vlc 1.0.5 mozilla plugin built but not working

Hi all,

I want to use a compiled vlc mozilla plugin for a web-page. I have built vlc 1.0.5 code (alongwith plugin) and the standalone exe is able to come up. However when I embed the plugin in a web-page using <object> tag, its not working (e.g. not able to invoke plugin apis like vlc.playlist.add("test.avi"))

I have copied npvlc.dll from the build directory (/vlc-1.0.5/mozilla) to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins folder and its able to detect the plugin (verified using 'about:plugins'). Please help me in this regard.

Regards

Where'd you learn that code? I would use:

<object type="application/x-vlc-plugin" pluginspage="http://www.videolan.org"
version="VideoLAN.VLCPlugin.2" id="vlc" width="640px" height="480px" events="True" >
<param name="MRL" value="parasites.avi" />
<param name="volume" value="50" />
<param name="autoplay" value="false" />
<param name="loop" value="false" />
</object>
