The VideoLAN Forums

I'm working on a webpage where users will select a training video to watch from the browser. The video needs to open in vlc, play full screen, then close vlc when finished. I can do this in my command line with the following: vlc --fullscreen "filepath" "vlc://quit". However, I'm not sure how to make this work on the page.

VLC is installed on the machines the users will be on.

It's up to the browser what applications to start and when. You should not be able to control this from a web page, if only for security reasons.

In other words, you need to tweak the browser configuration to run the correct command line.
