[mrbrownee70]

THIS POST IS FOR TESTING THE VLC WEB PLAYER!

i need testers to give me some feed back on how it works for you?

what kind of bugs you encounter?

i will be testing various file formats?



download the vlc player here>>> VLC 0.8.6e

if you use mozilla/firefox remember to check the mozilla plugin on install?
if you use internet explorer remember to check the active x plugin on install?

even though i have the latest vlc player i get a message on the screen saying "no plug in available to display this content. but i am using chrome right now, but i tried to use firefox as well and i get the message "plug in required to display content". so now what?

[mrbrownee70]

in the first post it explains what vlc version is needed and also what to check during install? updated 1st post with vlc 0.8.6e link.

Link tested.... The Air I Breath (2007)

I get this error after entering the captcha....

Then after clicking "ok" on the error message it takes me to the player which says "no video" clicking play gives me this error....

Note:
I have no problems with either megascript for the divx player.

[mrbrownee70]

i got that error also, click on "CLICK ME TO WATCH VIDEO" and it should play.

[SEB]

Closed and restarted firefox....

Second link tested: Babel.

No error at all this time around....

Hurray.

[SEB]

Okay, so it's streaming mkv fine, what about other files?

i thought i had done the full install of vlc last time i upgraded but i guess i must have blurred past it, thanks. it works now.

I just installed the latest version of VLC (0.9.8a) a couple days ago, so I thought I'd try them with it to see if it worked.
Apocolypto and Clubbed: the slider goes to the end and screen just saying 'Video loading...'
Babel and Night Train: both gave error message 'no suitable demux module found for [insert download link]'
Weird stuff, was hoping it would work for all as long as it was 0.8.6e or newer, but I guess not.

The Air I Breathe works fine though (IMG:http://static.quicksilverscreen.com/ipb/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

"the air i breath worked with (o.9.8a)" or with (0.8.6e)

"the air i breath worked with (o.9.8a)" or with (0.8.6e)

with 0.9.8a, it's all I have installed at the moment

[greeniz]

OK, so I uninstalled the newer version and re-installed 0.8.6i (I still had that installer on my computer)
All videos work, including the mpg files. With the mpg I initially got an error message saying 'no suitable access module...' but I closed the error message and clicked the 'Click Me Watch Video' button and it started playing.

[mrbrownee70]

i'm not sure why the web player only works with (0.8.6...) i think they just stopped paying attention to the web player at that point?

[d4reel]

I tested all files and got all MKV videos to work fullscreen worked the AR worked but when I hit stop and then tried to play the file again I got an error saying no file to play
The mpg files would play for a second and then stop
the wmv file worked just fine
I was use using IE 8 & FF 3 IE tab could not get it to work just in ff OS windows 7
