Mozilla Firefox - Configure Plugin to use Hardware Decoding - Lubuntu

Postby MikeSynx » 17 Nov 2016 12:21

OS: Lubuntu
Browser: Mozilla Firefox

Hi there,

Is it possible to configure the Mozilla VLC Plugin to use hardware decoding like it is possible in the desktop version as shown in the image below.

If so how would this be achieved as I can't find any mention of this being possible in the web plugin documentation. https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:WebPlugin/

I've attached my sample html page with examples of how it is implemented.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

An example of the html

Code: Select all

<html> <title>VLC Mozilla plugin test page</title> <style> body { background-color: black; } </style> <body> <embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" pluginspage="http://www.videolan.org" width="49%" height="49%" controls="false" allowfullscreen="false" target="rtsp://192.168.70.28/h264" id="vlc" /> <embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" pluginspage="http://www.videolan.org" width="49%" height="49%" controls="false" allowfullscreen="false" target="rtsp://192.168.70.28/h264" id="vlc1" /> <embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" pluginspage="http://www.videolan.org" width="49%" height="49%" controls="false" allowfullscreen="false" target="rtsp://192.168.70.28/h264" id="vlc2" /> <embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" pluginspage="http://www.videolan.org" width="49%" height="49%" controls="false" allowfullscreen="false" target="rtsp://192.168.70.28/h264" id="vlc3" /> </body> </html>

So far, it's not doable, without hacking it. We could do it, though...

Okay thanks for clarifying that. And if this is implemented in future... that would be ace.
