MxPEG using the VLC web plugin?

xqdev · Postby **xqdev** » 22 Apr 2015 10:14

Hey community!

I have a little question regarding the VLC web plugin. I know the VLC player itself supports the MxPEG format, but what about the web plugin? While the VLC player plays MxPEG fine, I was unable to do the same thing using the web plugin. (My web plugin example was as basic as possible):

Code: Select all

<html>
  <body>
    <embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" target="M00001.jpg"></embed>
  </body>
</html>

To play the MxPEG video in the desktop application, I need to provide the following parameter: --avformat-format=mxg

Is it necessary to provide additional parameters to the web plugin? Or is there another way to handle the MxPEG format?

Best regards!

You could use WebChimera Plugin, ":avformat-format=mxg" is supported there as argument of .playlist.addWithOptions

And as I know this option is not supported by original Vlc Web Plugins. You could read following related discussion: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=115075

Wow, the Web Chimera plugin works and even looks fine. Thanks for your response. Much better than changing the VLC web plugin code and recompile it. :S

This is a huge security issue.
