The VideoLAN Forums

I have tried to do a few things that will overlay graphics over the top of the ActiveX/Embedded Firefox object and cannot find a way - I suspect that the video is written directly to the video memory and that the only way to get things to overlay will be through the skinable aspects of the VLC object.

I'm not sure that the plugin could ever write a file.
Wouldnt you be better to run VLC as a server application, which will encode and write the video to file, and use the plug-in to view the stream from the VLC server?

And it turns out that the solution was far more simple than I imagined, use the style attribute of the vlc object. This script below uses the up and down arrows to change the size of the video that is playing (we're developing a system that uses an Apple IR remote mapped to keyboard codes for video ...

I've not had any success with this as vlc.video.width and vlc.video.height are read only The only way that I've been able to get anything to change is to use the VLCobject script in the following way: Create using: myvlc = new VLCObject("mymovie", "400", "200", "0....

The 29060 & 130070 values are absolute time offsets of scenes in the video that I wish to skip through.

Code fixed.

Does document.video1.playlist.togglePause() not work then?

Currently using Firefox 2.0.0.11 on Ubuntu-feisty The following code allows the user to toggle from the standard embedded 'panel' type of view to the full size of the screen when the user presses the 'm' key. All works well unless the mouse pointer happens to fall inside the vlc div - in which case ...

Would you not be better to set the id property (so something like id="vlcID") on the VLC object and use (in the first instance): var vlc = document.getElementById("vlcID"); if (vlc != null) { vlc.playlist.play(); } Then once you are happy that the id resolves correctly: document....

I have similar problem when setting an absolute time so that we can skip to segments that have been identified in the video that we're playing. The following code is set within an event handler that maps keys to scenes: case 49: vlc.input.time = 29060; break; case 50: vlc.input.time = 130070; break;...
