Do you have the VLC player installed?
L'impossibilité d'ouvrir vos url ne se situe pas au niveau de votre site youweb ; je vous invite à étudier les annexes et de voir http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/5610 ; l'absence du plugin dans l'énumération des plug-in de Firefox (3.4) est causé par un bug, ce qui veut dire que tout utilisateur de Mac dont le logiciel est à jour ne vous reçoit pas; je n'ai pas essayé W7.
The problem is with VLC: Firefox cannot find the required plug-in as a bug in the VLC update prevents its installation, see: http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/5610 Could the Firefox team put a request to VLC?
VLC.org The VLC plugin does not work on Firefox (Firefox 8) on Mac OS X. It is reproducible on any Mac OS X computer with newest Firefox. Editing the plugin's Info.plist corrects the bug. The XML, that needs to be added to Info.plist, looks like this: <key>WebPluginMIMETypes</key>
<dict>
<key>application/x-vlc-plugin</key>
<dict>
<key>WebPluginExtensions</key>
<array>
<string>mp4</string>
</array>
<key>WebPluginTypeDescription</key>
<string>VLC plugin</string>
</dict>
</dict>
<key>WebPluginName</key>
<string>VLC plugin</string>
With this added info to the .plist, the plugin works flawlessly. (It is needed to remove the plugin, restart firefox, add plugin, restart firefox.)
Tks cor-el,
yes vlc 1.1.12 is installed; Firefox 9.0.1; Mac OS X 10.7.3 Build 11D50 i inserted the above XML (without <remarks>) with Texteditor in plain text into applications>VLC(right click)>contents>info.plist; started Firefox, cut xml; restarted Firefox; pasted xml again & restarted Firefox: no result; when trying to install the vlc plugin in Firefox through Applications>tools>add-on menu>plugins(no VLC plugin!)>Install add-on from file>VLC(right click)>contents>info.plist>open i got the message: file corrupt.(the file comprised the xml) i could do with some help as i am unfamiliar to these procedures and a dummy in informatics; tks very much for yr comments.

I think this has to do with the VLC Plug-in 1.0.5-Intel: -When trying to open http://www.youweb.tv/fr/television/entertainment/tf1 (the official site is denying access as i am not in France) i am advised that the apparent absence of the VLC plugin causes the browser not to open this url; the vlc-plugin-1.0.5-intel is installed but is absent in Firefox>Tools>Add-ons>Plugins. -When selecting in Firefox>Tools>Add-ons>Plugins>Install Add-on from file>HD>Library>Internet Plug-Ins>VLC Plugin.plugin> a popup advises: "This add-on could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt", (with or without Info.plist modified as per http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/5610 ). -It seems to me that this is a VLC plug-in, as is "clear" from the ticket mentioned above, but from vlan>forum no reaction/solution sofar; -Did you get any further?
