TonyMocha's questions

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?

I trying to embed vlc player in chrome to playback mp4 video, but with no success.

What I did:

1) Installed VLC player

• sudo apt-get install vlc.

2) Visit chrome://plugins, disabled VLC Multimedia Plug-in, enabled VLC Multimedia Plugin (compatible Totem 3.0.1).

• able to play ogg video but not mp4 video

3) Visit chrome://plugins, disabled VLC Multimedia Plugin (compatible Totem 3.0.1), enabled VLC Multimedia Plugin

• plugin not found

How do I get mp4 playback with VLC player for chrome, Firefox is running fine. Can someone give a clue on what's the different between these 2 plugins and why VLC Multimedia plugin without totem won't work on chrome?

I just setup ubuntu 11.10 on Dell XPS 15z by following the instruction from here:

Current status/known issues for DELL XPS 15z?

Everything seems ok until the point I failed to run openGL on chrome: http://get.webgl.org

This is the step I follow to setup the machine:

1) Add bumblebee ppa

2) install nvida-current from restricted drivers

3) install bumblebee (remember to "sudo usermod -a -G bumblebee YOURUSERNAME" as said by the bumblebee readme)

4) install mesa-utils

5) reboot

6) try intel card with terminal command "glxspheres"

7) try nvidia card with terminal command "optirun glxspheres"

While the step 7 is success, but step 6 was failed with following error message:

Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0".

When I run "glxinfo|grep OpenGL", it prompts

"Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0"."

This is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "Device"

    Identifier      "Default Device"

    Option  "NoLogo"        "True"

EndSection

I have turned on webgl support for chrome as well.

Fairly new to this, how could I fixed this?
