I am trying to stream video using the VLC webplugin. It works under Firefox/Chrome and I even use javascript to switch streams. This doesn't work under IE and ActiveX.
If I place a src file in the object tag for IE then I can start 1 stream but as soon as I try to play anything from the VLC playlist I create via javascript, no box for the stream even shows up in internet explorer. Below are some relevant code bits:
Javascript
Code: Select all
function WriteVLC() {
window.vlc = document.getElementById("vlcplayer");
// for netscape plugin
if (navigator.plugins && navigator.mimeTypes && navigator.mimeTypes.length) {
document.write('<embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" version="VideoLAN.VLCPlugin.2" pluginspage="http://www.videolan.org"');
document.writeln(' id="vlcplayer" width="640" height="480" toolbar="no">');
document.writeln('</embed>');
playList();
} else { // for IE ActiveX
document.write('<object classid="clsid:9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921"');
document.writeln(' id="vlcplayer2" width="640" height="480">');
//document.writeln('<param name="Src" value="" />');
document.writeln('<param name="AutoPlay" value="true" />');
document.writeln('<param name="ShowDisplay" value="True" />');
document.writeln('<param name="toolbar" value="False" />');
document.writeln('</object>');
playList();
}
}Code: Select all
