In the DataMiner 10.0.10+ versions, there is a known issue with VLC plugin where it can only be used with IE browser. VLC Visio Links in dataminer X - DataMiner Dojo provides a workaround so that VLC plugins can be used in the Visio shapes.

However with the recent announcement from Microsoft, The future of Internet Explorer on Windows 10 is in Microsoft Edge | Windows Experience Blog, IE will be out of support completely by June 15th, 2022. So what is the future and path forward for VLC plugin in the DataMiner?

Internet Explorer as a standalone webbrowser application will have its support ended by 2022 indeed. However, the Internet Explorer browser engine (MSHTML) has support until 2029 (see references). This engine is embedded in Cube in the same way as it is available as IE Mode in the Edge browser.

The alternative when using the Chrome/CefSharp browser engine is to provide video thumbnails or streams in an HTML5-compatible format using open standard video and audio codecs (VP9, Opus). If the need arises, we can also embed VLC natively in Cube using libvlcsharp.
