The VideoLAN project targets multimedia streaming of MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and DivX files, DVDs, digital satellite channels, digital terrestial television channels and live videos on a high-bandwidth IPv4 or IPv6 network in unicast or multicast under many OSes. VideoLAN also features a cross-platform multimedia player, VLC, which can be used to read the stream from the network or display video read locally on the computer under all GNU/Linux flavours, all BSD flavours, Windows, Mac OS X, BeOS, Solaris, QNX, Familiar Linux. VideoLAN is free software, and is released under the GNU General Public License. It started as a student project at the French École Centrale Paris but is now a worldwide project with developers from 20 countries.

Thanks to thylacine for the update.

If you install it this program has a much better online video player than DivX Pro Web Player and its free and dont have all those errors that DivX does. You can just disable the plugin in Firefox when not using it.

Here is and addon that that let you turn your plugins on and off more easy when not using them for extra security

I usually use VLC portable, BUT:

Lately youtube has made some sort of change and now VLC portable often fails to play streams - either the audio or video fails.

Does the installed VLC differ in this aspect from the portable of it ??

Is this the DivX you are referring to ??:

Very, very cool extension:

Its description does not say whether it enables/disables them with or without restarting the browser though, so I guess I'll have to try it and find out ?!?

Thanks for the useful & helpful information in your post.

Yes the DivX Plus Web Player part of the package you can use VLC plugin instead you can play the same stuff it does with out all those errors that you get from it .

The addon will let you disable and enable witch ever plugins you want from the plugin section of Firefox .

To play YouTube you need GreaseMonkey and a user script called VLCTUBE I can watch Youtube with VLC with it.

And sorry there's no plugin support for portable versions its in the installer works best with x86 VLC on and x86 browser

Just actually installed VLC (as opposed to using the portable...) and tried streaming this video:

It has sound, but a black screen and no video.

I am finding VLC to be very disappointing lately.

Their forum is zero help - and the closest thing to any real help would be here:

http://vlchelper.com

-IF- they actually had any content posted to speak of.

There is no way I can find to update codecs for it either as it is supposed to be all-inclusive of them and I have their latest version.

Meh.

PS:

MPC streams the very same video just fine on my PC.

Go figure.

I still use VLC 2.14 x64 and this link works great!

Normal sound and video. So maybe only v2.15 (and only x86) is sh*t. :rolleyes:

If you install VLC plugin , grease-monkey and VLC Tube then it will play videos in Firefox It will give you a place to download video from youtube

and you can open them in VLC standalone with this addon

Thanks for the replies.

I prefer to use VLC directly and I do not view youtubes in my browser at all if I can avoid doing so.

The links I use come from update emails so I usually copy those links and SVPTube does the rest...

Problem is finding a YT tolerant media player - and I think I've tried about every one.

VLC -used- to be 100% great - but now it is kind of useless to me and there exists no way to add codecs to it, which is a shame.

smallhagrid, Just so you know, I streamed VLC using your youtube link above, and it works perfectly. I don't have any codecs added, just VLC.
