[Bug 179473] Re: Missing controls on Mozilla VLC plugin

[samjh]

I can confirm that this is still an issue with mozilla-plugin-vlc 9.4 in
Ubuntu Intrepid.

According to this mailing list thread, it seems that controls for the Mozilla plugin is yet to be written, or that a HTML page must explicitly include code to allow the Mozilla plugin to display appropriate controls:

In the meantime, you can use keyboard controls: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=535636
But beware that the plugin responds *very slowly* to the input.  Pausing a video takes a second or two.  Seeking forward/reverse can take more than several seconds, or even just freeze the screen and not respond at all.  I've given up on the Mozilla vlc plugin, and have resorted to just downloading the media to play it using the GUI vlc instead (there are some Firefox add-ons which allow this, like DownloadHelper).

Not a satisfactory situation, but I think this is a case of Do-It-
Yourself.
