Package: mozilla-plugin-vlc Version: 0.8.6.h-1 User: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Usertag: debian-edu
When trying to play the embedded video available from <URL: http://www1.nrk.no/nett-tv/klipp/386768 > with the mozilla-plugin-vlc plugin, no video is started. This is partly because the plugin fail to detect any URL to play. This in turn is caused by the code looking for plugin arguments. The arguments on this page are mixed case, and the code in the plugin only look for lowercase strings. The arguments are named 'Url', 'Filename', 'AutoStart', etc. The plugin code in mozilla/vlcplugin.cpp have tests like this: !strcmp( argn[i], "filename") I believe these tests should be changed to use strcasecmp instead, ie like this: !strcasecmp( argn[i], "filename") Changing this in the plugin did not solve the problem with the test page mentioned above, but got the plugin a step closer as it start to complain about access problems instead of not trying to play anything. This test page work with the mplayer and kaffeine plugin, so it should be possible to get it working with vlc too. I've collected some browser multimedia test results on <URL:http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/BrowserMultimedia> in case you want to see how the vlc plugin compare to the alternatives in Debian.
