Passing options in Mozilla plugin

Postby Spellcoder » 25 Jul 2006 12:55

In the ActiveX plugin you can pass options this way:

controlname.addTarget(uri as String, options, mode as VLCPlaylistMode, Position as Long)

In the Mozilla/Firefox/Safari plugin, the functions have different names, parameters:

controlname.add_item(mrl>)

As you can see there's no argument to pass the options. :cry: Is there any other way to pass the options in the Mozilla plugin?

this issue is being worked on for 0.8.6, both the ActiveX and Mozilla plugin will have the same APIs (the same as for ActiveX) as well as other new APIs to cover more features.
if they are suggestions for new APIs, please post them on

I don't know if it's already planned, but being able to set the http caching/buffering from the mozilla plugin would be nice...

Do you know when the new API might appear in svn?

Great to hear. I occasionally look at the VLC TRAC, so I saw mentions to the MediaControl API (http://developers.videolan.org/vlc/vlc/ ... ntrol.html).

I figured you ment to say 'please post them on the feature request forum.
So I posted one of my suggestions here: ActiveX / Mozilla plugin: getting the aspect ratio
