Impossible to have VLC plugin running (FF, Chrome)

Postby Lock » 27 Oct 2010 10:18

Hello,

I am trying to embed some video using VLC plugin.
I tried the following snippet:

Code: Select all

<html> <title>VLC Mozilla plugin test page</title> <body> <embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" pluginspage="http://www.videolan.org" version="VideoLAN.VLCPlugin.2" width="640" height="480" id="vlc"></embed> <script language="Javascript"> <!-- var vlc = document.getElementById("vlc"); var id = vlc.playlist.add("./bunny.mp4"); vlc.playlist.playItem(id); !--> </script> </body> </html>
But nothing displays :cry:
I also tried example on http://revolunet.github.com/VLCcontrols/, with the same non result.
(By the way, this page also crashes FF 3.6.11).

I run VLC 1.1.4, with proxy enabled on a Win XP machine and a Fedora machine. It displays the tests mp4 correctly.

Can you help me?

Thanks

Edit: I finally ran the plugin successfully in autodisplay mode after a full uninstall/reinstall of the plugin

I have installed VLC on my servers
apache2 on linux / ubuntu
and
lighttpd on linux / ubuntu
and both machines have VLC full install 1.0.5

I am unable to display any video to a webpage using this method

additionally I am unable to view any demos on the 33t.co.cc website
they all give me the error "playlist is empty"

there is the demo page

as well as the video clip on the main page of 33t.co.cc

Anything after vlc 1.0.6 has plugin issues.
