VLC Webplayer Failing in Firefox?

TaylorJ · Postby **TaylorJ** » 29 Jun 2008 06:57

I've never really had much luck with VLC before running through the browser, but I recently upgrade to Firefox 3 and thought, "Ok, maybe it'll work again." So I tried to set it up and it throws this error:

"R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information."

Also, I've noticed that it sometimes works in IE, but it needs to be manually started, regardless of the
<param name="AutoPlay" value="True" />

Any ideas?

FFx 3 issue. We don't know yet how to fix.

I'm running FF2 and I was getting that error all the time.
After researching it and turns out 90% of the time its a conflict with the windows meda player plugin.
Try disabling the plugin (I think its "about:plugins" in FF).
The easiest way to disable is to rename the dll starting with something other than "np". This will disable it (make sure FF is closed when you do this).

Hi,

first of all, I am using 0.8.6i, but the problem is exactly the same, so maybe the workaround I've found may help 0.9.2 users (hopefully me when I decide to upgrade). I am posting this in 0.8.6 posts too.

The situation where I got R6034 crash was when opening the window with the plugin and in the onload event I tried to start playing.

Solution:

<BODY onload="adjust2Window();sleepy(500); playit();" >

where adjust2Window is window resizing stuff, playit calls the "play" method in the plugin, and sleepy is:

function sleepy(naptime){
var sleeping = true;
var now = new Date();
var alarm;
var startingMSeconds = now.getTime();
while(sleeping){
alarm = new Date();
alarmMSeconds = alarm.getTime();
if(alarmMSeconds - startingMSeconds > naptime){
sleeping = false;
}
}
}

BTW, using the same approach I solved too a Firefox 3.0.4 Hang in XP (SP3) when closing the window while it is still playing ( I am posting this where I find the same problem in the forum)

<BODY onload="adjust2Window();sleepy(500); playit();" onunload="stopit();sleepy(500);" >

stopit calls the plugin stop method.

Regards
Enrique

I use the last VLC 0.9.8a for windows.

In Firefox I only can see one text: "Loading video..." And in Explorer I can not see nothing into the plugins TV.

I have 3.0.5 and Explorer 7.
