[vlc] VLC and Mozilla Plugin with SUSE 9.3 Linux

[Eisberg, Reinhard]

Hello,
 
 
I am a quite unexperienced Linux user.
Nevertheless I have set up a SUSE 9.3  Linux so far.
 
I seem to have (almost) successfully installed the VLC 0.8.1 client
(VLC-0.8.1-0.pm.9.i686.rpm package) after resolving all the package
dependencies.
 
When opening a network stream (udp unicast or multicast) I only can hear
the sound, but there is no video when using the video codec mp4v 
on the sender side.
I have opened the message window and I am getting permanently the
message:
 
Packetizer_mpeg4video warning: waiting for VOL
I have tried to use DIV3 on the sender side and everything is ok.
 
What is going wrong when receiving an mp4v encoded video ? 
Is there something missing or do I have to do some special configuration
?
 
And yet another question:
 
I have installed the packet vlc-0.8.1-0.pm.9.i686.rpm and
vlc-mozillaplugin-0.8.1-0.pm.9.i686.rpm 
provided by Quentin Denis on SUSE 9.3.
 
Vlc itself seems to work so far, however I cannot get it working with
the mozilla plugin neither with Mozilla itself nor with Firefox.
 
Both seem to be binary packages, therefore I guess there is nothing left
to compile - but to configure ?
 
After installation I have found 2 files: libvlcplugin.so in the
/opt/mozilla/lib/plugin folder and vlcintf.xpt in the
/opt/mozilla/lib/components folder.
The path is correct ?
 
What else has to be done ?
 
Thank you in advance
 
With best regards
Reinhard Eisberg
