VLC Mozilla Plugin
 

In the past, I've used VLC's mozilla plugin to listen to Sirius Satellite radio and all has worked well and without having to tweak anything. After doing a fresh install (Kubuntu Edgy), the plugin no longer works. I get no error message, it just..... doesn't stream. I had to install MPlayer and use its plugin to be able to listen, when in the past, MPlayer didn't quite work right for me. What, they switched? *chuckles*

I really like VLC and hate having to install a whole other media player just to use it's mozilla plugin. I just about had every VLC related package installed trying to get it to work, but nada. Perhaps I'm missing a package I didn't realize I installed last time around?

I have installed:

vlc
vlc-nox
mozilla-plugin-vlc
vlc-plugin-alsa (just in case, even though it's a dummy package)

In the past, I believe these were all I needed. Was there an update snuck in the last few days that maybe broke something? I just don't get it, it worked last week.

Maybe you simply need to adjust the setting, like chose different codecs or so? (Settings > Preferences)

Well, I futzed about with various codec settings and whatnot, still nothing. I never had to configure anything to get it to run, in the past.. it just worked. Thanks for the suggestion, though. :)
