Is it possible, to change or remove the white waiting text "waiting for video"?

I´m looking forward to use the mozilla plugin in a kiosk-type environment, so there shouldn´t be displayed any waiting-text.

It would be very helpful for me, if someone has a hint.

this is quite simple. disable vlc plug in

At least on development tree, you will be able to use "text" argument (iirc) on embed HTML object. It will look like this: Waiting this feature to be released, you have not so many option but to compile your own VLC or hide the embed VLC when not playing.

you can desable it from the setting

I have stumbled upon this issue and wondering if anyone has found a solution to this? I have checked all through the settings and found nothing, and the text= trick doesn't seem to affect it at all. Any ideas aside from recompiling?

Download the lastest nightly build:

The 'text' tag trick works perfect!
