Hi Geert,
thanks for your report. I ask you to be sure that libvlc-control is 
correctly reachable from jvlc, which means it is included in the PATH. 
As a fast check, try to copy the libvlc-control.dll in your system32 in 
the windows dir, if you still get the same error, then I'll open a bug 
and work on it, if you get 

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Unable to load library 'vlc'

or

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Unable to load library 'libvlc'


without the control suffix, then it means you need to fix your PATH.

Cheers,
Filippo
