Theora Video plugin for IE, Firefox, Safari
Theora Video plugin for IE, Firefox, Safari
this is the worlds first only Theora audio / video plugin that supports fullscreen ! and works on IE8,Firefox all versions, plus Safari 4,5
i've taken the Videolan project and removed all the garbage that's not needed for the web plugin to function, i've also only left support for the open source theora codec and audio, so now users do not need to install the full Videolan core to be able to stream theora clips on the browser
I'm in need of a professional installer clean, i've got some experience with creating a exe installer but that is from some paid software that adds logos at the setup stages which really is annoying.
there are only two things to do, just extract the folder to
C:\Program Files\VideoLAN
go into
C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC and reg Classes.REG so the plugin can work
thats it !
this is my very own alternative to flash video ! my revenge

We use Install shield to create setups. However it can be too much features for a small setup as this.
You may try following MSI creators.

I have no experience with NSIS. Only Install Shield and Setup Factory.
If you are expecting compatibility under Vista and Windows 7, you will have to make the setup using a standard Install building program. There are lots of posts with complains against using special folders like Program Files/Registry under Win 7.where would i tell the installer to copy the folder VideoLan in Program Files, when move completes to register the classes.reg

this all sounds so complicated, i've in the irc now begging for help i don't think i'm getting anywhere,
the installer working in vista, i just need to execute the reg now somehow
Re: Theora Video plugin for IE, Firefox, Safari
Once you know the .reg files are there, it seems you can use the following command.
You might also be able to convert the two .reg files in to NSIS commands using this tool.
Code: Select all
ExecWait '"regedit" /s yourregfile.reg'
Re: Theora Video plugin for IE, Firefox, Safari
yeah i already done that with Reg2Nsis classes.reg -O output.txt converted the regs to nsis code and copied code into the script, but i couldn't figure how to add the files and create a directory to copy the files to, its really a damm shame i cant figure it out yet, i asked in the videolan forum that guy j-b if he can create a installer for me, waiting for reply.Neo wrote:Once you know the .reg files are there, it seems you can use the following command.
