title: Setting options for VLC ActiveX Plugin
body: <p>I was able to use the <a href="https://wiki.videolan.org/ActiveX/" rel="nofollow">vlc activex plugin</a> (version 1 and 2) in a c#.net application to display videos. It runs nicely, but I can't set any options.</p>
  
  <p>Here's the code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>string options = "--brightness=2"; // I also tried ":brightness"
  axVLCPlugin1.addTarget("file:///"+ filePath1, options, AXVLC.VLCPlaylistMode.VLCPlayListReplaceAndGo, 0);
  axVLCPlugin1.play();         
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is for version 1. Version 2 gives the same results. The "options" do not have any effect on the displayed video.</p>
  
  <p>The documentation says that most command line options will work, but I can't get any to work.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
