I have had great difficulty embedding VLC in HTML for use in either Firefox or Safari on Mac OSX, either Snow Leopard or Lion. I have tried the examples of the Wiki, both for the Version <= 0.8.5 API and the Version > 0.8.5.1 API, all without any luck at all.
I am using VLC 32/64 bits Intel Mac, 1.1.12, and Release 1.0.5 of the Web plugin for Intel Mac.
Could someone supply an elemental example that they know works? It would be very much appreciated.
I would very much like to demonstrate the quality of VLC.
Thanks.
A basic, working example, please

<object id="vlc" width="720px" height="540px" type="application/x-vlc-plugin" volume="50">
<param name="mrl" src="<video.file>" >
</object>
<input type="button" name="Play" onclick="vlc.playlist.play()" />
<input type="button" name="Pause" onclick="vlc.playlist.togglePause()" />
<input type="button" name="Stop" onclick="vlc.playlist.stop()" />
<input type="button" name="Fullscreen" onclick="vlc.playlist.toggleFullscreen()" />
Should look basically like that.

Re: A basic, working example, please
Thanks very much for the reply. Unfortunately, no luck.
Here is what I have:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>VLC Test Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<object id="vlc" width="720px" height="540px" type="application/x-vlc-plugin" volume="50">
<param name="mrl" src="http://192.168.1.4/~brianm/playerTest/TestMovie.mp4" />
</object>
<input type="button" name="Play" onclick="vlc.playlist.play()" />
<input type="button" name="Pause" onclick="vlc.playlist.togglePause()" />
<input type="button" name="Stop" onclick="vlc.playlist.stop()" />
<input type="button" name="Fullscreen" onclick="vlc.playlist.toggleFullscreen()" />
</body>
</html>
On Firefox, a blank page. On Safari, a blank for the player, followed by the four buttons. On Opera, a black background for the player spot, with "Waiting for video" in the center, followed by the four buttons.
Do you see something different?

I think you need to start your web browser in 32-bit mode, since VLC web plugin does not support 64-bit.
In Finder, Go to Applications folder, ctrl click on FireFox, select "show info", check box to open in 32-bit.

Re: A basic, working example, please
Thanks for the reply, but still no go. Do you actually have yours working? Does anyone actually have a Mac working with the plugin?
Re: A basic, working example, please
Yes..
VLC web plugin 1.0.5 and Firefox 7 in 32-bit mode on a MBP with Lion.
Works OK, but firefox crashes after closing the window with VLC embedded.
