How to enable the web plugin

I installed the web plugin via Homebrew
So now there's
Code: Select all
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/VLC Plugin.plugin
But it does not appear in Safari, even after a restart. How do I enable it?

Support for web plugins was removed from Safari this summer and will not come back. There is no way to do it and we will not continue working on the plugin. Safari was the last browser on the mac to support any plugins.

OK, thank you for replying!
I guess simply opening a file on my SMB share via VLC is the preferred way then?

Yes, this is the endorsed way.

Is there a chance that the plugin will come back somehow.
The "endorsed" way unfortunately does not work for me because I am not having an SMB file storage but have to play videos from the browser.
Unfortunately my videos seem to be uncorpatible with the build in safari H263 decoder.

The plugin will not come back. NPAPI is dead on all browser plugins and there is no replacement.
