Introduction: Building Web pages with Video

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.

Additionally to viewing video on all pages, you can build custom pages that will use the advanced features of the plugin, using JavaScript functions to control playback or extract information from the plugin.

There are 2 main plugins: one is ActiveX for IE, the other is NPAPI for the other browsers. They feature the same amount of features.

In older versions, those plugins were very crashy. We URGE YOU to use VLC 2.0.0 or newer versions.

Browsers support

It has been tested with:

It has been tested on GNU/Linux, Windows and MacOS.

In the most of browsers, the support for NPAPI plugins was dropped. Only in some forks of Firefox like Waterfox or Pale Moon, NPAPI plugins are still supported.

For this reason, the NPAPI plugin will be dropped in vlc version 4.

Embed tag attributes

To embed the plugin into a webpage, use the following <embed> template:

If you are using vlc version < 2.2.0 with Internet Explorer, use instead the following <object> template:

For the declaration of tag attributes, use the tag <param> . Here an example:

For compatibility with the mozilla plugin, you can combine both tags:

Required elements

These are required attributes for the <embed> tag:

• width : Specifies the width of the plugin.
• height : Specifies the height of the plugin.
• target (or one of these alias: mrl , filename , src ): Specifies the source location (URL) of the video to load.

Optional elements

These are additional attributes for the <embed> tag:

• autoplay , autostart : Specifies whether the plugin starts playing on load. Default: true
• allowfullscreen (or fullscreenEnabled , fullscreen ): (since VLC version 2.0.0) Specifies whether the user can switch into fullscreen mode. Default: true
• windowless : (since VLC version 2.0.6, only for Mozilla) Draw the video on a window-less (non-accelerated) surface and allow styling (CSS overlay, 3D transformations, and much more). Default: false
• mute : Specifies whether the audio volume is initially muted. Default: false
• volume : (since VLC version 2.2.2) Specifies the initial audio volume as a percentage. Default: 100
• loop , autoloop : Specifies whether the video loops on end. Default: false
• controls (or toolbar ): Specifies whether the controls are shown by default. Default: true
• bgcolor : Specifies the background color of the video player. Default: #000000
• text : (only for Mozilla on MacOS) Specifies a text displayed as long as no video is shown. Default: empty
• branding : (in vlc version < 2.2.2 only for Mozilla on MacOS) Specifies whether VLC branding should be displayed in the web plugin's drawing context. Default: true

Normal DOM elements

• id : DOM id
• name : DOM name

Javascript API description

The vlc plugin exports several objects that can be accessed for setting and getting information. When used improperly the API's will throw an exception that includes a string that explains what happened. For example when you set vlc.audio.track out of range.

VLC objects

The vlc plugin knows the following objects:

• audio : Access audio properties.
• input.title : Access title properties (available in vlc version ≥ 2.2.2, supported only ≥ 3.0.0)
• input.chapter : Access chapter properties (available in vlc version ≥ 2.2.2, supported only ≥ 3.0.0)
• playlist.items : Access playlist items properties.
• subtitle : Access subtitle properties.
• video.deinterlace : Access deinterlace properties.
• video.marquee : Access marquee video filter properties.
• video.logo : Access logo video filter properties.
• mediaDescription : Access media info properties (available in vlc version ≥ 2.0.2).

The following are deprecated:

• log : Access log properties (only available in vlc version ≤ 1.0.0-rc1).
• messages : Access to log message properties (only available in vlc version ≤ 1.0.0-rc1).
• iterator : Access to log iterator properties (only available in vlc version ≤ 1.0.0-rc1).
• message : Access to log message properties (only available in vlc version ≤ 1.0.0-rc1).

The following JavaScript code shows howto get a reference to the vlc plugin. This reference can then be used to access the objects of the vlc plugin.

• MediaPlayerEncounteredError : vlc has encountered an error and is unable to continue
• MediaPlayerEndReached : vlc has reached the end of current playlist
• MediaPlayerTimeChanged(int time) : time has changed
• MediaPlayerPositionChanged(float position) : media position has changed
• MediaPlayerSeekableChanged(bool seekable) : media seekable flag has changed (true means media is seekable, false means it is not)
• MediaPlayerPausableChanged(bool pausable) : media pausable flag has changed (true means media is pauseable, false means it is not)

• MediaPlayerUnmuted : (supported in vlc version ≥ 2.2.7) audio volume was unmuted
• MediaPlayerAudioVolume(float volume) : (supported in vlc version ≥ 2.2.7) audio volume has changed

The following code snippet provides easy functions to register and unregister event callbacks on all supported platforms.

