ActiveX VLC 2.04
Posted: 22 Oct 2012 21:22
Hi guys,
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
HTML
