|
|
hi - Im running amd64 - after an update vlc doesnt work with firefox anymore.
Quote: | about:plugins
VLC Multimedia Plugin (compatible Totem 2.22.2)
File name: libtotem-cone-plugin.so
The Totem 2.22.2 plugin handles video and audio streams.
MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled
application/x-vlc-plugin unknown Yes
application/vlc unknown Yes
video/x-google-vlc-plugin unknown Yes
|
It uses totem although it is installed.
I have the USE flag "nsplugin" globally.
Is there a "howto use vlc with firefox" ?
Why doesnt it use vlc?
Thanks

Ok, I spent several hours reading - now I managed to emerge totem with -nsplugin useflag. That removed it. But emerging vlc with nsplugin doesnt install the vlc-plugin. I managed to emerge mplayerplugin but mplayer doesnt play the videos from www.zdf.de mediathek in colour. So Id really want my vlc-plugin back.
Can anyone give me support ?
Thanx |

So try mplayer -playlist http://wstreaming.zdf.de/zdf/56/090116_schloesser_dde.asx. Don't need vlc |

mplayer plugin is playing fine here. screenie (don't bother with the bad xv output, it is nvidia driver problem). I used "windows media player setting".

thanks alot for your replies.
I managed to get vlc working. I had to emerge firefox3. I was still runnning firefox2 and obviously the vlc-plugin doesnt work with firefox2 anymore.
the mplayer-plugin works ok - but I have a nvidia card and somehow the colors get mixed up and its not really nice to watch it with mplayer. |

Hm, how did you get it to work? In my case I just get black square and the message "Video is loading". No video is actually loaded and played. I also have amd64. Here my USE flags

about:plugins reports that vlc plugin is used and has no problems, but there's no video. I wanted to try it with opera, but opera does not pick up this plugin at all. |

No. It didn't work. I've made sure that I use the same USE keywords, but no luck. When I run firefox in terminal, here's what I get (in case someone is interested )
