Hello,

On 07/08/05, I wrote:

XP pro SP1
IE 6.0
VLC 0.8.2-test3 Janus

Inside a html file with this code:

Code: Select all

<OBJECT id="vlc" classid="clsid:E23FE9C6-778E-49D4-B537-38FCDE4887D8" codebase="http://www.videolan.org/mirror.html?mirror=http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/videolan/&file=vlc/0.8.2/win32/vlc-0.8.2-win32.exe" type="application/x-vlc" width="255" height="250"> <param name="Src" value="Videos/MaisonBlanche_026.avi" /> <param name="ShowDisplay" value="True" /> <param name="Loop" value="True" /> <param name="AutoPlay" value="True" /> </OBJECT>
- IE displays VLC logo and the 4 buttons without error message, but the video does not run;
- with the WebExpert (6.03.0)'s internal reader (F12), it runs ...

Any idea?

thanks in advance
Eric

<param name="Src" value="Videos/MaisonBlanche_026.avi" />
this is a relative path, VLC will not be able to open it properly.

try an absolute URL, ie. http://myserver/mypath/Videos/MaisonBlanche_026.avi
