Streaming plugins not working with Mozilla??

Postby emarkay » 16 Aug 2005 04:04

Have win98SE, Pentium 350mHz, 128M RAM

Mozilla shows:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.11) Gecko/20050728
and:
VLC multimedia plugin

File name: npvlc.dll
VLC multimedia plugin Version "0.8.2"

VideoLAN WWW: http://www.videolan.org/

MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled
audio/mpeg MPEG audio mp2,mp3,mpga,mpega Yes
audio/x-mpeg MPEG audio mp2,mp3,mpga,mpega Yes
video/mpeg MPEG video mpg,mpeg,mpe Yes
video/x-mpeg MPEG video mpg,mpeg,mpe Yes
video/mpeg-sts MPEG video mpg,mpeg,vob Yes

Yet when I go here:
http://vthr.videolan.org/~dionoea/vlc-plugin-demo/

to test the streaming capabilities of VideoLAN, neither the Mozilla or Firefox plugin OR the Activex one works.
Any suggestions?

do you have Mozilla and Firefox browsers installed?

and if so, then to where did you initially copy the vlc plugin?

E:\Program Files\mozilla.org
and
E:\Program Files\VideoLAN
with Mozilla cache files at
E:\Mozcache

Why does that matter?

do you have both the Mozilla and Firefox browsers installed?

did you install the plugin using the vlc installer?(or by manually copying the plugin files)

it matters because I'm trying to help troubleshoot the situation.. you say the plugin does not work. ;)

No, only Mozilla 1.7.11 only.

I used whatever is the default installation except for specifing the "E:" drive. Doesn't it look for, and add the .dll's to the appropriate directories automatically?

No problem, I appreciate your efforts. What more information can I provide to assist?
