The VideoLAN Forums

Hi there,

I compiled the VLC mozilla plugin (by using the xulrunner-dev package and doing configure --enable-mozilla), the libvlcplugin.so compiles successfully and firefox reports that the VLC plugin has been loaded and working.

Now when I try viewing a test VLC page with firefox - I do get to see the display, however, it always shows up in a new pop-up window that says ( hardware YUV SDL output ) My understanding is that for some reason the plugin is enforcing the SDL output instead of the 'in-browser' output.

Any ideas or thoughts on how to fix that ??? (I did try to compile VLC with --disable-sdl but that didn't solve anything)

Thanks.

You need to enable X11 support. And you need to install the whole VLC (and remove any older one), not just the Mozilla plugin.

I did as you suggested (--disable-sdl --enable-xcb) and now the pop-up window shows up again when I visit the VLC page but it's the (Colour AsCii Art) window instead of the SDL one ...

Any thoughts ... ?

Has anyone had the same issue with the mozilla plugin ???
