VLC Plugin Sync Issue

[samuels_sv]

I have created a web page that includes the VLC plugin (using source from the axvlc.cab link). The page was built using examples from revolunet. (Very helpful, by the way). And my page seems to be working quite well, except for one scenario. The page is configured with a list of available links down the left side. Some of these links are working, active streams and some are not, especially when I am testing. If the very first stream is not a working stream, the VLC plugin will never connect to another stream after that initial connect and play command. However, if I first connect to a working stream, then I can switch back and forth between streams, working and non-working without fail.

Any ideas on why the very first stream must be active?

And if a user happens to link to a non-working stream, in this way, is there a way to actively reset the VLC plugin without reloading the page?

All the streams are UDP multicast streams (such as "udp://@225.168.1.100:5000").

Most of my testing has been using Firefox, although I've seen this occur with Chrome and Safari. All testing has been done on my Windows laptop.

Thanks in advance.

If you can repeat this with VLC 1.0.0 nightlies, you should open trac ticket for this.
