Videolan plugin don't want to install !

[ashanta]

Hi,

I don't know what's happening but I can't install VLC plugin on CB.

I installed the full VLC app. on my laptop with Mozilla plugin checked but it doesn't appear on the "plugin" CB list .

How to do it, please ?

They've never heard of CometBird, so the automatic install won't work. You'll have to do it manually.

Which files are they talking ? I've already installed VLC.

Where to find these zip file ?

Let me know thanks .

This really is very simple, just follow these instructions, except substitute "cometbirds" folder that you copy the files to.

1. Quit Firefox or Mozilla

2. Copy the two files in VLC_Installation_folder\mozilla (usually C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\mozilla) to your mozilla plugins directory (Usually C:\Program Files\Mozilla\plugins or C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins).

3. Restart Firefox or Mozilla

As you can see it tells you exactly where to go to find the files, assuming you used default location when installing. If you want to know the name of the files, just open the folder and look.

Also note that on 64bit window versions the "program files" folder will be "program files(x86)".

The point is that I don't have such Mozilla folder on that location, that's why I asked you which are both files to make a search on my computer.

Let me know, thanks in advance.

If the folders are not where Videolan says they're supposed to be, then the issue needs to be taken up with Videolan.
