Volume Mixer Shows "VLC Media Player (LibVLC 3.0.4)" Instead of My App Name #484

Hi.

When i use my form's app and begin to play a video that has audio i notice the Window's Volume mixer shows my app name as (see the pic below): volumemixer Is there a way to change this so it shows my app name instead?

Ok never mind. I decided to just use a hex editor to modify the text @ 0x170380 in win-x64's libvlccore.dll file and @ 0x161B70 in win-x86's libvlccore.dll

I don't think this "fix" respects the license terms of vlc. The proper fix in my opinion would be to ask the libvlc developers how to fix that.

@jeremyVignelles is right, and it sounds like the wrong way to go anyway.

I'd try libvlc_set_user_agent and libvlc_set_app_id

jeremyVignelles commented 5 years ago

Didn't know those methods existed, reopening so that we can track that

jeremyVignelles commented 5 years ago

Added those functions in #485, but this doesn't work.

It seems that the issue doesn't happen if the video is rendered somewhere.

Setting the WindowTitle seems to do the trick. Can you share a small repository displaying the issue? @amiga-500
