Updating VLC plug-in in FireFox with 64-bit VLC installed

Posted by on 2015/07/09 No comments

I discovered this issue as part of checking that all plug-ins in Firefox is up to date (thanks to Adobe’s security mess). The VLC plug-in was listed as outdated so I updated VLC from their web site – the 64-bit version as that is what I use.

Checking Firefox again (plugincheck) I noticed VLC was still listed as outdated with the version unchanged. Thanks to Google I found an article that shows how to get the path of all Firefox plug-ins (about:plugins). This gave me the path C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\npvlc.dll . Fortunately VLC provides a plain zip/7zip download of their apps (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html) which you can use to simply copy the files over the old version.

Well, that is one way to skin a… fix a plug-in I mean… 🙂

Formatting C# code in WordPress post

Posted by on 2012/05/17 No comments

If you are like me working with C# a lot and trying to post articles on your WordPress site you might like this: Alex Gorbatchev’s SyntaxHighlighter

Example source code listing

[ sourcecode language=”csharp” ]
void Stuff
{

int moreStuff = 0;

}
[ /sourcecode ]

Would look like this:

void Stuff
{
    int moreStuff = 0;
}

I haven’t tested it with all possible language features but at least it is a start!
