how to install the missing browser-plugin?

Postby edwart » 17 Mar 2009 23:16

Hi,

the installation of VLC is a very interesting point.
i am creating a website with an embedded VLC-Player.
The standard VLC-installation will not install the Browser-Plugins. So it is often possible that a VLC is installed on the system without the browser-plugin and my site is not working.

My question is now:
How can i provide to download and install the browser-Plugin on my page on a easy way for the user (not to download the whole player again)?

Thank you
Best regards
Edwart

Well, you should repackage VLC :)
