I have had the same problem on multiple machines (not all but many). We still here the audio but the plugin window goes black and you can't get it back without restarting the browser. I have posted the issue in a separate thread. As of yet no one has been able to answer the questions. I have had various problems in general with the activex version of the plugin. But the fullscreen one seems to be the most prevalent.I switched my code to use the new clsid an then tried doubleclicking on the player to go to fullscreen. It went black (no longer was playing).

Hi!I switched my code to use the new clsid an then tried doubleclicking on the player to go to fullscreen. It went black (no longer was playing).
Thanks for your comments. All of them were very valid indeed.@MetalGautham
are you sure you want to use Videolan for a general purpose website?
After using videolan for almost one year on a web project my feeling is mixed.
The reasons for my feeling:
1... the default installation pack of videolan for windows does not include the mozilla plugin in the default installation options. This means that a unexperienced user, even if advised, may well miss this step and think your website is not working with firefox. Moreover MAC users will have to download a separate pack to install the plugin: the default MAC installation archive does not contain the plugin. Again, think about advising the users of this.
2... the videolan plugin will not use the proxy settings of the browser it runs into; this means that a certain percentage of your website visitors (tipically from inside companies, sometimes the most valuable visitors) they will not be able to see your videos without managing videolan configuration settings. They will get a generic error. For a general purpose website this may prove to be quite a problem.
3... up to now I was not able to find a simple way to display a splash image in the videolan plugin, useful for example while it is buffering. In Internet explorer the activex plugin will display the videolan cone while buffering, while in firefox the mozilla plugin will display the words "(no video)" on a black screen until the buffering ends. You will need some javascript to provide some feedback to the user. To my records the tipical user will remain on a black "(no video)" page without useful feedback for 2 or 3 seconds before fleeing.
4... in the default installation options videolan takes ownership of all the media file types. If you miss this, then to change file type association on windows the only option is to uninstall videolan and reinstall it. This spells problems expecially for the users of firefox: if you use mixed media types and plugins in your website (for example you use the media player plugin for some files and videolan for some other files) after installation everything in firefox will try to open up with videolan. This is what is happening to me on firefox right now, even after trying to uninstall-reinstall videolan several times.
5... As you see, all the issues I mentioned above are really quite simple to address. Why weren't they addressed in the past? They were reported many times on the forums. For example the proxy settings thing is on the videolan "trac system" since 3 years , marked as "easy". This poses some questions. I have no answer, but I have the feeling that the videolan team is not much focussed on developing the plugins, expecially addressing the usability issues. I feel that they are more focussed on developing videolan as a standalone media player.
I do not want to discourage you anyway. Maybe I am biassed. I may also be wrong on some issues or maybe on all of them. I may well be a spy from M$ . Have a look at the forums about the topics I listed and decide for yourself.
