[vlc-devel] Mozilla Plugin - Making supported MIME types play

[James MacLean]

Hi Folks,

As mentioned before, it appears that Mozilla both pases the target URL to
VLC via the plugin and tries to download the URL then pass it to the VLC
plugin via it's cache (which fails). With something simple like the
following :

Then the plugin works here with Linux and Windows by clicking on URLs of 
supported types. Unfortunately it makes the default behaviour of the 
plugin to play the stream, although I expect that is likely what people 
would expect?

Is it not enough to have the target URL for VLC passed in NPP_SetWindow? 

If so then what is the right way to track if we are handling the URL? 
Possibly that is what p_plugin->b_stream is for?
