Request Update: VideoLAN.org openSUSE Mozilla plugin
Posted: 07 Jan 2016 00:11
This is a request to update the VideoLAN.org website openSUSE download page located at: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-suse.html
Description:
VLC for openSUSE does not automatically include a Mozilla Plugin and the guidance provided on VideoLAN.org for installing an openSUSE compatible Mozilla plugin is currently outdated.
Recommendation:
Update the openSUSE webpage to reference the npapi-vlc package, which also requires manual installation. Versions for all openSUSE releases are found in the Packman repositories here: http://packman.links2linux.org/package/npapi-vlc

To my knowledge the package vlc-mozillaplugin is no longer supported and is replaced by: npapi-vlcNB:If you want VLC's Mozilla Plugin, you have to select the vlc-mozillaplugin manually. It does not get installed by default.
