The VideoLAN Forums

Hi There,

I have VLC 0.98 and firefox 3.0.7. The vlc video plugin isn't working for me.

Its choppy!!!... it stops the movie after a few seconds ..... and doesn't continue...there are no controls to rewind to pause..nothing..... it doesn't hang the system or crash firefox...it just doesn't work properly. I disable the Windows media plugin just so there is no conflict....

I checked firefox setup..(about:plugins) the plugin is associated with all the video file types....

Is it designed to suck this bad? or is there something wrong?

Thanks,

Tom

Tried in http://vlc.revolunet.com?

I went to the page, the video loads fine.... but still no video controls.

It looks as if that is not a feature of the plugin..... making it quite useless.

You can find a Greasemonkey script here: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/25318

I'm using Firefox 3.5b4pre and VLC 0.9.8a. Plugin is installed and videos play fine however there are NO video controls. I can't adjust volume, I can't skip ahead to a different part of the video, etc. How can I fix this other than installing greasemonkey which I don't need. Firefox is already bloated enough. (nightly from http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win32/latest/ still has the same "no video controls problem")

I was very happy to finaly configure VLC to be the default plugin for media instead of wmp(not updated, i dont use it ), the video play fine but the plugin of VLC is useless without controls.
vlc firefox plugin have controls inside of the window? aparently not.
all the good of vlc goint directly to the trash.

Install Greasemonkey for only one script?, no

I have the same problem. I am trying to develope a web application and would like to add a video control system using javascript, however i cannot manage to make the controls work. They dont work in my firefox, either in my web or in the examples that i found on http://vlc.revolunet.com I assume it is a problem of my configuration, however i cant find what seems to be the problem.

Im using firefox 3.0.11 and also tried in the new firefox 3.5 on windows xp.

Thanks for your help!
