I just recently ran into this problem. I have an embedded player with all sorts of goodies. The problem I ran into is that the player cannot seem to play files on https domains. This is only a problem on windows and OSX.
The same page on linux seems to work fine.
To test:
Code: Select all
<html>
<body>
<embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" name="vlc" id="vlc"
pluginspage="http://www.videolan.org"
version="VideoLAN.VLCPlugin.2"
width="500" height="280"
/>
</body>
</html>
Code: Select all
var x = document.vlc;
var id = x.playlist.add("https://fascinator.usq.edu.au/trac/export/2752/code/the-fascinator2/branches/media/plugins/transformer/ffmpeg/src/test/resources/quicktime.mp4");
// google for "test filetype:mp4 inurl:https"
x.playlist.playItem(id);
alert(x.input.state);
I searched in trac and could not find any bug reports regarding this. I was wondering if anybody knows what the problem is and/or if there are any workarounds. If not, I will file a bug.
Thanks.
