Video remains in browser window after stop - problem

[solitud]

I want to develop a kind of webbased video catalogue and want to use VLC as a browser plugin to monitor videoclips which are hosted in the intranet so I access the files via the file:// protocol.
Overall the procedure is working but I have a strange problem which has to do with the position of the vlc canvas.
When I stop a video clip the last frame of the videoclip still remains in the browser window.
The problem:
1. When I open a new empty browser tab the video appears in the empty browser tab!
2. When I scroll the original browser window after I stopped the videoclip, the remaining videoframe does not scroll with the rest of the pagecontent. It looks like it is absolute positioned. This does not happen when the video clip is playing, then the plugin canvas scrolls perfectly with the pageflow.
3. When I reload the page it seems that every time a new VLC Plugin Instance is rendered, you see it if you try to scroll the page like in problem 2. I get multiple clones of the videoclip, but only one is playing, the others are the stills of the last videoclips.

The same problems occur when I look at the implementations of other developers such as the revolunet vlc js object examples.
Does anyone experience the same problems and has a solution?

Problem occurs in Firefox 3.5.7 and Safari 4.0.4 under Mac OS X 10.5 with Webplugin VLC 1.0.5

Mhh, seems like nobody got the same problem, which still exists for me. In the meantime I figured out, that the bug only exists in the plugin implementation for Mac OS X.
On a computer with Ubuntu and Firefox 3.x everything seems to be o.k., so all I can do is waiting for a plugin update?
Has anybody a better idea?

Same bug on OS X 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard) and Firefox 3.6
On Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) and Firefox 3.6 works FINE

It´s a bug on OS X plugin version?

Please let me know if any workarounds are available for this issue. We are also facing the similar issue on Safari 4.0.2 under Mac OS X 10.5.8
with Webplugin VLC 1.0.5

Sadly the problem still exists. I did not find a workaround and I am still waiting for an updated Plugin...

I've had the same problem with vista and IE8, although it only happens with certain videos.
