                    <param name="MRL" id="mrlVideo" value="" />
                    <param name="volume" value="50" />
                    <param name="autoplay" value="True" />
                    <param name="loop" value="false" />

                    <param name="windowless" value="true" />
                </object>

 var vlc = document.getElementById("vlc");
        var options = new Array(":rtsp-tcp"); 
        var urlVideofile = "hppt://IP:portnumber/"
        var id = vlc.playlist.add(urlVideofile, null, options);
        vlc.playlist.playItem(id);

Here is attach image that showing what exactly error is coming

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks.

Answer 1

JavaScript is case-sensitive. You need to access vlc.playlist (not vlc.Playlist ), call vlc.playlist.add (not vlc.Playlist.Add ) and vlc.playlist.play (not vlc.playlist.Play ). IE9's JavaScript engine is more standards-compliant than previous versions of IE, which may have allowed case-insensitive access to ActiveX/COM APIs .

Additionally, a bug was introduced in VLC 2.0.6 that breaks the ActiveX API, so you will need to use VLC 2.0.5 or earlier. (Despite what is stated in #8627, this issue is not fixed in VLC 2.0.7, which appears to still include the 2.0.6 ActiveX plugin for some reason.)

Answer 2

We have found the solutions as

//var options = [":rtsp-tcp"]; //commented out

//replace the line above with this.Note the CSA key is pre-pended with:
var options = [":ts-csa-ck="+EncryptionkeyValue]; 

//options.push("ts-csa-ck=EncryptionkeyValue");  //commented out as its above now
var itemId = vlc.playlist.add(targetURL, "", options); // continue as normal
var id = vlc.playlist.add(urlVideofile, null, options);
vlc.playlist.playItem(id);

Its working fine for Browsers including IE8 which have highest version, IE9, IE10 , Chrome, and FF.
