[Eugene Batogov]

Hello.
We are using VLC and VLC-plugin for Firefox in production environment.
In this message I  want to collect all troubles what we found in VLC plugin.
We try 1.0.5 and 1.1.9 versions.
--------------
1. VLC plugin (in any version) don't compatible with FireFox 4 (XUL-2.0).
    Firefox 4 go to crash for attempt  open URL what contains using VLC  plugin with error(at linux):
      NPP_Initialize on /usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins/libvlcplugin.so
    This problem repeats in linux and windows, it don't depend of platforms
    Workaround for linux proposes here:     http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=361263 
    Please, VLC developers, pay attention to this problem. It complicates life.
--------------
We are using Kasenna Mediabase for translate VOD throuh RTSP protocol. 
Our developer sent patch for VLC -1.0.5 in one year ago. 
Now we are several problems with VLC-plugin + VOD
-------------
2.  For VOD-assets don't update elapsed time. 
     Value for variable: VLCPlugin.input.time return 0 always.
    So it imposible show indicator of movie playback.
------------
3. Starting with versions 1.1.0 VLC plugin don't switch to fullscreen.
    Double click don't work  and invoke method   VLCPlugin.video.toggleFullscreen()
    don't work too.
------------
4. Don't correct  work method: VLCPlugin.playlist.togglePause().
    During show a  VOD-asset this method primarily send request RTSP PAUSE to  video server, and then 
    immediately send request RTSP TEARDOWN. So, it imposible resume play of VOD-asset.
-----------
Please, comment this problems.
