Hi all, I just installed VLC plugin v. 1.0.5, guess it's the last one, I can see the plugin in folder Inter plugins, but not appearing in Firefox adds-on.
Anyone experienced same kind of problems ?..
Thanks

I am having the same problem with osx 10.7.2 and firefox 7.0.1

Installed plugin version 1.0.5 from dmg. Corresponding file can be found at Library/Internet Plugins but does not show up in Firefox plugin list. Other plugins (e.g. Flash and Google Earth installed correctly and working as expected).

Any idea how i can further investigate the issue?

Thanks for any advise
Cheers

Unfortunately, this need some extra code.

This is easily fixed, I put it as a bug into trac but it was closed as duplicate and as already done for 1.2

You have to open the plug-in package and add this into Info.plist file:

Code: Select all

<key>WebPluginMIMETypes</key>
       <dict>
               <key>application/x-vlc-plugin</key>
               <dict>
                       <key>WebPluginExtensions</key>
                       <array>
                               <string>mp4</string>
                       </array>
                       <key>WebPluginTypeDescription</key>
                       <string>VLC plugin</string>
               </dict>
       </dict>
       <key>WebPluginName</key>
       <string>VLC plugin</string>

(you have to enter it BEFORE the closing </dict> tag)

Then you have to put it out of plug-ins directory, restart firefox, put it back in, restart firefox, and it works.

It should be corrected in VLC 1.2, according to bugtrac.
