The VideoLAN Forums

I thought I could/should add this to my previous post : - FF Quantum is WAY leaner, faster than previous releases, the difference is just phenomenal ! :shock: - I've found Pale Moon as an alternative to FF, it does still support NPAPI plugins, and since it's based on old code from FF (which is why I...

As I posted in another forum (Web scripting), a TV control applet I've developed and used for years has now ceased to function in the latest Firefox update, which does not support NPAPI anymore. So I've switched back to using VLC the media player (not the plugin), and immediately stumbled over that ...

A sad note today : upon request by FF I have updated to the next release, and...

that's it ! Moved to FF Quantum (even in ESR mode) and this does NOT support NPAPI anymore, and won't forever now.

It's gone, dead, finito. So is the applet I've spent months developing...

Ok merci, that's precisely what I feared : no solution for the foreseeable future. :cry: A workaround would be to launch VLC, have it receive the TS stream from the tuner, transmux/transcode it and source the resulting stream (mp4 would be best maybe ?) to an http wrapped stream, which in turn could...

Right, in fact I don't think there's any way so far in HTML5 to define the video source as being a DVB-T tuner, even though the said tuner is wired via usb and generates a valid stream of video/audio data - however the data needs transcoding from TS to mp4 or whatever the HTML5 player is able to dig...

Funny thing is, FF tells me that my ESR 52.9.0 (32-bit) version is "up to date" (sic). No mention of any newer ESR release, dunno why... Anyway, the BIG question is : for all of us happy users of the VLC Web plugin, how will be able to continue streaming e.g. DVB-T TV channels (my case) in...

Oh and btw using " viewID.video.fullscreen= true; " (vlc plugin-specific code) vs " viewID.mozRequestFullScreen(); " (FF html5/JS) yields different behaviours - this may be normal I dunno, but it tells me that I'll have to try various combinations of html/JS code and see how it g...

Hi da2424 , thanxx a bunch for yr answer. As for the code you just posted I'll give it a try, in fact this whole thing is giving me the opportunity to revisit several areas of my years-old applet code, and well... it does need some overall rethinking, in fact I might rewrite a good chunk of it whene...

DexDeadly , late answer since I just found out about yr post : seems to me that the issue you are/were having is because mainstream Firefox releases have stopped supporting external plugins like vlc's (and any other plugin). I've had the same pbm last year and found a workaround, and that is to ins...

Just updated to VLC 3.0.3 (from 2.x.x), but issue still present (not that I was expecting a change, nothing to that affect in the change log from v2). As a side note, I tried a test page using the html5 <video> tag for reading a mp4 movie in Firefox, works fine and does fullscreen as expected (using...

Not sure it helps all that much, but posted a screendump below : http://om.zone.free.fr/IMAGES/2017/windowless-FD-issue.jpg Needless to say, I'd rather have the picture occupy the entire screen. :mrgreen: (which is the case when the vlc plugin embed is set to windowless="false", no problem...

Hi everyone ! I have coded my own "TV app" using the VLC plugin in Firefox (now rel. 52) under Windows10 (used to be Win7), all's fine and dandy, been pretty happy with it so far (for a few years in fact). I'm streaming a DVB-T card to watch TV with various controls, window sizes, etc... t...

Yes, that's precisely what I've done, thanxx (but it shouldn't be necessary to do it this way, the vlcArgs should handle this but it doesn't, or at least doesn't work on my setup). Anyway, reading more thru the Webchimera site I found out that on Windows (I'm under Win7 SP1 x64, great OS btw) it's k...

Wow ! Pretty fast to answer, maybe you were watching tennis game (Roland Garros men's final) on tv like I was this pm ? ^^ I just checked your basic demos (link in yr post), which btw gave me the answer about the irritating pause thing on left-click (seems to be caused in QML by the "MouseArea ...

Thanxx RSATom , I see that you're part of the Webchimera dev team, nice piece of work. I have installed the mouse_events demo on my local web server (which allows me to run locally with QML stuff), made it to work quite easily, then mod'ed a few things here and there to my likings, and been able to ...

Thanxx, I've had a look already but it seemed a little too "sophisticated" for my needs - but I'll have a second look nonetheless, certainly worth it if as you say it helps eliminate events handling issues...

Just to mention that thanks to the above mentioned improvements in the web plugin, I've been able to add to my applet an "auto-switching" capability, such that when I select a TV channel the audio track would automatically switch to "original" if it's present - ie English most of...

Concise and clear, thanxx. Hopefully in the near future... Sorry to be abusing a little here :oops: , new question : I've just added a mousewheel event handler (so that in the applet I can tune up or down the audio volume with a mouse scroll, same as in the VLC app). However this does not work if th...

Just one last bit of info about this issue, I'm able to get data about stream buffering and other data like what appears to be the duration of the program currently playing since it started (using the VLC event "MediaPlayerTimeChanged"), so obviously the web plugin is actually able to gras...

Looks like you've done some nice piece of work here, merci beaucoup pour tout ce travail. :) As per the "EPG" issue, what I'm trying to do is at least be able to display the name of the program currently playing (by the selected TV channel), for instance a movie "American Beauty"...

Sorry but obviously missed the previous post, in fact got back here by chance, looking for the resolution of another issue with the VLC Web plugin (DVB-T EPG info. not available, most vlc.mediaDescription.xxx properties return a "null" value, except for the .title which returns the locatio...

A quick post just to let you know that I've found a simple workaround for this bug, at least for the (only?) DVB-T channel here which regularly broadcasts movies, shows and docu's in original audio language with FR subtitles.

Anyone ? No one ? :( Is this bug (I suppose it's a bug) being worked on, has it been assigned to a specific release, or is it now " closed " and therefore ignored ? Doesn't seem like a complex task to fix it really (easy to say for s'one who's not going to do the job, I know), yet so very ...

Alright, well after some more search I've found a corresponding "ticket" in the VLC bug tracking system : http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=commitdiff;h=2c5ee1707b1962ee3f47dbe4abb7c199aeccc022 which confirms what I wrote in previous post, the web plugin behaviour changed in a previous ...

Ok instead of re-re editing my previous post I thought I'd create a new one ^^, just to say that FINALLY I've been able to get SUBTITLES to show up in the VLC web plugin. :) What I did was first check with the media player that there was at least one subtitle track active in the chosen stream (ArteH...
