VLC-Plugin in Mozilla : runtime error R6034

[matzelito]

hallo
i have the VLC 0.8.6a (Wx widgets interface)
and i use the html/javscript code which was posted here in the forum
with "VideoLAN.VLCPlugin.2" is included in the embed tag

if i open it with Mozilla firefox 2.0.0.1 sometimes it plays the embeded mpeg- movie very well, but sometimes i receive : problem loading dynamic link library " R6034 error.

In the mozilla browser Forum somebody told this is a problem with
WMP and vlc. Is that true ?
I uninstalled WMP, but in the plugins page of mozilla wmp is still listed ...
Can anybody give me a hint ? Thx

Hi,

I also receive an error loading the 0.86a plugin under firefox in windows xp sp2.

Runtime error R6034

"An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly."

Firefox 2.0.0.1

The plug in still works most of the time.

Hi,

first of all, I am using 0.8.6i, but the problem is exactly the same, so maybe the workaround I've found may help 0.9.2 users (hopefully me when I decide to upgrade). I am posting this in 0.8.6 posts too.

The situation where I got R6034 crash was when opening the window with the plugin and in the onload event I tried to start playing.

Solution:

<BODY onload="adjust2Window();sleepy(500); playit();" >

where adjust2Window is window resizing stuff, playit calls the "play" method in the plugin, and sleepy is:

function sleepy(naptime){
var sleeping = true;
var now = new Date();
var alarm;
var startingMSeconds = now.getTime();
while(sleeping){
alarm = new Date();
alarmMSeconds = alarm.getTime();
if(alarmMSeconds - startingMSeconds > naptime){
sleeping = false;
}
}
}


BTW, using the same approach I solved too a Firefox 3.0.4 Hang in XP (SP3) when closing the window while it is still playing ( I am posting this where I find the same problem in the forum)

<BODY onload="adjust2Window();sleepy(500); playit();" onunload="stopit();sleepy(500);" >

stopit calls the plugin stop method.

Hello,

On my brand new WIndows XP SP3 the error did occur with current ff 3.6 and current VLC 1.0.5 when calling an web radio stream m3u.

I did fix it for my web radio stream by removing winamp and VLC in full - then I installed winamp and ensured, that ff uses winamp for m3u - finally I instelled VLC without mozilla plugin and without extention m3u being connected.

so far, it works
