Hello !!!
I am working on web-based project , on linux .Here I am using vlc mozilla web plugin, to play playlist . I would like to capture event ,once playlist is finished.I have gone through the documentation provided on following link http://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:WebPlugin

Code: Select all

//Embedding player
   <embed 	type="application/x-vlc-plugin"
			pluginspage="http://www.videolan.org"
			name="video1"
			autoplay="no" loop="yes" width="400" heigh t="300"
			id="vlc"/>
//Script Code
<script language="Javascript">
		//REGISTER EVENT	
                      function registerVLCEvent(event, handler) {
			    	if (vlc) {
        				if (vlc.attachEvent) {
            					 vlc.attachEvent (event, handler);
				        } else if (vlc.addEventListener) {
        					vlc.addEventListener (event, handler, true);
						alert("DOM level 2");
    					} else {
        					  vlc["on" + event] = handler;
						alert("DOM level 0");
    					}
				}
			}
             //HANDLE THE EVENT
		    function handleEvents(event) {
    				if (!event)
        				event = window.event; // IE
    				if (event.target) {
        				// Netscape based browser
        				targ = event.target;
				} else if (event.srcElement) {
    					// ActiveX
    					targ = event.srcElement;
				} else {
    					// No event object, just the value
    					alert("Event value" + event );
    					return;
				}

				if (targ.nodeType == 3) // defeat Safari bug
    					targ = targ.parentNode;
    					alert("Event " + event.type + " has fired from " + targ );

			}
              //Find the vlc object by id      
  			var vlc = document.getElementById("vlc");
         
 			var videopath = new Array();
			videopath[0] = "Ponyo.mov";
			videopath[1] = "mariot.flv";
           
           //Adding Playlist
			for (var i=0;i<videopath.length;i++)
			{
		 		var id = vlc.playlist.add(videopath[i]);
    		 		vlc.playlist.playItem(id);
			}

           //Calling event Event handler
    		registerVLCEvent('MediaPlayerEndReached', handleEvents);
          
          //play the playlist using vlc
    			vlc.playlist.play();
  </script>

So I have implemented the same in my application , event is getting fired on mozilla firefox browser on windows platform but the problem which I have faced is that same application when i am running on linux (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS , 32bit Operating System) event is not getting fired.
What I have observed,is that events are getting registered , but only the problem is that they are not getting fired.

So where I am going wrong ??? What I suppose to do so that it will run on mozilla firefox on ubuntu platform.???
Is there any dependency with the version of linux os ???
So I am requesting you if you please find any solution for above problem, please kindly guide me in this.

Waiting for your reply.
Many Thanks.
