The VideoLAN Forums

just wondering if anyone has the browser activex plugin working full screen in either of the above browsers?

I have a 600 * 480, window working but not full screen in firefox and in IE9 just a grey window. I have spent a few days looking through the forum and trying things all to no avail.

Any pointers or suggestions in the right direction will be greatly appreciated.

thanks

what version did you try?

Hi the plugin 1.1.11.0

thanks

first of all you need try latest nightly build (from http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win32/), since mozilla/activex plugins in 1.1.11 is too buggy...

Thanks I shall try that when I get home from work this evening!!!

I have installed the latest version from the latest version but this hasn't installed the firefox plugin. There doesn't appear to be a firefox plugin where the help section says it should be??

any ideas?
thanks

did you check mozilla plugin in installer options?

Yes reinstalled it again to double check. I don't have a mozilla folder as described in the wiki document. Am I doing something very silly?

what folder and what wiki are you talking about?

This is the wiki

http://wiki.videolan.org/Windows

Copy the two files in VLC_Installation_folder\mozilla (usually C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\mozilla) to your mozilla plugins directory (Usually C:\Program Files\Mozilla\plugins or C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins).

I can't see the mozilla folder inside Videolan on my c:

I have a funny feeling I missing something really basic, but I can't see what.

thanks

it's outdated documentation, you no need copy anything anyware. Installer will do all work for you. You just need select mozilla and ActiveX in installer options.

ah will stop trying to follow that then!!!

I will reinstall tonight double checking the mozilla and activex boxes. should i check any security settings in the browser before installing?

thanks

no, all must work "from the box"

I shall uninstall and reinstall this afternoon. I am right in thinking that the folder I download from is the one called "last"??

thanks

today's latest versions are:
http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win ... -win32.exe
and
http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win ... -win32.exe

Thanks that worked a treat!!!!!!!!!!!

My little test app played a film and changed to fullscreen and back again no problem!!!!!!

I noticed that a SDK folder with a full example webpage but I couldn't get it to play a file, does documentation exist for this example page.

Your help is very much appreciated!!!!!!!

thank you
