Using a recent version of Totem's web browser plugin (anything newer than 2.26.0 should do), I get an error from this piece of javascript:

       <div id="player_page" class="player">
            <embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" pluginspage="http://www.videolan.org" version="VideoLAN.VLCPlugin.2"
                    width="320"
                    height="240"
                    id="vlc">
            </embed>
            <script type="text/javascript">
                    var vlc = document.getElementById("vlc");
                    if (vlc != null) {
                            vlc.playlist.items.clear();
                            vlc.playlist.add("2012-musicvideo1_h480p.mov", null, ":sub-file=test.srt");
                            vlc.playlist.play();
                    }

The error is:
console message: http://localhost:12345/11.html @37: TypeError: Result of expression 'vlc.playlist' [undefined] is not an object.

In Totem's plugin, vlc.playlist is a read-only property containing an object. The same code works in Firefox.

In chromium:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'items' of undefined
So playlist is undefined as well.

In my browser plugin, the "playlist" object is a read-only property of the vlc object.

Totem's web browser plugin doesn't exist any more.
