Firefox/VLC Works - IE/VLC Does Not

[jtl60047]

I access a webpage that provides links to mpeg4 files on it server.

Firefox plays the videos perfectly - advance/reverse works on the status bar, pause, play work fine as well.

In IE (I have tried 8.0 as well), the webpage brings up the interface, but the video does not launch. The activex component has been installed, the error that I get is a pop up window - nothing in playlist. There is an ezclaimation in a yellow triangle at the bottom left for the browser - I copied the message and post below....

Webpage error details

User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0)
Timestamp: Wed, 12 Aug 2009 08:52:12 UTC


Message: Unspecified error.
Line: 556
Char: 25
Code: 0
URI: http://192.168.1.8/VLCcontrols.js

Any thoughts or ideas as to what is causing this?

Thanks.

This line appears to be linked to vlc.input.state convertion from enum to string. This enum have changed lately (obviously, because VLCcontrols/object used to be stable and usable) and VLCcontrol library is not yet synced with this.

Documentation:WebPlugin says:

vlc.input.state: current state of the input chain given as enumeration (IDLE=0, OPENING=1, BUFFERING=2, PLAYING=3, PAUSED=4, STOPPING=5, ENDED=6, ERROR=7). Note: Test for ENDED=6 to catch end of playback. Checking for STOPPING=5 is NOT ENOUGH.

VLCcontrols.js executes:

Code: Select all

var VLC_status = new Array("standby", "ouverture", "buffering", "lecture", "pause", "stop", "erreur"); status = VLC_status[this.target.input.state];

Which can lead to a range problem. (value 7)

Thannoy -

Are you saying that I need to downgrade both the client player and the server (Linux) side?

No.

This enum have changed lately (obviously, because VLCcontrols/object used to be stable and usable) and VLCcontrol library is not yet synced with this.

So you need upgraded javascript file.
