Indeed, same problem over here.

Sorry, it would have been more appropiate if I replied to this thread, instead of over here viewtopic.php?f=16&t=49871#p160907

Anyway there seems to be a problem in selecting the right access module.

If the you can use non-http access to your video, you should try (file:// or ftp://, etc). The bug seems to be focused on http candidate selection from mozilla-plugin.
You can trac the bug here: https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/2062.

But plugin works if I use vlc nightly builds. So I guess the problem not the code itself but the way release built for windows

I send the video by VLC 0.8.6. I use this code for see VLC video in my Firefox or Explorer.

<OBJECT classid="clsid:E23FE9C6-778E-49D4-B537-38FCDE4887D8" codebase="http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/video ... /axvlc.cab"
id="VLC" width="640" height="480" events="False">
<param name="Src" value="udp:@224.2.228.18:45622" />
<param name="ShowDisplay" value="True" />
<param name="AutoLoop" value="False" />
<param name="AutoPlay" value="TRUE" />
</OBJECT><![endif]-->
<![if !IE]>
<embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" name="webcam" autoplay="no"
loop="no" width="640" height="480"
target="udp:@224.2.228.18:45622" /><![endif]>

<br/>
<br/></td></tr></table><![if !IE]>
<script> document.webcam.play(); </script><![endif]>

This always goes well but with the version vlc 0.9.2 or the last 0.9.8 (04/12/08) of http://nightlies.videolan.org in the computer that receive the video stream:

- In explorer I not recive the video and in FirefoxI see an error and I not see the video to.

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program c:\Archivos de programas\Mozila Firefox\firefox.exe

Hi,

first of all, I am using 0.8.6i, but the problem is exactly the same, so maybe the workaround I've found may help 0.9.2 users (hopefully me when I decide to upgrade). I am posting this in 0.8.6 posts too.

The situation where I got R6034 crash was when opening the window with the plugin and in the onload event I tried to start playing.

Solution:

<BODY onload="adjust2Window();sleepy(500); playit();" >

where adjust2Window is window resizing stuff, playit calls the "play" method in the plugin, and sleepy is:

function sleepy(naptime){
var sleeping = true;
var now = new Date();
var alarm;
var startingMSeconds = now.getTime();
while(sleeping){
alarm = new Date();
alarmMSeconds = alarm.getTime();
if(alarmMSeconds - startingMSeconds > naptime){
sleeping = false;
}
}
}


BTW, using the same approach I solved too a Firefox 3.0.4 Hang in XP (SP3) when closing the window while it is still playing ( I am posting this where I find the same problem in the forum)

<BODY onload="adjust2Window();sleepy(500); playit();" onunload="stopit();sleepy(500);" >

stopit calls the plugin stop method.

Regards
Enrique
