Hi,
I want to watch flash videos (e.g. youtube) in vlc instead of the embedded flash player in iceweasel. For that purpose I installed the browser-plugin-vlc which I thought is meant for that. In Preferences -> Applications all media files and of course the flash stuff is assigned to the VLC-Plugin. But still all content is played in the embedded player within the browser. What am I doing wrong? Is there anything else I have to do? (Iceweasel restart and system restart did not help).
Iceweasel-Version: 14.0.1-2
Plugin-Version: 2.0.0-1
Any help is appreciated.
Regards
You might able to watch youtube without flash
- using html5 (option of youtube site)
- having installed minitube-1.8 (not yet in debian)
vlc can show multimedia streams but not flash scripts itself.
Hi ralul and thanks for your answer.
Youtube was just an example. I am aware of the html5 possibility. But there are sites which do not have the possibility. There flash is a must. And it is possible to watch the streams in VLC. If you use Downloadhelper (Iceweasel Addon) to get the URL of a file you can directly watch it. Maybe I misunderstood the purpose of the browser-plugin but I thought it is exactly for that: playing embedded videos in an external player.

playing html embedded videos, not flash embedded!
If flash scripting is used to calculate the effective stream uri, how do you expect vlc to do just that
:) :(
Ok, that sounds reasonable ;)
But still there has to be a way to play flash videos directly in vlc ... no?
