Embedded vlc plugin on linux

Get Help Xibo Player for Linux
1

Hi, i have the message “vlc plugin missing” or “vlc plugin is not supported”. Plugin is installed in 32 bit version as vlc firefox is in 32 bit also. In windows I need to install edge player vlc and firefox in 32 bit version to run udp streaming. There is some how to or solution for linux? I have the latest docker cms
thank you.

Hi,

Please can you run the player up from a terminal (xibo-player) and paste the original error message you see?

Thanks,
Dan

Hello and thanks for the reply.
The error message is displayed in the player instead of the video, no errors from terminal.
I downgrade firefox to 52 esr and vlc plugin is always activated. There is a difference between 32 or 64 bit for the player, do they work the same way? player installed is in edge channel but i tried latest/stable with same result.

I see what you mean - you’re running an embedded widget which shows a video? The player doesn’t use firefox to show embedded widgets, we use a webkit gtk browser renderer. 32/64bit shouldn’t make any difference to us, but the browser doesn’t support plugins in either case.

Have you tried using the Local Video module with your UDP stream URL?

Yes i tried but if i set udp url such as udp://239.0.0.1:1234 or udp://@239.0.0.1:1234, linux player show the default layout and win player the “xibo open source digital signage”.

In windows player I can see video streaming with vlc embedded.

i run player from terminal, i can see that error:
