You could add these registry keys:

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\MozillaPlugins\@videolan.org/vlc,version=2.2.1] "Description"="VLC Multimedia Plugin" "Path"="C:\\path\\to\\your\\vlc\\npvlc.dll" "Product"="VLC media player" "Vendor"="VideoLAN" "Version"="2.2.1"
But then it's not longer completely portable ;)

chrome should use the same keys.
But in newer versions of chrome, the npapi plugin support must be enabled manually, see https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.ph ... 08#p422134

hi!
thx!
i've chrome 43 -portable-
do you think is the same way of the post you linked above..?

in chorme 43 i've:
Attiva NPAPI Mac, Windows
Consente di attivare l'utilizzo dei plug-in NPAPI. In Chrome 45 verranno rimossi questo flag e il supporto di NPAPI. Visita la pagina g.co/npapi #enable-npapi
Disabilita

so it should means that i've it enabled..am i wrong..??

cheers!

:)

I think the key "ChromePlugins" will not work, try it with "MozillaPlugins"

NPAPI plugins will be always registered in MozillaPlugins for compatibility with mozilla based browsers and the most of other browsers. Only the plugin for Internet Explorer will registered over an other way.
