I am developping a VOD server using VLC and I have installed the mozilla-vlc-plugin. It works very well using ipv4 but as soon as I use IPV6 for my network it doesnt work any more.
I followed the tutorial http://www.videolan.org/doc/vlc-user-guide/en/ch07.html :
<embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin"
name="video1"
autoplay="no"
loop="yes"
width="400"
height="300"
target="http://10.0.0.2/my_video.mpg" />
this worked well but changing the target to :
target="http://[2006:421:0:0
0:0:2]/my_video.mpg" did not work at all, I m having the blank player windows with "no picture". I tried to backslash the brackets and a few other tricks but nothing worked.
Anyone tested this plugin with IPv6 ?
Else if you have any other ideas how I could play the video in the client's browser (using ipv6), or lauch vlc in an external windows by clicking on a link (with the correct parameters so it can directly connect to the stream lauched on the server ) I would be very thankful !
Thanks in advance
