Project development has stopped. This release is stable but will no longer continue. I lost my LabVIEW license...

Video playback and control in LabVIEW. LabVLC provides a high-level library for adding video to your LabVIEW projects using VLC, an open source media player. You can use it to display a demonstration video of your VI within the VI itself, quickly and interactively tune video playback speed and audio, or just watch a movie. LabVLC can turn LabVIEW into VLC.

• Play, pause, mute, stop video
• Manipulate video volume
• Manipulate video playback speed (affects sound tempo, but not pitch)
• Works with all VLC video codecs (many many many)

• LabVIEW
• VLC

1. Initialize a VLC controller in your VI using LabVLC - InitControl.vi. Requires a pointer to the libvlc.dll of the VLC installation directory, a path to your video, and a PictureBox handle (.NET).
2. Pass the output cluster to the Play VI (LabVLC - PlayControl.vi)
3. Perform other playback controls, make some popcorn, watch a movie...
4. Stop the video when desired (LabVLC - StopControl.vi)
5. Release the VLC media player using LabVLC - TerminateControl.vi

See LabVLC - Example.vi to try out a simple video player (pictured above)
