The last 10 or so nightlies don't work at all because the libvlccore library is referenced wrongly.

From the console:

Code: Select all

23.09.14 20:36:57,328 PluginProcess[1545]: Error loading /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/VLC Plugin.plugin/Contents/MacOS/VLC-Plugin: dlopen(/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/VLC Plugin.plugin/Contents/MacOS/VLC-Plugin, 262): Library not loaded: /Users/videolan/slave/vlc-npapi-osx-ub/build/extras/macosx/vlc/x86_64-install/lib/libvlccore.8.dylib Referenced from: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/VLC Plugin.plugin/Contents/MacOS/VLC-Plugin Reason: image not found

That's why it didn't work out for me...

Do you guys know if you have to have installed Flash to make it work or it's a total alternative to Flash?

The VLC-webplugin nightly is still broken - as has been the case for the last 3 month.

This seems to be trivial to fix:

Code: Select all

Could anybody provide an updated link for a WORKING Web Plugin for Safari (2.1.0)? The original link is down.

Thanks

This plugin will not be available for the newest versions of Chrome in the very near future, because Chrome completely removed the technique used by our plugin. Instead, Chrome uses a new framework for plugins, which we are not using currently. Maybe we will adapt our code to this framework at some time, but I cannot give any promises here.

For all other browers, you can download the current test version here: http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/mac ... l/?C=M;O=D

How does this plugin actually work? Is it like a YouTube5 or ClickToPlugin replacement so you can uninstall flash and play all embedded videos in HTML5 but using VLC embedded media player?

I'm having some troubles enabling it...

Need to open dmg and drag and drop "VLC plugin.plugin" into "Internet Plug-Ins" folder, Mac will ask user credential for complete the installation.
