VLC Plugin opening multiple windows

[SteveRicketts]

I'm trying to put the VLC plugin in a div in Windows and Linux. It works on Linux in Firefox. In Windows, when I set autoPlay to true it launches multiple windows, the titles say:

Direct 3D output
YUV SDL output
YUV overlay DirectX output
VLC Colour AsCii Art

Can someone tell me what the heck is going on??.. and how to make it play in the black window that's supposed to be VLC plugin?

The code I'm using is:

function makeVLC(theURL) {
var s='';
s = '<object id="VLCIE" classid="clsid:9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921" '
s = s + 'codebase="http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/video ... /axvlc.cab"'
s = s + 'version="VideoLAN.VLCPlugin.2" '
s = s + 'width="' + vidWidth + '" height="' + vidHeight + '" '
s = s + 'events="true"'
s = s + '>'
s = s + '<param name="src" value="' + theURL + '"/>'
s = s + '<param name="showDisplay" value="true" />'
s = s + '<param name="autoLoop" value="false"/>'
s = s + '<param name="autoPlay" value="true"/>'
s = s + '<embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" '
s = s + 'width="' + vidWidth + '" height="' + vidHeight + '" '
s = s + 'autoplay="no" loop="no" '
s = s + 'id="VLC" '
s = s + 'pluginspage="http://www.videolan.org" version="VideoLAN.VLCPlugin.2" '
s = s + 'target="' + theURL + '" '
s = s + '>'
s = s + '</embed>'
s = s + '</object>'
document.getElementById('divVideo').innerHTML = s;
}

I am having the exact same issue.
I have gone into options and changed the video output away from YUV. However, this has NOT solved the problem.
Has anyone found a solution?

I not sure how much help this could be for you. I had this problem and discovered that my loaded the javascript object and html code for the activeX into the DOM cause this to happen on IE9. By not "caching" the code as it were i was able to prevent this from happening. However since so many have this issue i am beginning to think that something might be causing it.

If you doing anything fancy with the your code, like caching. messing with the dom. that might help narrow down the problem.