Event registration issue with IE11

Since IE11, the methods attachEvent() and detachEvent() are not longer available. So the registration of events is not possible. But there are two workarounds:

Workaround 1 - Use the IE10 compatibility mode to re-enable the missing methods. For using the compatibility mode, add this meta tag to the header of your page:

Workaround 2 - Use an old IE-only implementation of event registration. An example with the MediaPlayerBuffering event:

• vlc.video.marquee.enable() : (supported in vlc version ≥ 1.1.0) enable marquee filter.
• vlc.video.marquee.disable() : (supported in vlc version ≥ 1.1.0) disable marquee filter.

Some problems may happen (option like color or text will not be applied) because of the VLC asynchronous functioning. To avoid it, after enabling marquee, you have to wait a little time before changing an option. But it should be fixed by the new vout implementation.

DEPRECATED APIs

Deprecated: log object.

This object allows accessing VLC main message logging queue. Typically this queue capacity is very small (no more than 256 entries) and can easily overflow, therefore messages should be read and cleared as often as possible.

• vlc.log.messages : returns the message collection, see Messages object
• vlc.log.verbosity : write number [-1,0,1,2,3] for changing the verbosity level of the log messages; messages whose verbosity is higher than set will be not be logged in the queue. The numbers have the following meaning: -1 disable, 0 info, 1 error, 2 warning, 3 debug.

DEPRECATED: Messages object

• messages.count : returns number of messages in the log
• messages.clear() : clear the current log buffer. It should be called as frequently as possible to not overflow the message queue. Call this method after the log messages of interest are read.
• messages.iterator() : creates and returns an iterator object, used to iterate over the messages in the log. Don't clear the log buffer while holding an iterator object.

DEPRECATED: Messages Iterator object

• iterator.hasNext : returns a boolean that indicates whether vlc.log.messages.next() will return the next message.
• iterator.next() : returns the next message object in the log, see Message object

DEPRECATED: Message subobject

• message.severity : number that indicates the severity of the log message (0 = info, 1 = error, 2 = warning, 3 = debug)
• message.name : name of VLC module that printed the log message (e.g: main, http, directx, etc...)
• message.type : type of VLC module that printed the log message (eg: input, access, vout, sout, etc...)
• message.message : the message text

How to Install a VLC Media Player Addon .lua

VLC Media Player, itself is a great piece of work. If you are looking to play video and audio files along with other supported things like subtitles, VLC media player needs nothing else. But if you are one of those who require some unique features or who want to extend the functions of a software, then you probably heard about add-ons and plugins. VLC Media Player has a ton of those add-ons. We can load them up manually by downloading the .lua files or automatically through the inbuilt plugin manager.

VLC Media Player allows you to add some new features to the player. Adding a skin to the player change the interface of the player. There are other types of add-ons which allows VLC to do something different like, load lyrics automatically for songs or load subtitles automatically for videos. There are different other possibilities for VLC Media Player. Let’s explore the two options to download and install VLC Media Player add-on.

Option 1: Downloadable Lua Plugins

First of all, it is necessary to understand a bit about VLC Media Player Addons. Here are a few things that you must know about them:

• When it comes to filetype, VLC Media Player add-ons is kind on unique. The files generally have a .lua extension. Although this extension is not unique to VLC, it still is quite a unique one for a normal PC user.
• VLC Media Player add-ons are developed by third-parties, who are interested in extending the possibilities of VLC’s usage. Generally those third-parties are promoting their own service(s) with VLC.
• VLC Addons are downloadable from the official VLC website. The url for it is: http://addons.videolan.org
• Addons or .lua files are downloaded and are copied to a location in the VLC’s program files directory to be installed. No fancy install wizard or anything of that nature.
• After copying the lua files, you will have to restart your VLC player or start a new instance of the player. Then depending upon the addon,you will find them on menu items. Click on those to activate them.

Where to copy lua files to?

