It has been found that VLC has Java Plugin player for Mozilla and Firefox
Windows version.

it is now possible to view video in Browser itself but i am not able to find where to download it from please.

i am wating to try this out.

Is it possible to use this with IE, Opera.

copy the contents of vlc/mozilla to mozilla firefox/plugins

(in windows, the two files are npvlc.dll and vlcintf.xpt)

No, they don't work with IE.

How do i exactly setup this thing.

I am streaming a file(*.avi,*.wmv,*.mpg,*.dat,*.vob)
from VLC using httpstream - MpegTS - 127.0.0.1:1234

and i want this file to be opened in firefox browser using this plugin.

Thats all

i dont know if the playbutton is useful here because the VLC Server has
already started playing th file.

Code: Select all

use the .exe installer, it will ask you if you want to install the mozilla plugin as well.

And to tell if it's installed in Firefox, in the address area (where URLs go), just type
about:plugins
into the address space.

That opens a list of the registered plugins.

after trying about:plugins in URL it shows VLC plugin is intalled.

But still while opening the webpage it tells plugin not found
