Hi,
i am using the vlc 0.8.6d. I try to record and show a stream with the vlc-mozilla-plugin. Therefore i create a .m3u and add it to the playlist with:
vlc.playlist.add(url, null, options);
and start it with
vlc.playlist.playItem(..);

The srtream is shown in the Firefox, but the mpg-file is not created. When I start the .m3u with the normal vlc-player it only works when i start the player with the following argument:
-m3u-extvlcopt

Is it possible to start the plugin with this argument (registry-entry for example)?

thank you for helping

nobody an idea? Or another solution for recording?

I'm not sure that the plugin could ever write a file.
Wouldnt you be better to run VLC as a server application, which will encode and write the video to file, and use the plug-in to view the stream from the VLC server?
