ActiveX in IE not adding MRL HTML parameter to playlist?

Postby vice » 18 Jun 2009 12:42

I'm working in a battery of tests for a project that is using VLC media plugin for displaying video.

All the work is done in Firefox but for sake of completeness and because IE is sadly more common than we liked. I've run those tests in IE. At first I was thinking that I've done something wrong with the creation of the ActiveX.

Finally, I think it's a problem with the initialization of the ActiveX not adding the HTML parameter "Src" to the playlist. This is not a problem with the JavaScript API, is related to the parsing of the HTML parameters.

Could more people test this address:
http://vlc.revolunet.com/autoplay.html
with IE and post results and versions used?

My entry:
Tested: VLC plugin 0.9.9 in IE7 and IE6.
Result: FAIL!

I couldn't see the video playing but in Firefox it works nicely and the code of this page is coherent with the VLC documentation. Is this a candidate for a trac ticket?

Thanks for reading.
cheers
