Cannot find VLC web plugin while compiling VLC 2.0 from source

  • 772

I compiled VLC 2.0.0 on Ubuntu 11.10 successfully, however I couldn't find the VLC Web Plugin for playback of video from HTML.

In referring to http://www.videolan.org/doc/vlc-user-guide/en/ch07.html

I configured, compiled and installed VLC with the following commands:

./configure --enable-mozilla
make
su
Password:  [Root Password]
make install

I downloaded the VLC source code from here http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-sources.html.

So, the question is, where is VLC web plugin in VLC 2.0?

vlc

    It has been split off from vlc & you'll have to build separately. Atm not sure where you'll get tarballs other than from debian or launchpad, Example - https://launchpad.net/npapi-vlc

    For the latest git, After downloading cd to source & run ./autogen.sh

    git clone git://git.videolan.org/npapi-vlc.git

    git shortlog page has snapshots if you don't want the latest, info on commits, ect http://git.videolan.org/?p=npapi-vlc.git
