VLC plug-in support for RTSP streams

Postby fantomaga » 14 Oct 2009 22:17

Dear all,

Today I installed the VLC plug-in for my Mac. I am using Firefox and trying to open some rtsp streams in a web page. Normally the default plug-in for this seems Quicktime plug-in. When I disabled it, I thought it will be vlc plug-in. However then I realized that vlc plug-in looks like it does not handle rtsp file type. When I check the about:plugins page for vlc, it looks like this for VLC section :

VLC Multimedia Plug-in

File name: VLC Plugin.plugin
VLC media player - version 1.0.2 Goldeneye - (c) 1996-2009 the VideoLAN team

As you can see there is not "application/x-rtsp" entry like in Quiktime section. What can I do to play some rtsp streams embedded in the web page?

Thanks for your interest in advance.

Best
