Problem with resizing a VLC moz plugin

manjany · Postby **manjany** » 17 Feb 2005 19:17

Hi all,
I have some trouble when i resize my browser with this html example code.
What can i do to resolve this problem ?
I'm wondering if the size of the vlc drawing area was fixed at initialisation.

Thanks.

Code: Select all

<html><body>
<div style="position:absolute; left:0px; top:0px;z-index:1;">
	<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="Play" ONCLICK="document.video.play()">
	<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="Stop" ONCLICK="document.video.stop()">
</div>
<div id="videolayer" style="position:absolute; left:0px; top:0px;height:100%;width:100%">
  <embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" name="video" 
         autoplay="no" loop="no" 
         target="/home/manjany/movie.avi"
         style="position:relative; left: 25%; top:25%; height:50%; width:50%">
  </embed>
</div>
</body></html>

Your html/css code works

(in firefox 1.0 at least)

I tested the same code with firefox 1.0, I have the same result.
Is this an embed object resizing problem with mozilla & firefox under linux?
Under windows, it's works perfectly.

i tested under debian linux and i have no problem ... You could always try the height="" and width="" attributes to the embed tag.

I want dynamically change the size of the vlc plugin.
I'm sorry to insist with that, but can you try again with this code and tell me the result.
Start with "Play" and Increase the size with "Big". And see if the video fits the new size or stays in the same size.
It's the same problem when i replace the VLC embed object by a FLASH embed object.
That's the reason why i supose that it's a mozilla and firefox problem with EMBED, maybe only under Mandake

I dont have debian yet, i will install it this week-end.

Thanks so much.

Code: Select all

<body bgcolor="#D1D7DC">
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> 
function Small(){video.style.height="25%"; video.style.width="25%";}
function Normal(){video.style.height="50%"; video.style.width="50%";}
function Big(){video.style.height="75%"; video.style.width="75%";}
</script>
<div style="position:absolute; left:0px; top:0px;z-index:1;">
	<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="Play"     ONCLICK="document.video.play()">

FYI: In Fedora Core 3 and Firefox 1.0 the above code works perfectly for me, and resizes on the fly.
