EDIT: The new version has been uploaded now

I have been making some controls for the vlc plugin since it doesn't provide them. However that means we can skin the controls to be like youtubes. The new version is up!

To install the vlc plugin:
Linux:
remove other plugins
install mozilla-plugin-vlc

Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get remove totem-mozilla
sudo apt-get install mozilla-plugin-vlc

windows:
install vlc with the "Mozilla plugin" box checked

I have not tested this in other browsers so please report your findings/screenshots.
The UI has some small bugs, if you can reproduce some of them please post them.
Any comments/suggestions welcome.

Enjoy :D

Hi themiddleman,

tried your perfect script with Firefox 3.5.7 and VLC 1.0.4 on Mandriva Free 2010.0 and it all works flawlessly ! The controls are very fine.

Those controls are the best addition you could do, thanks for your work !

wow. you got not idea how badly i want those vlc buttons on embedded for my hobby home page. im not a programmer but ive spent days on the vlc sites and other forums trying to get those buttons to work on an html but i cant get them without doing what you just did (the programming stuff)
ive got xpsp3, 105 vlc ff3.7a2pre (beta)

Yeah, the greasemonkey script just grabs some files from this google code project I started which holds the main youtube controls script, it is gpl so you can use it for your site if you want, just download all the files from here:
http://code.google.com/p/vlcytplayer/downloads/...
and run something like this once the document is ready:
vlcyt = new VlcYtPlayer('path/to/video.mp4','htmlElementIdToWriteTo', false);
arg1 is the video url, then the element id to write the player to, then autopley true or false

I would also recommend uploading a .ogg and .mp4 of each video so you can support html5 video across browsers (except IE) too.

is anyone else still not able to get the controls? i can't even select hd 22, hi35, etc when i use the vlc option for this tool. what would be the problem?
