The VideoLAN Forums

I recently asked two persons to check some video test I made using the vlc plugin and while they did have installed VLC , none had installed (checked) FF Plugin/IE ActiveX when installing vlc

I agree with the way it is actually (unchecked by default) but then there should exist some fast way to re-install either/both as an afterthought , or when asked from a site

that is when I answered "just dl again the full installer and reinstall partially with Plug/ActiveX checked ..." , I realised it was a pain for them ; people will almost only accept some fast , simple and instant , Flash like 'blind' click and install but are quite reluctant to some new DL and careful check in boxes, options, etc..

any possibility for a dedicated app for this ?

Package the npvlc or axvlc yourself or help us to detect presence of the application.

unfortunately I can't help ...

the only point I can make is that if VLC 1.0 (and after) wants to get in web pages, it will need a straightforward and simple 'plugin' solution. it's not a matter to challenge Flash player fancy features but simply to offer all VLC audio/video decode power as a solid media player solution