VLC addon files are copied to VLC’s directory depending upon the OS. It also depends upon which users you are going to make available the add-ons for. The default ones are:

For All Users

In Windows: Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\extensions\ In Mac OS X:  /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/share/lua/extensions/ In Linux:  /usr/lib/vlc/lua/playlist/ or /usr/share/vlc/lua/extensions/

For Current User

In Windows:  %APPDATA%\vlc\lua\extensions\ In Mac OS X:  /Users/%your_name%/Library/Application Support/org.videolan.vlc/lua/extensions/ In Linux:  ~/.local/share/vlc/lua/extensions/

Note : You have to create the directories if they don’t exist. The final directory /extension in this case might not be the same for all addons. Some addons go into other directories of the lua folder like “playlist”.

How an Addon (.Lua) is Installed?

So, to install a VLC addon, you select one from the official VLC addon website (http://addons.videolan.org) and download it. Then you copy the downloaded file to the location mentioned above, depending on your OS. Then you restart VLC and you’re done.

Option 2: Addon Manager

The most recent version of VLC Media Player has an inbuilt add-on manager. We can access it by going to Tools > Plugins and Extensions . After loading the Plugins and extensions window, click on the Find more addons online button . It will retrieve the list of extensions from their online repository.

Once you find your desired extension, select it and then on the Install button. The manager will automatically download and install the plugin to your player.

You can easily search the library to find your desired plugin. You can find skins, playlist parsers, service discovery, interfaces, art and media fetchers as well as the usual extensions. There’s also an Active Extensions tab to help you manage your installed features.

24 thoughts to “How to Install a VLC Media Player Addon .lua”

Hi, but I can see that there are couple of lua scripts embedded in apk file, including playlist, meta and reader scripts. It just seems to be limited compared to desktop versions of vlc.

Find the native client for the VLC media extension I’ve had VLC for a while now and I cannot use it and I’m mad because I cannot find the native client to go with my Acer Chromebook 15 everything says windows or Apple I’ll see anything there that says Chromebook or Chrome help help help.

Anyone know where to copy .lua files on Ansroid OS, and whether the device needs to be rooted (ie. Does it require SU privileges)?

VLC for Android doesn’t support Lua plugins.

Ah your so right i tried to use the remote control on my vlc app which is on android box T9 and there is no interface that supports the remote.

Is it planned? are there any non “lua” plugins for android?

I don’t think so.

Hi all, I am trying to install Time V3.0 on a Mac. I was able to download the extension, but can’t find the directory I need to copy it into… the instructions say to copy to: /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/share/lua/playlist/

But I am stuck at VLC.app… I see the VLC app there, but that’s the actual application: not a file folder. I tried using CMD + SHIFT + . to reveal hidden files, but I still don’t see any hidden VLC file folder. What am I missing? And thanks!

I was able to copy the file to the appropriate directory using the Terminal in OS X. The add-on seems to launch, but I don’t see the time code appearing anywhere…

Go to your Applications folder and right-click on the VLC app. Select “Show Package Contents”. Once inside Package Contents, locate and open the “MacOS” folder. Locate and open the “share” folder, locate and open the “lua” folder. Locate and open the “extensions” and copy your “time_ext.lua” to it. Close the “extensions” folder. Locate and open the “intf” folder and copy your “looper_intf.lua” to it. Close everything.

Quit and restart VLC. The Time extension should be available under “Extensions” on the VLC menu bar.

Hi. I have followed LUIS’s instructions, but I am getting the same issue as KEN LESLIE. Any help to make this useful addon work would be greatly appreciated.

In Mac OS, this extension only works on VLC 3 and one or two earlier versions (I don’t remember how many). Let’s say you are on VLC 3. After installing the extension (Time v2.0 ) as I explained above and restarting VLC, you should see it under “Extensions” on the VLC menu bar (Under “VLC”). Click on Time v2.0 A small panel appears. On the first drop-down list from the top, choose where on the screen you want the counter. I use “top”. On the next drop-down list, choose the lettering style for your timecode. My favorite is the very first on the list, [E]. Click on “USE pattern”. The chosen style will appear on the field just below on the small panel. Click on “START!” That’s it. If you are using a compatible version of VLC, you should see a timecode on your screen as you play a video.

I just noticed there’s a new version of the time extension. It may solve problems in VLC 3. Go here: https://addons.videolan.org/p/1154032/ Click on “Files” and then on “time.zip” to download the zip file with the three versions (1, 2 and 3). Don’t click on the “download” icon at the end of the row as it will download the old zip which only has Time v. 1 and 2.

