I'm using mandriva 2006, i586 pc.
I start a video streaming using VLC wizard -> choose file -> http streaming....
after that i open firefox and type http://127.0.0.1:8080 but i can't get the video. what should i do to make it works? (I have install vlc plug in for irefox)

I follow web manual and did this

<html>
<head><title>Demo of VLC mozilla plugin</title></head>
<body>
<h1>Demo of VLC mozilla plugin - Example 2</h1>
<embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin"
name="video2"
autoplay="no" loop="no" hidden="yes"
target="http://127.0.0.1:8080" />
<br />
<a href="javascript:;" onclick='document.video2.play()'>Play video2</a>
<a href="javascript:;" onclick='document.video2.stop()'>Stop video2</a>
<a href="javascript:;" onclick='document.video2.fullscreen()'>Fullscreen</a>
</body>
</html>

but nothing happen.

in your browser location enter about:plugins and look for the VLC plugin. there are a few "hybrid" plugins like the VLC-google video and annodex vlc plugin that arn't the full thing.

If you don't see the plugin listed, check you installation.
if you do - remove the hidden="yes" from your embed tag, and add a height and width like width="400" height="300" and you should see the VLC cone logo if the player is loading.

that's in the html.
<embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin"
name="video2"
autoplay="no" loop="no" hidden="yes"
target="http://127.0.0.1:8080" />

did you do the about:plugins in your browser to see if the plugin was detected by firefox. you may need to copy some files to the firefox plugin folder. (npvlc.dll and vlcintf.xpt) from the vlc plugins folder.

# rpm -ql mozilla-plugin-vlc
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.5/components/vlcintf.xpt
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox-1.0.6/components/vlcintf.xpt
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libvlcplugin.so
/usr/share/doc/mozilla-plugin-vlc-0.8.2
/usr/share/doc/mozilla-plugin-vlc-0.8.2/README
