Hi,

What do you mean by control? Is there a remote instance of VLC that you want to control from WinCC OA?

If you want to integrate VLC directly as UI component you have ways:

- if Windows based, you can use Active X component from VLC
- as VLC is built in Qt, you can create a EWO to use it
- you can create a webpage (https://wiki.videolan.org/Control_VLC_via_a_browser/) and embed it into UI

It is possible to show a (local) video in WinCC OA without using external libraries by embedding the video in a webpage using the html5 video tag and load this in the WebView EWO.
