Firefox Web Plugin on YouTube etc?

Postby VideoPlayer » 18 Aug 2013 22:57

Hi,

I understand that VLC Media Player has a Firefox Web Plugin. I'm currently using Windows XP.

Is it possible to have VLC stream videos directly on sites such as YouTube, Dailymotion, Vimeo etc., instead of using the Flash Player? (Without downloading videos and playing locally in VLC.)

Thanks.

Just open the URLs through the menu Media -> Open Network

Thanks for the tip. I found I could play YouTube videos in this way by specifying the URL of a page to a YouTube video. However, this method did not work for Dailymotion and Vimeo (nothing played).
