I am using LibVlc.Net to embed Vlc in winforms using C++/Cli.
Dragged a 'VlcPlayerControl' Component from ToolBox to winforms UI
Followed this tutorial.
There are no Build errorsdss, but i see a run time error when i click on Play button.

An unhandled exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in dz.mediaplayer.vlc.dll<br />
Additional information: Package file not found.<br />

here's my code for button_click event. Error occurs at line 2 in code below

vlcPlayerControl1->Initialize();
DZ::MediaPlayer::Io::MediaInput^ Mi = gcnew DZ::MediaPlayer::Io::MediaInput(DZ::MediaPlayer::Io::MediaInputType::File, "D://video.mp4");
vlcPlayerControl1->Play(Mi);

File path is correct, i have video.mp4 in D drive
What Could be the issue?

Thanks

with regards

You should catch the exception and examine all the information provided to find out which file the error refers to. By the look of the message it is something in the libraries that is missing.

@Richard Thanks for your reply. i used 'try-catch' block and you were right, i had to put the libraries in the exe folder..i had extracted dll's into exe folder but it was expecting zip file!
anyways now its showing a new error..

DZ.MediaPlayer.Vlc.Exceptions.VlcTimeoutException: Timeout waiting required state.

Sorry but that error could be caused by any of a million conditions. You need to find someone who knows the internals of this library, or look at the source code and try to figure out what is happening.
