VLC plugin javascript wrapper

VLCcontrols is a Jquery class that embeds and controls VLC in your webpage.

NB: DEPRECATED, LAST UPDATE : OCT, 2010

Detection and embedding is based on swfobject

recent VLC >= 1.0 new security restrictions disable lots of plugin functionnality (output). now need some serious rewrite so moved to github !

28/06/2010 : just dropped a new jQuery class that works better and with new VLC versions. see jquery.html

Examples :

• The example are on GitHub pages : http://revolunet.github.com/VLCcontrols

API :

// create a  player in div '#vlc1'
var player = VLCobject.embedPlayer('vlc1', 400, 300, true);
player.play('http://download.blender.org/peach/bigbuckbunny_movies/big_buck_bunny_480p_surround-fix.avi');

// set a [VLC option][2]
player.options.set("start-time", 50); 
// reset all VLC options
player.options.clear(); 
// start playing uri
player.play(uri); 
// stop playing
player.stop();