Most of the above problems in this situation and many others will be solved by using “Ctrl + Click” ie Hold down the “Control” key and “Click” the mouse. Much less trouble than getting upset.

If I wanted to use 2 hands why would I even bother looking for this extension ¯\_ಠ_ಠ_/¯

But use it where? I managed to download the files with ease, and copied where I was told. Also, restarted the vlc app. But Idk where to find the add-ons i’ve downloaded. Can someone help?

so how do you get the lua file into the VLC extensions on a mac

This is a nightmare. Can’t install this stuff on a Mac and I’m a second year Computer Science student. Why not ad a damn “install extension” in the program it self. But copying files to folders half of the people can’t even get into without guidance from an IT-professional and then it not working as it should.

1. The .lua-files are not being downloaded correctly in Mac OS. Safari just opens them as if it were a web-page and the source code is presented in the browser instead of downloading the file.

2. Once you manage to somehow get the file on to your computer and save it as a .lua-file. You have to copy it to the VLC-folder. Now for me it’s not a problem opening it but I bet you 90% of the people are just going to get to that applications folder and start double-clicking the VLC icon trying to open the folder and end ut with starting VLC and get frustrated as they can’t find any folder.

3. Once you open the folder and copy the files into those katalogs that are mentioned and restart VLC you get absolutely nothing. NADA!

So to the VLC developers I have one thing to say. It’s something that I have been thought from the military and that is: “Do it again and do it right!”

Sillen your ignorance is the problem here, not the program.

VLC is not some ill-conceived amateur trash-ware for the inexperienced user to point and click their way to digital enlightenment. It is a complex and highly configurable, modular client/server interface with an emphasis on functionality with a moderate learning curve. Because of the modular design, usability can appear obfuscated and nonsensical to the uninitiated. Most commercial products (gratis or otherwise) restrict functionality by handicapping the user with licensing conditions, proprietary restrictions or design philosophies that appeal to the lowest common denominator.

Consider why you couldn’t save the .lua file in Safari (did you try another browser or past the code into a text editor?) As a second year computer science student you should know this, or at the very least know how to use a search engine.

VLC is not perfect but it is powerful, reliable and free of cost and is (mostly) GPL so stop giving the military a reach-around and change what you don’t like.

Echoed my thoughts precisely. And there is *some* effort put into helping people use it as a media player (not even including its built-in codecs, sparing the intrepid noob the sometimes nightmarish process of tracking down, installing, keeping up to date…). The config, for instance, is a great way to catch a glimpse of how deep the rabbit hole goes: just put it in advanced mode and you realize how open ended and flexible the structure is.

Certainly seemed pretty obvious to me that the server used the content headers (probably serving the Lua script as text/plain where application/octet-stream and preferably with a disposition field of “attach,” preferably with a filename) and created what a near associate’s in comp sci should have handily recognized by the monospace font and either just saved the file via the menu or, what @warefaresoda mentioned: copy and paste. Ctrl-{a,c}, Win+r, notepad, ctrl-{v,s}.

I personally dropped out, got my GED, and co-owned an IT firm for the better part of a decade. And I may not have a piece of paper that says I’m good at what I do, but I’m slowly realizing the way formal education can handicap you, handing you answers to questions that will be irrelevant by the time that sheepskin is in hand and teaching people to conceptualize things in a way more oriented toward their own and likely unrealistic outside the classroom.

I’d be hopelessly stupid if I never had to figure anything out on my own. And when I use the S word there, I’m indicating a situation having quite specific properties which has almost everything to do with attitude and behavior and little to do with intellect. Probably the most distinctive element is an attitude that someone else is wrong, owes you something, etc. Completely external locus of control, setting up the victim role as a knee jerk reaction when one encounters any situation demanding so much as a modicum of cognitive effort or even some distress.

That’s what I love about IT, tho. The compiler will accept what it can and fail on invalid syntax. Interfaces do what they do whilst daemons and services frolic in the background. Bottom line… There is no one to blame but you, and you don’t have to keep at it, but especially a field like CS… Moore’s law has a 2 year student walking out of the school with roughly 1/8 of what they were taught surviving obsolescence.

IT, CS, whatever… You have to have a knack, and you have to love it and embrace the opportunity to know without a doubt your mistakes are your own. Only then will you cultivate the right attitude and skill set and not be miserable and incompetent.

