"Video is loading..." indefinately

[janow]

You have restarted your computer? And you installed VLC using installer?

yes I have restarted my computer and yes I installed VLC using installer... I don't know if there is a link but the VLC instalation folder is on a partition of my hard drive and not on C:

thank you for the answers

[VLC_help]

And if you have done the path trick, does vlc start if you press Windows key + r and type vlc?

[janow]

When I do that vlc starts .... so I did it right !

[shashaanktulsyan]

same here, vlc starts that way alright.
And also everything janow tried i also tried.

[VLC_help]

Do you have multiple VLC installs in your computer? Is the VLC Mozilla plugin copied to Firefox plugin directory?

[janow]

No I don't have multiple instance of VLC installed... and I thought the VLC Mozilla plugin was automatically installed in the Firefox plugin directory. How can I see if it's been done correctly?

Thank you

This Version should fix the problem:
http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win ... 1110-0203/

You can test the vlc plugin for firefox 3.0.3 at this site:
http://altair.videolan.org/~dionoea/vlc-plugin-demo/

Good luck

[janow]

yeah at last !!! thank you very much !!!

[Ankel]

No problem

I realize that the plugin that you stated works for firefox 3.03, but I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with it working for FF 3.0.4? I just updated (have not tried it with 3.0.3) and thought that it should work anyways. Unfortunately, I get this window alert box when I click on http://altair.videolan.org/~dionoea/vlc ... in=mozilla

"Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program ...

R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information. "

After clicking "ok", I get the screen that says "Video is loading" indefinitely. I've had this problem once before, but am unable to recall how or even if I was able to resolve that problem. I tried googling it to no avail.

Since the message seems to cut off, I can't tell if the problem lies in Firefox, or VLC, or maybe I'm just missing a .dll on my system or something? I tend to install things in my own directories (ie, C: Program Files\Stuff I installed) so maybe some things aren't pointing to the right location because they are set to default to "C:Program FIles\<name of folder>..." ?

Another user pointed out to create an environment variable so we could use windows+r and type in "vlc" to launch vlc. I was unable to have any success with that.

Thanks for any help!

that is different problem. http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... 6&t=833275 that helped?

I am seeing same issue on ubuntu linux install of VLC 0.9.2.

Has anybody found a solution?

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Ubuntu is not the same issue as this thread.
Startt firefox from command line and get the messages.

[rishibhargava]

I see the same issue on a windows machine. It happens for certain streaming movies which are long. The short movies from the same site work fine.

Both the movies work fine on windows media player. I will get messages from linux machine soon.

[VLC_help]

rishibhargava: with certain files (like MP4 with moov atom at end of file) it will happen, there is nothing you can do (unless it is your site, then you can fix the MP4 creation).

[rishibhargava]

Thanks for quick response. So if I understand correctly, the same stream will work fine with windows media player but with vlc, it will be an issue. Right?

Thanks again for your help.

[VLC_help]

If another plays it correctly and VLC doesn't, then it is a bug.

[rishibhargava]

Here are the messages from the console when I launch firefox from a shell. Looks like some access issue but no idea on what it is...

You are not logged in, the content you try to watch isn't public.

[rishibhargava]

I am logged into the site and it works fine using windows media player. Do you think windows media player picks up some cookie from the browser and sends over this information to the server which vlc is not doing?

I dont understand how authentication works in media streams.

[VLC_help]

Code: Select all

access_http access debug: We have a Cookie we won't remember: ASP.NET_SessionId=ds0murjnyeurue45mqyzym45; path=/

Maybe VLC should remember that.

[goodrevrnd]

This Version should fix the problem:

You can test the vlc plugin for firefox 3.0.3 at this site:
http://altair.videolan.org/~dionoea/vlc-plugin-demo/

Good luck

I'm running 0.9.8a and am still getting this issue. FF 3.1b2, Vista x64. Audio files actually play, but the video is loading message still appears and I get not controls. Movie files do not play at all and I just get the message. I have tried the %PATH% fix and do not have any of the dll's mentioned in the support ticket in my VLC folder.
