The VideoLAN Forums

I'm trying to embed a stream (http://www.bloomberg.com/streams/video/LiveBTV200.asx) into a webpage
and its not showing anything. Yet when I use the above stream in the vlc player stand alone (desktop version where paste url into 'media' 'open network stream') it works.

This is the object I'm embedding:

<object classid="clsid:9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921" codebase="http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/video ... /axvlc.cab" width="400" height="300" id="vlc1" events="True">
<param name="Src" value="http://www.bloomberg.com/streams/video/LiveBTV200.asx" ></param>
<param name="ShowDisplay" value="True" ></param>
<param name="AutoLoop" value="no"></param>
<param name="AutoPlay" value="yes"></param>
<embed type="application/x-google-vlc-plugin" name="vlcfirefox" autoplay="yes" loop="no" width="400" height="300" target="http://www.bloomberg.com/streams/video/LiveBTV200.asx" ></embed>
</object>

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

This works for me.

I tried the HTML you suggested but didn't work for me in IE or Firefox. I've tried your HTML at the following URL:
