Thanks loads,

I been using the 1.2 mac release so I understand how stable that is.

Thanks for all your hardwork by the way. Mac VLC is great,

Thanks Felix for the reply, I am sorry i do vaguely remember that being mentioned along time ago. Is the work required then to convert from the Carbon API to the Cocoa API. If someone was to attempt to do this, which version of the code would you suggest they start from for the plugin. 1.0.5 or shou...

Hey guys, I am pretty sure i know what the answer will be for this one. But thought I will best ask. How possible is it to compile the VLC Plugin for Mac OS X in 64bit. It doesn't matter even if it is the older 1.0.5 one. If it isn't possible, what is causinig the issues? How mad is it for me to try...

Could be, I used the NSIS package script that came with 1.1 git repo.

But really no big deal. If I was upset I would just install 1.1.11 release from the downloads page.

Thanks for the reply. And also thanks for the Santa hat, it brings a smile to my face when I see it.

For some strange reason the icon file for the Red Santa hat is missing from my compiled copy of VLC 1.1.12 on windows. So instead I have the windows icon missing icon instead which is not as cool as a santa hat. Weirdly the same code was used to compile my linux edition and that has the santa hat ok...

Hey Tom,

Is this fork to port the code over to Visual C++?

Are you starting from scratch or are you optimising the existing code to Visual C++ format.

yea Firefox, Chrome and Opera all use the same plugin. The Mozilla Plugin.

To fix it you need,VLC version 1.1.12. You can either get this by compiling yourself. or download one of the nightlies. http://nightlies.videolan.org.

Is this on firefox?

If so there is a bug that is fixed now but is in the 1.1.11 plugin which occurs if you refresh the browser whilst still streaming data.

I not sure how much help this could be for you. I had this problem and discovered that my loaded the javascript object and html code for the activeX into the DOM cause this to happen on IE9. By not "caching" the code as it were i was able to prevent this from happening. However since so ma...

what browsers are you guys seeing this issue on?

Good news is that one of the devs patched the issue last night. I compiled the new mozilla plugin and just tested it and it works pretty good. I had to update libxcb to 1.6 however but finally got it install and can confirm the X connection leak is gone. But of course that is for linux, Don't think ...

There is currently a stability bug in the latest mozilla Plugin that causes an issue to occur on Windows in Firefox. That issue is to do with reloading the page or changing page whilst the plugin is still receiving traffic. That was fixed in one of the git builds. Have you checked the nightlies to s...

Interesting plan, One point I might add is that not sure if the XOOM is different. But my Android Tablet can't host a WiFi connect out of the box. But my Android Phone can (so your wildfire might be able to). So essentially you would have to connect your XOOM to your phone. Now it is easy to connect...

I recompiled the mozilla plugin trying to remove the calls to xdg_screensaver. This didn't sort out the issue. Still lots of xdg_screensaver and xprop connections persist. So I have mess that up. Still going to keep trying. It just takes along time. Meanwhile, I looked though the bug tracker and fou...

Might be able to save you the pain of that test. I did a load test which had the plugin playing the same video over and over again and it acted the same again. As it was the same video, there was no changing of the bit rate or resolution. Unless the small gap whilst the next video is buffered in cou...

The playlist was multiple different streams, they were the same codec, but different aspect ratios. On terms with your testing of a single DVB-T stream. I did another load test stream a single DVB-T stream via a mutlicast UDP stream and never found a problem (win7, linux & mac osX). Don't know i...

thanks that saves me installing KDE. I only seen the video popping into a separate window and running as ASCII art on windows 7. On linux i found the sound would cut out and the video would play only. On Windows 7 I did select to use directX rendering to try and solve the issue but that didn't stop ...

That is exactly the same issue i found. Video would be blank and sound would keep playing. Then i upgraded from 1.0.9 to 1.1.10 and instead the browser would crash. I haven't done any testing on a KDE environment so no idea if it happens there. Sockets could be an explanation to the issue, I never m...

I worked on those lines as well. That how i discovered the caching i had caused the problem. Interesting you mention ubuntu, On load testing I discovered that fedora (gnome based) would crash in firefox after around 8 hours when cycling though a playlist of UDP streams. I was unable to come to the b...

Have you seen a similar problem bruno.bozic? I am truly not sure that this is the same problem as mine. I found my issue was caused by caching the AJAX script I was using to render the page and only on IE9. What changed in IE9 to cause this I have no idea? I am still looking into it so if anyone has...

Hey, I have seen a similar problem, if you got any additional information. Like what browser you are using (IE7/8/9) and also are you using any javascript (like to open the new window). Any other information would be great, example: does it work once then closing the window and re-opening the window...
