VLC 0.8.6e
Firefox 3.0
Problem occurs in both WinXP Pro SP2 and Kubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron

Recently, when I install VLC and it's Firefox plugin, I cannot view media from certain pages. Specifically, Apple Trailers. I remember last year I could view the page even with the VLC plugin in FF. Every time I try to view a page with media in it, I get a black box that says (no video). I remember a while back when I would install VLC with the Mozilla plugin, I could view media from various web pages, but this was in Windows with, most certainly, a slew of other plugins that I never bothered to check.

I had this problem in my Windows XP machine before it died, and I hastily scrambled a working Kubuntu (first time). I have FF and VLC, but I can't get media in FF work. I've tried searching for additional plugins in the App manager and run an apt-get in the console:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-esd mozilla-plugin-vlc

but this problem still persists. A couple days ago I tried to install some mesh player, but I got a security warning from the console, which is probably a good thing that I got a warning.

My objective is just get Apple trailers (and other sites that aren't coming to mind) to work in FF3.0 in Kubuntu 8.04 HH.

do you know you need to use javascript to interact with the plugin ?

theres an official API here : http://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation: ... d_above.29

and a lib i created to add some controls : http://code.revolunet.com/VLCcontrols

I don't think he is working for Apple so as a user point of view, I don't think it does help

I have the VLC working! I configure the Open Capture Device, when I said what is the webcam.

You can see the customize:

dshow:// :dshow-vdev="Logitech QuickCam Messenger" :dshow-adev="Logitech Microphone (Messenger)" :dshow-size="" :dshow-caching=200 :dshow-chroma="" :dshow-fps=0.000000 :dshow-config :no-dshow-tuner :dshow-tuner-channel=0 :dshow-tuner-country=0 :dshow-tuner-input=0 :dshow-video-input=-1 :dshow-audio-input=-1 :dshow-video-output=-1 :dshow-audio-output=-1

Next, I have a local web when the VLC.html page as the following code:

<html>
<title>VLC Mozilla plugin test page</title>
<body>
<embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" pluginspage="http://www.videolan.org" version="VideoLAN.VLCPlugin.2"
width="640"
height="480"
id="vlc">
</embed>
<script language="Javascript">

</script>
</body>
</html>

When in Firefox ou IE I open the http://127.0.0.1/VLC.htm, i don't see anything (in firefox I have a black square with the text (no video))!
