I do not find the common VLC plugin 'VideoLAN.VLCPlugin.2'.

Can anybody suggest what is the problem and how to solve it? I am using MATLAB 7.10.0.499 (R2010a)

Please reply

Thanks

T = actxcontrol;
char(T(:,2))

That is, I think it might be one of the cells that happens to be too long to print out in full the way that cell arrays are displayed.

Sorry, it is not the case.I have already checked it. It still does not show the VLC plugin.

[Walter Roberson]

Are you using 32 bit MATLAB or 64 bit MATLAB? And is the VLC plugin 32 bit or 64 bit?

[kittu]

Sorry to reply late. But both,MATLAB and VLC are 32 bits.
