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
Install our software extension "Open with VLC Media Player" Once you install our software, please refresh all your existing Chrome Tabs/close Chrome browser and restart Chrome browser to let the extension load. Choose the video file you wish to watch with VLC Media Player via the right click context menu button.
VLC for Chrome OS can play most video and audio files, as well as network streams and DVD ISOs, like the desktop version of VLC. VLC for Chrome OS is also a full audio player, with a complete database, an equalizer and filters, playing all weird audio formats.
The VLC media player webplugins are native browser plugins, similar to Flash or Silverlight plugins and allow playback inside the browser of all the videos that VLC media player can read.
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.
