How to install VLC plugin in mozilla FireFox

[shikhardadhich]

Hi I am using Redhat Fedora 6.0 as my client OS with FF 2.* browser.

But I am not able to install VLC player plugin on it.

Does any one know how to install VLC plugin in Linux.

My code is as :
<object classid="clsid:E23FE9C6-778E-49D4-B537-38FCDE4887D8" codebase="http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/latest/win32/axvlc.cab"
width="100%" height="100%" id="video1" events="True">
<param name="Src" value="c:/Office.wmv" />
<param name="ShowDisplay" value="True" />
<param name="AutoLoop" value="True" />
<param name="AutoPlay" value="True" />
<embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin"
name="video1"
autoplay="no" loop="yes" width="10%" height="0%" border=1
target="c:/Office.wmv" /></object>


I have the source code "vlc-0.8.6b" and but when I execute the command :

"./configure --enable-mozilla --disable-mad --disable-wxwidgets --disable-skins2"

the error comes is: "configure: error: Please install the Mozilla development tools, mozilla-config was not found."

Help me ..

Is this the output from compile or yum


Have you tried the livna version ?

su -
rpm -i http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-6.rpm
yum install vlc mozilla-vlc

[shikhardadhich]

I had done this:
rpm -i http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-6.rpm
yum install vlc mozilla-vlc
But getting error as :
Error: Missing Dependency: vlc = 0.8.6a is needed by package vlc-plugin

I guess I have wrong version of VLC ?
