I’ve given it a try and it does work. Some observations though: 1. Compared to the IP Camera Viewer when viewing a stream, there is quite a bit of delay, something like 1 to 2 seconds. This may only be an issue with streams. It wouldn’t make much difference with files. 2. It would be nice to be able to bind to Loaded, Playing and Paused properties. 3. I was unable to adjust the Volume or unmute it. 4. Is there any way to extract the total time of the video when loading it? That would be very handy. Kurt ---

Yes I agree with you, there is lots of things to do to improve it. do you test it on windows or linux ? ---

I tested it out on Windows 7 PC. I’ve noticed that VLC crashes from time to time. I wonder if there isn’t a more stable alternative.
