Why not use Apache with NTLM? Apache has a NTLM Auth Module, its named something like apache-mod-auth-ntlm-winbind.
Maybe you are faster setting up this than getting IIS to work (properly).

Hi.

On windows, I can attach a gdb to the process running the webpage with the plugin and I see plugin-debug output in gdb terminal then.

@RSATom: Well, what is well-known? I think there is no bug-report about it, but it is very well known to me: I started working with VLC around version 2.0.1 - not the plugin, the lib, using it in a C++ application. I've always experienced crashes that come definitely from inside libfreetype.dll with...

I started using fbVLC from http://sourceforge.net/projects/fbvlc/ for plugin-stuff. The documentation is more up-to-date there. Marquee things are working there, I managed to display a marquee-text on top of the video (didnt test logo). But you will not have much fun of it, as sooner or later IE / F...

Why is my installation broken? I just noticed that watching a videostream with Windows Remote Desktop on a remote Machine does not work if VLC uses any of the DirectX/Direct3D things. And as you cannot set the vout-device in the WebPlugin the only way to resolve the problem is by deleting the module...

The plugin in 2.0.6 is IMHO totally broken and unusable atm: Most of the Javascript objects are not there (especially playlist).

But yes, it works fine with fbVLC 2.0.5 in windowsLessMode with Remote Desktop.

Hello. Is it possible to set the video-output device to 'Windows GDI-Output' in the VLC-WebPlugin? We have the problem that quite often someone is using Windows Remote Desktop to access a computer. The browser is running on the remote computer, therefore also the VLC-plugin and the screen in the Rem...

The solution for the Player is to set the Video output to 'Windows GDI'. Has anyone an idea if that would be possible for the plugin too?

Hello. If I connect to a remote machine (win7) using Remote Desktop and then start vlc on the remote machine, I do not see any video being displayed. Is there any known workaround? I forgot to mention: Tested with vlc 2.0.5 and 2.0.6. Note that with vlc-2.1.0-git-20120618-0002 playing video over Rem...

Thanks for the answer RSATom. I'll use the Issue-list for future bug-suspects - maybe it would be nice to set up a Google-Group for FbVlc to avoid having "discussions/questions" and issues mixed? (Even nicer would be: We recommend that you create at least two lists: one for developer discu...

Thanks RSATom - I tested fbVlc and got it basically working. Some questions: 1. Is there a Mailinglist/Forum/.. for fbVlc? I doubt this here is the correct place for questions about it.. anyway: 2. I'm having problems using the method playlist.addWithOptions(mrl, options) If I call it like this: pla...

Hello.

I noticed: If I install vlc player 2.0.5 with the active-x and mozilla-plugin, in mozilla about:plugins it says the vlc-plugin is version 2.0.2 (same for the active-X thing), but in versionInfo() 2.0.5 Twoflower.
Would be nice if this could be corrected, as it can be confusing.

Thank you for the hint, I'll try.

Another Question: Is the vlc-plugin no longer actively being developed and fbvlc is the replacement?

This is still disabled in 2.0.5, not?

I guess: - You use libVLC on Windows - You have set the Character Encoding in the project properties to Unicode - You use std::wstring for strings - You "somehow" convert the wchar_t from the wstring to a char* that can be passed to the libvlc_marquee_XX functions I had the same problem fi...

Try the following: Use the option '--no-video-title-show'. Then it should not display the video-url, and probably it does not need libfreetype_plugin.dll. Or try to simply delete libfreetype_plugin.dll I also expericene Access Violations in libfreetype-plugin from time-to-time when I use 'libvlc_vid...

Thank you both for the help!

Not calling libvlc_XY from the gui-thread solved the issue (well, at least I wasn't able to reproduce it). I now simply start a thread to do the calls, it seems it is no problem for vlc if it receives its orders from different threads all over..

Rémi, I understand your point of view. Well, it does not lock itself up - all blocked threads are from within libvlc.dll, waiting on something, as my gui-thread calls libvlc_stop which does not return it is blocked too.

I'll provide a stacktrace.

Hello brma and Rémi I have the very same problem - I use libVLC 2.0.4 to play four RTSP/RTP Streams. Sometimes calling libvlc_media_player_stop will deadlock vlc. The chances of deadloking are higher on "old" (slower C-Runtime? Windows XP SP2) machines. I use libVLC from withing VC++ 90. I...

I think I have the correct ones: Dependency Walker tells me libvlc.dll uses MSVCRT.DLL what would be the Multithreaded, dynamic link /MD Version, the same that I use from within Visual Studio - strange. For linking, I use the lib from http://code.google.com/p/vc-libvlc/ - should be correct according...

Thanks again Rémi for the quick answer. I still can't get it to work. What is confusing me: From the source-linked above, I would assume this very simple program would work (If the directory C:\vlcPlugins is existing): #include "stdafx.h" #include "vlc/libvlc.h" #include <Windows...

What do you exactly mean with "before libvlc starts"? I assumed that libvlc will "start" on the first call to libvlc_new(..) but setting the environment var before the first call to libvlc_new(..) does not work here (Win7, VC++ 2008, libVlc 2.0.1). Thanks for the help.

Hello. (Another) question about VLC_PLUGIN_PATH: It seems to me that it is not possible to set this variable on a Win32 System programmatically in a way that it can be used by libVlc: If I set up VLC_PLUGIN_PATH as an environment variable using control-panel -> Advanced -> Environment variables -> e...

Thanks for the (very) quick reply.

Hello everyone. First thanks for the great lib - following the tutorial how to display a video in a CWnd-object using libvlc worked out of the box. I have one question atm (more will probably follow): I use libvlc_media_player_set_hwnd (mp, hwnd); to set the CWnd where the video should be rendered t...
