[vlc] Darwin "playlist" through VLC mozilla plugin

[Cian Cullinan]

Sorry for the cross-post for any of you on the VLC-users list and the
Apple streaming-users list, but this applies to a combination of both.
What I would like to know is if anyone reading this has successfully
played a Darwin/Quicktime Streaming Server "playlist"* through the VLC
mozilla plugin.
When I try this, the stream plays from 5-60 seconds before
mozilla/firefox exits.
If I have debugging turned on, then the console shows the error message:

BasicTaskScheduler::SingleStep(): select() fails: Interrupted system call
(This comes from the live555.com libraries).

I have DSS running locally, create a file test.html containing the
<embed> tags for the VLC plugin with "target" pointing to
rtsp://localhost/cartoons.sdp (a collection of mp4 files), and start
mozilla like this:

$ mozilla file:///home/cian/tmp/test.html

What is strange is that playing this stream from the regular VLC
standalone player works perfectly, I.E.:

$ vlc rtsp://localhost/cartoons

So is anyone doing this successfully?

By the way, this is using the latest SVN code for VLC, ffmpeg, and the
most current tarball for the live555.com libraries on a Fedora Core 4
box.

* In DSS/QTSS this is a bunch of files that get played one after
another and are streamed as if they are live. So if you play the
stream, then stop and come back and play it again later, the movie
will have moved on, or there will be another movie playing. The same
as with regular TV.
