multiple VLC player in one page

[alex.stienstra]

Hi,

I have a webapplication which features a grid of 4 or more VLC players. Sometimes it works, but mostly it crashed the browser (both FF and IE). With only one player in place it works perfectly but as soon as I dynamically insert more VLC players it crashes the browser. But sometimes (specially in IE) it does not crash and works as expected. Is this a know problem? Is there a workaround to overcome this problem?

Thanks in advance, greetings.

Alex Stienstra.

It is a known problem, but it isn't fixed.

does anyone know if this is likely to be fixed in future versions and went that might be because that bug annoys me too!?

[alex.stienstra]

I realised that a possible workaround could be a VLC mosaic. Combine several streams as one stream on the server and present this stream in one VLC player in the browser.

Well, this will be fixed in the future.

please all update your plugins to 0.9.8+, it now works like a charm... even multiple instances...

[Beardless2]

are you sure? im still having problems with multiple instances. Creating them and destroying them is fine (as long as you dont play any video), but as soon as i set them all off playing video only one plays, and then the app freezes.

What kind of browser are you using? I've tried in Firfox 3 and IE6 and it doesn't work nady ideas?

[revolunet]

did you check VLC plugins during VLC install ?

[jrusi]

Yes, I've also tried to reinstall it and still nothing... It looks like it's playin all the movies in one player mixed toegether with some green noise.

Maby you can give me some advice what kind of operating system you are using and what browser, because I've tried Firefox, IE6, Opera on win2k and it doesn't work I realy need to make it running so I'm ready to change the operating system, hardware everything that will make it work

Is the version 0.9.6b the same as 0.9.6+?
I've checked on Kubuntu and it works great Thanks for help.
