The VideoLAN Forums

On my iMac Intel Duo I tried to get the Mozilla plugin to work in Safari & Firefox. I tried playing some video files and DVD. The sound is allways ok, however I only get to see the video running when while resizing the browser window.
It looks like the 'no picture' picture is being drawn over the picture. What's also weird is that the 'no picture' text get drawn in different font-sizes while scrolling. (from very small to big)

Is this a known bug (maybe only under Intel Mac's) ?

Will there be a new version of the mac browser plugin at the same time as the VLC 0.8.6-test1 release?

Any chance it would have the new MediaControl API?


(For those who don't know how to get Safari/Firefox to work under Rosetta: rightclick on Safari or Firefox in the finder, select Get Info and put a check before 'Open using Rosetta')

Got some even more freaky results now. (still running Firefox under Rosetta using an iMac Intel Duo).

I've made a mapsystem in javascript, kind of like google maps.
In my experiment I dynamically generate an div over the map and load the html for my videoplayer in it. After scrolling the page a few times parts of the webpage and Firefox interface get frozen. Also some frames from the video get drawn on the top-left, partly over the Firefox navigation. Even when visiting another website or reloading a large part of the screen gets stuck.

I got screenshots of this effect:

the mozilla plugin has been improved dramatically in the development branch 0.8.6-svn, most of the problems you have mentioned have been fixed since 0.8.5.
and yes, I am also working on improving the script APIs
