I'm using a DCS-942L camera and Mozilla Firefox.  When I upgraded the camera firmware to 1.12 I see there is now a new video playback function on the mydlink website.  This is great, but the video doesn't play in my Mozilla Firefox browser.  There is just a black box, with text "Cannot see the video?  Please download and install the plug-in." underneath.  I tried clicking on this, and it runs wmpfirefoxplubin.exe, but there is no change.

My Live View streaming video works fine, and the feature also works fine in Internet Explorer and Chrome.  It's just Firefox (my main browser, for other reasons) that has an issue.  Also, if I go to the Advanced Setting page on the camera, to SD Management, I can download and open a video file and it works well.  But the new mydlink playback is much more convenient.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Mike

I resolved the problem.

I disabled the VLC media player in Firefox plugins, and now the video plays correctly.

I have this same issue when trying to view video saved to my DCS-942L's MicroSD card via the MyDlink website.  I am not able to view saved video, although I am however able to view live video.  When trying to view saved video, I only hear sound, no video.  I installed the required plugin for Firefox and it still does not work.  I also tried disabling the VLC plugin in Firefox and it did not work.  Additionally, I could not get it to work in Chrome 23, IE 8 and Firefox 17.

The latest Java patch corrected the issue on my FF browsers as well.
