The VideoLAN Forums

Gnash? That sounds like a Linux thing and I'm on Windows. So basically, VLC installs a plugin in Firefox that's absolutely useless. Im not sure why then VLC would do that but good to know. What really blows is the fact that we're so reliant on Adobe then.

Thanks for the reply Remi.

Correction, I don't want to have to install Adobe Flash Player if I don't have to.

OK sorry if this is a noob question but I want to know if VLC player plays Flash video, why doesn't the VLC plug-in work in my browser to play streaming flash? I don't want to install Flash player if possible.
If the VLC plug-in doesn't work that way, what is it in my browser for?

Thanks
