Stream RSTP Videos Directly On Mozilla Firefox

Few times ago i posted Stream 3Gp youtube video right from your desktop/ laptop, now today's article is only for mozilla firefox browser. By this you can directly play a rstp link right from your browser on VLC media player(you can play 3gp youtube videos too).

There are two ways of completing the job, first is updating about:config and registry editing.
i would like to suggest try the first one, first.

Updating about:config

Type about:config into the address bar

1. and press Enter.
Right-click -> New -> Boolean -> Name: network.protocol-handler.expose.rtsp.
Set its value to false .

2.Next time you click a link of protocol-type rtsp you will be asked which application to open it with.
Enter your path to vlc.exe, in my case it is C:\Program Files\VideoLan\VLC\vlc.exe

Registry editing
Make a rtsp.reg file and add the following:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\rtsp]
@="Real Time Streaming Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\rtsp\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\rtsp\shell\open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\rtsp\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\VideoLan\\VLC\\vlc.exe\" \"%1\""

Double click and add to registry.
Make sure the VLC Firefox plugins npvlc.dll and vlcintf.xpt are installed in Firefox plugin folder.
