View VLC embedded on webpage without downloading VLC?

Here is what I've done so far:
Webpage has the plugin embedded and plays nicely from my streaming computer.
My question though is if there is a way so that the client side can visit my site and view the stream without having to download VLC. I was thinking that I could have the client plugin linked so the client computer can download the needed browser plugin and view the stream. Heres the embed code I'm currently using:
<embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" pluginspage="http://www.videolan.org" version="VideoLAN.VLCPlugin.2" id="vlc" height="400" width="700">
<script>
var vlc = document.getElementById("vlc");
vlc.playlist.add("http://192.168.1.100:8080/stream", "live",
":network-caching=150");
vlc.playlist.play();
</script>
I've read on one forum about possibly compiling the plugins but some directions would be nice.
Thank you all in advance.

I am also working on a project to create plugin for different browsers to view the live rtsp streaming without installing VLC. Do you have any clue on that?

At this moment, I know that the plugins folder in VLC install folder and libvlc.dll, libvlccore.dll, npvlc.dll are mandatory for decode and display live RTSP stream in web browsers. You just copy those folders and files into your web browsers plugins folder (if it doesn't exist, create this folder manually). But still need a decent way to create those folder and files

I went a different direction due to client issues. It's hard to get people to install anything outside of adobe flash. Although I plan to use VLC as soon as 1) VLC can stream in rtmp to red5 server in "dummy format" (I've read that its possible but I couldn't make it work) and 2) when I finish the 1 million other projects Im doing and develop the mobile application for android. As of late I've only been using VLC for editing and playing the videos.
Happy hunting slowforce, and let me know if you come up with anything.
