Bug in PathVLC property setting. ☹ In Designer, when modify PathOutOfProcessPlayer or PathVLC after a MediaPlayerCommand, close the windows and re-open before starting another MediaPlayerCommand. I’ll try to improve that in next release. ---

A new release for the free video module based on VLC : Major Improvements : 1. Global Error Handling (logs, if path are not correct, modification and command retry are allowed : no need to destroy and create the component, …) 2. Detect VLC install directory on Windows (if VLC path is empty). VLC Path only required for Linux 3. Add Java Path to specify a particular JRE or if Java.home detection don’t works. Tested on Win 7 32bits with ignition 7.6.x and VLC 2.0.8 and 2.1.0 Try on Linux (VLC path property required !), no tested for this moment. HTH. Feedbacks are welcome to improve it or correct bugs or simply if it works for your configuration !

This module was only a proof of concept for video integration inside Ignition. Not for use in production. No licence for vlcj. It would not be upgraded. vlcj now include out of process support with vlcj-pro : [http://capricasoftware.co.uk/#/projects/vlcj-pro](http://capricasoftware.co.uk/#/projects/vlcj-pro) You can perhaps contact his developper [mark.lee@capricasoftware.co.uk](mailto:mark.lee@capricasoftware.co.uk) for the release of a more stable module, with licence respect.
