VLC Multimedia plugin 1.1.4 on Fedora

Postby valky » 22 Sep 2010 22:01

I have just installed VLC plugin 1.1.4 in Firefox on Fedora 13. The problem is that i cant play any embedded videos using this plugin. When I use VLC plugin 1.0.6 everything works fine. The plugin is correctly listed in about:plugins. Is this a bug? My code is:

Code: Select all

<OBJECT classid="clsid:9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921" codebase="http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/latest/win32/axvlc.cab#Version=0,8,6,0" width="480" height="360" id="vlc" events="True"> <param name="MRL" value="" /> <param name="ShowDisplay" value="True" /> <param name="AutoLoop" value="False" /> <param name="AutoPlay" value="False" /> <param name="Volume" value="50" /> <param name="StartTime" value="0" /> <EMBED pluginspage="http://www.videolan.org" type="application/x-vlc-plugin" progid="VideoLAN.VLCPlugin.2" loop="yes" width="480" height="360" name="vlc"> </EMBED> </OBJECT>

check this git
http://github.com/revolunet/VLCcontrols

inside the zip there is a folder called old, that is based on vlc 1.0.5

you can see a working player on my website, 33t.co.cc , if you have the vlc 1.0.5 installed you can just go directly to see the plug-in http://www.33t.co.cc/demo.html

How, actually, I have my script using the same as what you are using for vlc 1.0.5 .
However, when I install a new platform with fedora 13, vlc 1.1.4 and firefox 3.6.12. it didn't work.
I have tested the website with your demo.html but the display area turn to write and the javascript error said the playlist object is undefined.
I am frustrated as this script work on my fedora 9 + vlc 0.9.9 + firefox 3.5.*
Does anyone know how to make my fedora 13 + vlc 1.1.4 work with firefox? isn't it a version problem of security setting problem?
Please help.

vlc 1.1.4 has some disabled features for security, some things do not work on this vlc version 1.1.4 , the javascript code on my site is for vlc 1.0.5

im not experienced with fedora, but if its same like debian or ubuntu, linux mint, you need maybe to remove the following
sudo apt-get install mozilla-plugin-vlc

sudo apt-get remove totem-mozilla

sudo apt-get remove mplayer
mplayer, or totem plugin in Firefox can block the vlc plugin from being the default plugin so it doest show and just shows the border with a giant X on the left side

im really not sure, but this only works for win32bit operating systems

ask the #fedora on irc.freenode

sorry forgot to say " However, when I install a new platform with fedora 13, vlc 1.1.4 and firefox 3.6.12. it didn't work "

do not install vlc 1.1.4, install vlc 1.0.5 for fedora 13, i do not think they provide a older vlc package in the repos so i think you need to manually download and install the older vlc 1.0.5

" he display area turn to write and the javascript error said the playlist object is undefined. "

please chmod 777 all your js files, i had this problem before, if you did not chmod 777 the plugin sometimes will not work

Hi, I have "chmod 777" to all my js file and also the "libvlcplugin.so" under /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
The "object is undefined" is not find anymore. However, the screen still in blank when playing a with either the demo file or my local avi file (this avi can be played with the local vlc player 1.1.4 in fedora 13) .
the behavior is as follow:
1. the default vlc screen part is black in color .
2. when I click play the "standby" text change to "opening".
3. the black screen change to white. No javascript error is displayed.

Do you have any clue?

Thanks.
Michael

Hi,
Do you mean I need to download the original source and compile it?
As there are many dependency on the fedora. that's mean I need to trace all the dependency package and make it works for the version vlc 1.0.5?
I guess it may be easier if I fnd the fedora version which have vlc 1.0.5 , right? Do you think it works this way?

Thanks
Michael

Finally,
Find a way to remove all the VLC package for Fedora 13 and install a old one.
The current version for VLC close to 1.0.5 available on Fedora 13 is VLC 1.0.6.
After installed this VLC and its plugin. The plugin work at Firefox 3.6.12.
It seems that vlc 1.1.4 plugin really not workable for Firefox 1.6.12.
I just wonder if this problem will be fixed in the future or not.

vlc 1.0.6 seems to be working but anything more then 1.0.6 will not work on the javascript

with current vlc, nobody is going to fix it but the weird thing is they are working on a video editor ? pretty funny :lol:
