libvlc.Medium

libvlc.Medium

Class Declaration

 Protected Class Medium
 Inherits libvlc.VLCInstance

Remarks

This class represents a single media resource. Media resources can be a local file, a network resource such as an HTTP(S) download or real-time stream, a device such as the user's camera, and other types of media.

You will primarily use the Operator_Convert(FolderItem) and Operator_Convert(String) methods to create instances of this class. Calling the Constructor() with the New keyword is for duplicating another instance or other advanced features.

Example

 Dim m As libvlc.Medium = "http://media.example.com/foo.mp3" ' Operator_Convert(String)
 Dim p As New VLCPlayer
 p.Media = m
 If Not p.Play() Then MsgBox("Unable to play media!")
