Here's what I want to do: Under Max OS X Preferably in Firefox, or otherwise in any other browser. Be able to click on an mpeg file that is residing on an ftp or http server and have it play at a decent size in my browser window directly - at the moment the QT Plugin Plays it at a very small size with no option of changing the size. Alternatively I would be happy if the file was automatically redirected to mplayer or vlc for full screen STRREAMING playback. I don't want to have to save and download the file - I want the file to start playing in full screen....or at least if its embedded in the browser such as with QT Plugin to be able to resize it. HELP. |

Inside of Firefox, there might be an option in preferences to change the media helper associated with Quicktime files to point to VLC instead. I looked online and it seems as if the Quicktime plugin restricts changing the size of the playback in the browser window to prevent HTML page rendering issues. I've seen the same thing happen with Windows Media files as well. Another option is to try control-clicking on the link for the mpeg file and have it open in a new window - probably won't work, but worth a shot. One final option is to control-click (right-click) on a saved .mov file, then click "Get Info". Then where it says "Open With:", choose VLC. Then (IMPORTANT) click on Change All... That might force the web browser to open the .mov file in VLC instead. Good luck! |
