VLC Player Firefox Plugin without Controls!

[eumelchen98]

Hi,

I'm looking for weeks now for a solution to my problem but I can't find anything that helps.
I've always watched divx videos in Firefox with the DivX web player. Unfortunately it causes big problems and crashs in recent versions of FF. So I looked for an alternative and installed the VLC Player (Version 1.1.7) with the FF plugin. The video is played without problems and crashes but unfortunately without any controls. I can see no bar with the button "Play / Pause" etc. and I can not activate full screen mode via double click on the video. Right click on the video does not show anything anyway.
I have now completely reinstalled Windows and installed the codec packs from Shark. So everything should be fine as far as the system is concerned... but the problem still remains.

My system is in the signature.

Many thanks in advance

Hi,

I have the same problem. (vlc 1.1.7 win32)
Can't switch to fullscreen.

But it works with the old vlc 0.8.6.

[eumelchen98]

Ok I tried the version 0.86 and it plays the video and I can switch to fullscreen but i still have no controls...

[eumelchen98]

Anyone an idea???

[eumelchen98]

Ist it possible that here is no real support available? I wrote an email to the support also an didn't get an answer yet.

VLC browser plugins don't have any controls by default.

Hi VLC_help, is there any way to get the controls using anything? To avoid the default settings. Thanks in advance.

[VLC_help]

You have to add javascript controls, but there are many settings that you cannot override in browser plugin because of security issues.

Thanks VLC_help, but I am not familiar with Java.

I've tried to search and it seems that noone didn't make such scripts for downloading. It would be marvelous if we could have just a few controls ( play,pause,stop,full screen,audio controls) . I am not asking for much more.

VLC_help,

I've found the script written by Cromartie888 in this thread which is working for me in the blogger:

viewtopic.php?f=16&t=55544#p302755

Could you maybe help with the implementing the full screen option? Only that option is not available.

[VLC_help]

I haven't done any Javascript for VLCpluging so I don't know how to create fullscreen controller or if it is even possible.

[Vgoto]

Ok, thanks for your answer VLC_help. Even this is great. Just need to be careful not to add avi format, because I've figured that it's not possible to seek the minutes than.
