Does anyone here know how to make PasLibVlc supply an error code or error message when an error occurs?
I have implemented the event OnMediaPlayerEncounteredError in order to check what is happening. So in this event handler I just display the vlcPlayer.LastError and it is always an empty string...

I would like to know exactly what has happeden when trying to open a media stream or file.

There are numerous possibilities like: non-existing target, http login required, unsupported stream format etc.
What I have encountered is the login required error when the media resides on a password protected directory on the webserver.

Anyone who has used PasLibVlc and solved the error handling?

Forgot to add the underlying event code from PasLibVlc:

    property LastError: string
      read   FError
      write  FError;
procedure TPasLibVlcPlayer.WmMediaPlayerEncounteredError(var m:
TVlcMessage);
var
  tmp : PAnsiChar;
begin
  tmp := libvlc_errmsg();
  if (tmp  NIL) then
  begin
    FError := {$IFDEF
DELPHI_XE2_UP}UTF8ToWideString{$ELSE}UTF8Decode{$ENDIF}(tmp);
  end
  else
  begin
    FError := '';
  end;
  if Assigned(FOnMediaPlayerEncounteredError) then
    FOnMediaPlayerEncounteredError(SELF);
  m.Result := 0;
end;

And here is my simple test code:

procedure TfrmMain.vlcPlayerMediaPlayerEncounteredError(Sender:
TObject);
begin
  MessageDlg('Error: ' + vlcPlayer.LastError, mtError, [mbOk], 0);
end;

The message dialog always shows "Error: ", i.e the LastError string is always empty.
