longer. The API described in this page only reflects VLC ActiveX controls prior to 0.8.5.1. 6.2 Creating an VLC ActiveX Distribution.

That's really hard to do, knowing that we won't use MSI, but NSIS. Adding the libraries to the side-by-side assemblies. Using SetDllDirectory to change the Search path when the ActiveX plugin runs. changing the PATH to include the VLC install dir. That's what we did before, but we want to reduce the size of VLC, so that's not an option It looks like these are the only solutions: The problem: when you start VLC directly, using vlc.exe, the start directory is the install directory, so the DLLs like libz.dll are in the search path, so everything works fine, but when you start from the ActiveX plugin, the start directory is somewhere else, so IE finds axvlc.dll (by registry key), axvlc.dll finds libvlc.dll and libvlccore.dll with a path requested from registry key, and libvlccore.dll knows that whatever the install paths, plugins will be in plugins/, but the plugins themselves don't know where to find libz.dll, libxml2.dll and others. These plugins need other libraries, like zlib, or libxml2, and these libraries are DLLs in the install directory. Then, libvlccore.dll starts the plugins needed (codecs, demuxers, etc.). VLC is started from axvlc.dll in the install directory, and then axvlc.dll starts the vlc core with libvlc.dll and libvlccore.dll. There's an ActiveX plugin which can start VLC when it finds a page requesting it, for an embedded media player. I'm a VLC developer, and there's a really annoying bug I don't know how to solve.
