下面开始使用教程：

html文档结构：

 <object class="vlc" type='application/x-vlc-plugin'  events='True' width="720" height="540">

        <param name='mrl' value='' />

        <param name='volume' value='50' />

        <param name='autoplay' value='true' />

        <param name='loop' value='false' />

        <param name='fullscreen' value='false' />

    </object>

   <object class="vlc" type='application/x-vlc-plugin'  events='True' width="720" height="540" classid='clsid:9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921'>

          <param name='mrl' value='' />

          <param name='volume' value='50' />

          <param name='autoplay' value='true' />

          <param name='loop' value='false' />

          <param name='fullscreen' value='false' />

    </object>

上面的object 在其他浏览器中有效，下面的object在ie下面有效；

可以使用js判断浏览器类型来动态插入object对象：

	function showPlayer(id,url){

    var vhtml = '<object id="vlc"';

    var userAg = navigator.userAgent;

    if(-1 != userAg.indexOf("MSIE")){

        vhtml+=' classid="clsid:9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921"';

    }

    else if(-1 != userAg.indexOf("Firefox") || -1 != userAg.indexOf("Chrome") || -1 != userAg.indexOf("Opera") || -1 != userAg.indexOf("Safari")){

        vhtml+=' type="application/x-vlc-plugin"';

    }

    vhtml+=' width="700" height="400">';

    //下面这些播放器的参数自己配置吧

    vhtml+="<param name='mrl' value='' />";

    vhtml+="<param name='autoplay' value='true' />";

	vhtml+=" <param name='volume' value='50' />";

	vhtml+=" <param name='loop' value='false' />";

	vhtml+="<param name='fullscreen' value='false' />";

	vhtml+='</object>';

    document.getElementById(id).innerHTML = vhtml;

}

简单的控制：

function play(elem)

	{

		var vlc=document.getElementById('vlc');

		vlc.playlist.clear();

		vlc.playlist.add(elem.href);

		vlc.playlist.play();

	}

下面是判断插件的安装状态：

	function isInsalledIEVLC(){

        var vlcObj = null;

        var vlcInstalled= false;

        try {

            vlcObj = new ActiveXObject("VideoLAN.Vlcplugin.2");

            if( vlcObj != null ){

                vlcInstalled = true

            }

        } catch (e) {

            vlcInstalled= false;

        }

        return vlcInstalled;

    }

	function isInsalledFFVLC(){

         var numPlugins=navigator.plugins.length;

         for  (i=0;i<numPlugins;i++)

         {

              plugin=navigator.plugins[i];

              if(plugin.name.indexOf("VideoLAN") > -1 || plugin.name.indexOf("VLC") > -1)

            {

                 return true;

            }

         }

         return false;

    }

以上分别是两种插件的安装情况；

最后献上vlc最全的api：

Embed tag attributes

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

<embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" pluginspage="http://www.videolan.org" />

<object classid="clsid:9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921" codebase="http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/last/win32/axvlc.cab"></object>

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, mrl, filename, src: Specifies the source location (URL) of the video to load.

Optionnal elements

These are additional attributes for the <embed> tag:

autoplay, autostart: Specifies whether the plugin starts playing on load. Default: true
allowfullscreen: (available since VLC version 1.2.0) Specifies whether the user can switch into fullscreen mode. Default: true

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 asking for vlc.input.length when there
is no playlist item playing.

VLC objects

The vlc plugin knows the following objects:

audio: Access audio properties.
input: Access input properties.
playlist: Access playlist properties.
subtitle: Access subtitle properties.
video: Access video properties.
- video.marquee: Access marquee video filter properties.
- video.logo: Access logo video filter properties.
mediaDescription: Access media info properties (only 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).

Example

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.

<html>

<title>VLC Mozilla plugin test page</title>

<body>

<embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" pluginspage="http://www.videolan.org"

 width="640"

 height="480"

 id="vlc">

<script language="Javascript">

<!--

var vlc = document.getElementById("vlc");

vlc.audio.toggleMute();

//!-->

</body>

</html>

to show on the video screen. The property takes an integer as input
value [1..65535]. If subtitle
track is set to 0, the subtitles will be disabled.

DEPRECATED APIs

DEPRECATED: Log object

CAUTION: For security concern, VLC 1.0.0-rc1 is the
latest (near-to-stable) version in which this object and its children
are supported.

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