Hi All,

	I have limited success with using the VLC plugins to play nice on the
browsers. I've setup the page as follows :


================
<body>
<h1> My Sites Heading</h1>
<h2> VLC Mozilla video streaming </h2>
<embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin"
             name="video1"
             autoplay="yes" loop="yes" width="500" height="400"
             target="rtsp://192.168.10.100:5554/test" />
<br/>
    <a href="javascript:;" onclick='document.video1.play()'>Play
video1</a>
    <a href="javascript:;" onclick='document.video1.pause()'>Pause 
video1</a>
    <a href="javascript:;" onclick='document.video1.stop()'>Stop
video1</a>
    <a href="javascript:;" 
onclick='document.video1.fullscreen()'>Fullscreen</a>
</body>
</html>

============

The stream works, to an extent. 

Issues :

1. Plugin will only work under Mozilla Browser and not Firefox Browser.
2. Very High CPU usage when playing the stream. (100%)
3. Upon stoping the stream, the whole browser window shuts off!

Does anyone know if the nsplugins will work under firefox? Are there
specific things which I need to do to enabled it? What about the high
CPU usage?

Thanks for any help in advance.
