Yet when I go here:
http://vthr.videolan.org/~dionoea/vlc-plugin-demo/

to test the streaming capabilities of VideoLAN, neither the Mozilla or Firefox plugin OR the Activex one works.
Any suggestions?

do you have Mozilla and Firefox browsers installed?

and if so, then to where did you initially copy the vlc plugin?

E:\Program Files\mozilla.org
and
E:\Program Files\VideoLAN
with Mozilla cache files at
E:\Mozcache

Why does that matter?

do you have both the Mozilla and Firefox browsers installed?

did you install the plugin using the vlc installer?(or by manually copying the plugin files)

it matters because I'm trying to help troubleshoot the situation.. you say the plugin does not work.

No, only Mozilla 1.7.11 only.

I used whatever is the default installation except for specifing the "E:" drive. Doesn't it look for, and add the .dll's to the appropriate directories automatically?

No problem, I appreciate your efforts. What more information can I provide to assist?
