If you use the installer, it should be insatlled correctly.
If you use the zip, read the ReadMe in the activex directory.

There is a tes page here to test http://vthr.videolan.org/~dionoea/vlc-plugin-demo/

the README should be sufficient. Could you try to elaborate when you say the plugin is not working.

Similar issue here.

VLC works ok under Firefox - plays but controlls are not available.... but will not play at all under IE.

Using VLC 0.9.9 - and the server has the latest VLC server for Apache under Centos 5.

Thanks.

Elaborating further,
- i installed VLC with the win-32 installer.
- Used the following embed code:

Code: Select all

<object id=playerId classid='clsid:9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921' width='200px' height='150px' events='True'> <param name='AutoPlay' value='true' /> <param name='ShowDisplay' value='True' /> <param name='Src' value='http://localhost/media/test.vob' /> + </object>
- Have equally played arround with

Code: Select all

<param name='Visible' value='True' /> instead of <param name='ShowDisplay' value='True' />;
- Also used "Target" and "MRL" instead of "Src"
- But the plugin only displays like a "broken image" in IE while it reports that VLC Active-X control is loaded (checked with Add-ons currently loaded in Internet Explorer under Tools -> Manage add-ons)
- The problems is same in IE6/Win XP and IE7/Win Vista

Don't know what am doing wrong !!

Exactly what I've just posted!
(See viewtopic.php?f=16&t=60998)

You CAN use it and it works if you load the playlist by JavaScript commands.
But apparently using param "Src", "MRL", "target" or "filename" (as is in the README.txt file in the source) NOTHING happens. Plugin loads but no file was played. The test.html file in the source code has

Code: Select all

<param name="MRL" value="" />
and all tests are done using JavaScript functions. So they all pass.

You can see the difference using those two links:
Using only HTML params:
http://vlc.revolunet.com/autoplay.html
Using JavaScript to initialize the playlist:
http://vlc.revolunet.com/simple.html

The first link don't work at least for 0.9.9 activeX in IE but the second yes (remember it's using JavaScript to initialize the playlist).
BOTH works under firefox.
I'll be very glad to ear about other activeX version (0.8.6, 0.9.8, 1.0-RC mainly). If there's no answer, I'll try to test it myself.

I think it's an activeX bug but until I don't have more information I don't know if it's a regression or it's never have worked.

Cheers

Please, install VLC media player 1.0 and try this ActiveX latest version.

I found that the problem of Src parameter not been added to the playlist have been fixed.
