Support & Help Requests Raspberry Pi

OS: Ubuntu 16.04.02
Hardware: Raspberry Pi 3
Installed: browser-plugin-vlc
I cannot enable this plugin for video playback on Firefox/Chromium.

Any clues?

I noticed that VLC enable hardware accelerated video playback. Just wondering if Firefox can play the Full HD video if vlc plugin is properly run.

Thanks!

Hi @odbwilson,

I do not use this plugin but I have read that support for NPAPI is no longer supported in Chromium and for Firefox:

Firefox joins other modern browsers like Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge to remove support for these NPAPI plugins.
Why do Java, Silverlight, Adobe Acrobat and other plugins no longer work? | Firefox Help

Though, I found something interesting, I'll test it when possible:

Sounds interesting. Do let me know the testing result when done.

Cheers!
