== Embedding the VLC plugin in your webpage  ==

The VLC plugin can be directly embedded in your webpage : 

 <embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" name="player" autoplay="no" loop="no" target="udp:@239.255.12.42" />

You then have to use the official Mozilla/ActiveX api documented here : http://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:WebPlugin


But, if you need '''controls''' (buttons, slidebar...), you have to use the '''open source revolunet VLCcontrols''' library.

* the code resides @github : https://github.com/revolunet/VLCcontrols
* you have some demo here : http://revolunet.github.com/VLCcontrols

Usage exemple : 

    <!-- include jquery + source -->
    <script language="javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script> 
    <script language="javascript" src="http://revolunet.github.com/VLCcontrols/src/jquery-vlc.js"></script> 
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://revolunet.github.com/VLCcontrols/src/styles.css" /> 
    <!-- embed the player and play a file -->
    <script language="javascript">
        var player = VLCobject.embedPlayer('vlc1', 400, 300);
        player.play('http://download.blender.org/peach/bigbuckbunny_movies/big_buck_bunny_480p_surround-fix.avi');
    </script>

Note the fullscreen is currently broken in VLC plugin itself (VLC>1.1)
