title: VLC Playing Embedded in MS Access 2013
body: <p>I want to embed <strong>VLC video player</strong> into one of my Access forms so that users can select a video they have uploaded and play it within Access.</p>
  
  <p>I found code from this website:
  <a href="http://workingwithaccess2007.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/vb-embedding-video-player-using-vlc.html" rel="nofollow">http://workingwithaccess2007.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/vb-embedding-video-player-using-vlc.html</a></p>
  
  <p>But the code which was given doesn't work now. It could be something to do with new updates in VLC which has caused the code to not work. </p>
  
  <pre><code>Dim player As VLCPlugin2
  Set player = VLC.Object
  
  Dim strURL As String
  
  strURL = "C:\temp\1.mwv"
  
  player.playlist.Add strURL
  player.playlist.play
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My main issue is that I tried embedding <strong>Windows Media Player</strong> initially and it caused Access to continuously crash which is why I'm seeking an alternative solution.</p>
