Try to tie the url string to the URI input on the VLC activex. This is the same input used for filename

i tried everything which i can do but till now i am not able to give that adress to vlc player in labview.

as i am streaming my video on the adress http://172.16.34.109:8080

 i wants to give this adress in front panel so that i can watch this video on the other system in labview.

 i made this simple programme, i don't kanow more about labview i am learning some features of it please send me a complete block diagram as soon as possible.

                                                                   thanks in advance.

A block diagram was already given to you. By me. Did you look at the example I provided? All you have to do was change the path control to a string (thereby deleting the Path To String function in the block diagram), and enter the URL in the string control. That's it.

The code you provided doesn't make any sense as it doesn't do anything.

Thanks, smercurio_fc, for a great example program.  I'm having trouble with it though, it won't play an .avi file I have, or a stream I'm trying to play.  Is there a VLC software package that is needed for this that perhaps I don't have?  The program reports no errors but no video plays.  Any ideas would be awesome, thanks!

Can you play the video directly with VLC? If not, then that indicates you may be missing some codecs. GSpot can determine what codecs are required to play a specific video file, and whether those codecs are actually installed on your system.

Yep, you got it, I was trying to open some invalid files.  Got it working, thanks!  I also made a version using the more recent VLC viewer, attached here.  Thanks for your help.

Glad you got it sorted out, and thanks for uploading a VI that references the current VLC ActiveX control.
