Installing vlc web plugin for chrome on mac

I want to install the vlc web plugin for chrome on my mac (Mountain Lion) . I could succesfully do it on Windows by just selecting web plugin at the time of vlc installation. However, on a mac I think the plugin comes as a seperate package. Can someone please tell me how to do it as I have failed after several tries

Until the stable version is released, you can install a recent nightly webplugin from http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/macosx-intel/?C=N;O=A.

It may have bugs, but it works for the few instances I've used it.

There is no compatible VLC browser plugin available on the Mac at this point. We re-wrote it over the cause of the last year and will re-release an entirely new version this spring along with VLC 2.2 for desktop platforms.