And it’s also why I love F/OSS and the community. People DO take the source code and make it serve their purposes. If the UX isn’t what you’d like it to be, fix it and send in a patch. Flexible systems have an inherently high learning curve. IOW, nobody owes you anything and it comes off incredibly foolish sounding.

TBH, VLC’s UI seems more like a test harness than a consumer application. Makes sense to me, anyway.

Hi Sillen:-) Did you get a solution for installing the TuneIn extension? For me it is still a nightmare…

shit I can’t manage to download the files on my mac. Trying to download the “time” extension, but whenever i click on download, a new tab open with only text in it.

This is like VLC itself, powerful but a nightmare to use. I got bogged down halfway thru

Don’t give up at half. It’s all about downloading, copying and using.

Vlc has extensions, too: here's what you can do with them.

VLC has many hidden features you might not have noticed.

VLC has many hidden features you might not have noticed . Among these features is a powerful add-on system that supports everything from feature-adding extensions to skins.

To view your installed add-ons, click Tools > Plugins and Extensions in VLC. The window displays your installed extensions and links you to the addons.videolan.org website where you can get more.

To install an extension, download its .lua file from the VLC add-ons website. On Windows, place the .lua files in the C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Roaming\vlc\lua\extensions folder. You'll probably have to create the "lua\extensions" folders in the vlc AppData folder on your own.

These extensions also work on Linux and Mac OS X. Each extension's web page includes instructions for installing the extension to the appropriate folder on every operating system VLC runs on. The extensions don't work on mobile versions of VLC like VLC for Android, iOS, or Windows 8 -- just the desktop versions of VLC for Windows, Linux, and Mac.

To have VLC notice extensions you install, either close and re-open VLC or click the Reload Extensions button in the Plugins and extensions window. You can then activate and access extensions from VLC's View menu.

Video files you download from the web don't always come with subtitles. But sometimes you'll want subtitles anyway -- perhaps the video is in a language you don't understand, the audio is too quiet, or an unfamiliar accent is making it difficult to understand the audio. You can generally hunt down subtitle files on your own, including by downloading them from websites that provide an archive of subtitle files for you.

VLSub automates this process. It uses a hash of the current video file and its title to download an appropriate subtitle file from opensubtitles.org, making it quick and easy to find the correct subtitles for your current video when you want them. You don't have to download them ahead of time and load them separately -- just open VLSub while watching a video.

The Resume Media V2 extension saves the current position of a video or audio file whenever you close VLC. When you re-open VLC, the extension automatically moves the time slider to the position you stopped at. It doesn't just work with a single previous file -- it works with multiple different files and remembers your positions in all of them until you finish watching or listening to the files.

This extension works well for many different types of media files. If you listen to podcasts in VLC, you may find yourself needing to pause listening to an hours-long podcast to do something else -- VLC will remember your position. It's also useful for any other type of long file, from audiobooks and recorded lectures to long movies and TV shows.

Syncplay synchronizes the playback between multiple instances of VLC and other supported media players over the Internet. In other words, if you and someone else anywhere in the world have the same video file, you can use Syncplay to watch it together at the same time. Syncplay will ensure the file's playback is synced up.

In the past, people apart from each other sometimes watched TV movies while talking on the telephone -- now you can use an Internet voice-chat program and Syncplay to watch a video file at the same time and talk about it.

This extension isn't entirely self-contained, as it requires the Syncplay program installed. Unlike the other extensions here, it shouldn't have to be installed manually -- just install the Syncplay program on your computer and it should automatically install the VLC extension.

Web-based video players like YouTube often allow you to click the video screen to pause and resume playing a video. VLC forces you to press Space or click a small Play/Pause button at the bottom of the screen, which can be inconvenient if you're controlling VLC with a mouse from a distance -- perhaps while using VLC as a media player connected to your TV with an HDMI cable . With this extension installed, you can just click anywhere on the video to pause or resume playing your video file.

The extension site is full of even more extensions and plug-ins, but we wanted to highlight the best. So many other features -- whether you're thinking of transcoding or streaming -- are built into VLC already.

The website also offers a variety of skins and service discovery scripts. You can make your VLC window look entirely different or add support for discovering different types of online streams -- like radio stations from TuneIn Radio -- to VLC's playlist window. Take a look at the site on your own, but don't be surprised if you don't find an extension to do something -- that feature may be hiding somewhere in VLC already.
