Often an online stream or video requires a VLC web plugin, but sometimes it is not so easy to activate it. This article provides instructions on how to download, install, and activate the add-on.
First of all, Chrome no longer supports the VLC plugin, ie. all NPAPI plugins, so you have to use another web browser, and Firefox is the best solution.
- Install Firefox 32-bit (if you haven't already)
- Install the VLC - link
- After full installation, you will have a web plugin
- Open Firefox and load the link where the video that requires VLC is located - an example
- In the upper left corner, enable the VLC plugin for that site (see pictures)
If there is an error, open the about: addons page in the new tab and check if there is a VLC web plugin there and if it is enabled.
If you do not have a VLC web plugin listed, download the full version of VLC and install it again - link.
Note: both VLC and Firefox must be 32-bit versions. Also, try restarting your computer if it doesn't work right away.
