VLC web plugin not working on Mountain Lion?

[fkuehne]

Hello, the plugin will be out very soon from now. I'm currently preparing a public beta. If you are interesting testing the current state, email me!

Regarding Chrome on Samsung tablets, this doesn't seem to be very feasible since this seems to imply that those tablets run Android. There are 0 web browsers available on Android supporting any kind of plugin.

Could you send me the beta plugin?

PM me

Yes , we are updating a version for release soon.

Hi,

habe das Plugin unter Chrome und Safari kurz getestet. Unter Chrome scheint es recht stabil zu sein (ich hatte einen Absturz - leider macht Chrome keine CrashDumps für die Plugins). Unter Safari ist es weniger stabil.

Noch diese Beobachtungen:

1. Ich lade das Plugin im windowless Modus (wmode=transparent) in einem DIV-Container
2. Nachdem das Video geladen ist, ändere ich dynamisch per JS/CSS die Abmessungen des DIV-Containers - das Webplugin skaliert dann die Videogröße entsprechend hoch oder runter.
3. Wenn ich jetzt den Fullscreen Modus aktiviere, dann wird dieser in Chrome fehlerhaft dargestellt (Video nach unten verschoben, weißer horizontale Balken am oberen Rand) - vout alignment issue?

Ausserdem ist mir aufgefallen, dass die "ESC" Taste den Fullscreen Modus nicht beendet (Chrome).

Möglicherweise sind diese Probleme durch die letzten Commits auf Git schon behoben. Die Version auf Dropbox ist ja schon 4 Tage alt.

Ich würde mich freuen, wenn du mir den Link schickst, sobald eine neue Binary kompiliert wurde.

Grüße, Jan

Thanks for the feedback. I'll investigate your reports in the next couple of days. So far, no further changes on the git are related to the web plugins.

Any update on this. I want to be able to stream some .avi to chromecast through the chrome tab and would love this to be working

[fkuehne]

The web plugin (nightlies) prooves very unstable on OSX 10.9.4:

Firefox crash dump: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/ ... 2e52140731
Safari crash dump: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/251 ... mini.crash

[fkuehne]

We need more info from you to reproduce those crashes.

The last 10 or so nightlies don't work at all because the libvlccore library is referenced wrongly.

From the console:

Code: Select all

23.09.14 20:36:57,328 PluginProcess[1545]: Error loading /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/VLC Plugin.plugin/Contents/MacOS/VLC-Plugin: dlopen(/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/VLC Plugin.plugin/Contents/MacOS/VLC-Plugin, 262): Library not loaded: /Users/videolan/slave/vlc-npapi-osx-ub/build/extras/macosx/vlc/x86_64-install/lib/libvlccore.8.dylib Referenced from: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/VLC Plugin.plugin/Contents/MacOS/VLC-Plugin Reason: image not found

That's why it didn't work out for me...

Do you guys know if you have to have installed Flash to make it work or it's a total alternative to Flash?

[lazrhawk]

The VLC-webplugin nightly is still broken - as has been the case for the last 3 month.

This seems to be trivial to fix:

Any updates on availability of the plugin for google chrome on OS X (10.9.5) ?

[asoksevil]

Could anybody provide an updated link for a WORKING Web Plugin for Safari (2.1.0)? The original link is down.

Thanks

This plugin will not be available for the newest versions of Chrome in the very near future, because Chrome completely removed the technique used by our plugin. Instead, Chrome uses a new framework for plugins, which we are not using currently. Maybe we will adapt our code to this framework at some time, but I cannot give any promises here.

For all other browers, you can download the current test version here: http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/mac ... l/?C=M;O=D

How does this plugin actually work? Is it like a YouTube5 or ClickToPlugin replacement so you can uninstall flash and play all embedded videos in HTML5 but using VLC embedded media player?

I'm having some troubles enabling it...
