Description

Hi there, I found an error in the vlc mozilla plugin.

I made a html file with two embed tags in it. By loading the embedded files the browser * crashes immediately OR *the page is rendered, you can play the embedded files but, when you reload the page while playing or after, the browser crashes.

I also filed a mozilla bug for this: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=427372 but they've told me that it's caused by the vlc plugin. Test case for this behaviour can be found at http://home.arcor.de/tfontane/Bug%20testing.html

You can also take a look at the mozilla bug report, there're links to the firefox crash reports.

I have already read that due to internal VLC design, using two embed VLC player in a same page is not supported.

Then I think I have to search for another solution on how to play mp3 files with the browser. ATM I found the emff flash music player. But I would also really appreciate that this bug gets fixed. You needn't to make it work, you just have to make the browser not to crash. :)
