VLC web plugin - instructions

VLC web plugin - instructions

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.

  1. Install Firefox 32-bit (if you haven't already)
  2. Install the VLC - link
  3. After full installation, you will have a web plugin
  4. Open Firefox and load the link where the video that requires VLC is located - an example
  5. In the upper left corner, enable the VLC plugin for that site (see pictures)
Activate VLC web plugin

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.

Activate VLC web plugin

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.
