Probably need to start with a far more detailed explanation of the problem.

Right, still no damn clue WTH you're on about. But, you're dr. code, I'm sure you can figure it out.

You need to explain what are you trying to do in the first place, what is the problem you found and what do you want others to help you with... You knowing what you know doesn't mean others do as well, so you need to detail some more...
Just my guess but I'd say he wants to launch the program VLC (http://www.videolan.org) from within XBMC by using code found on vlc.py
I am looking for vlc in xbmc plugin (without luncher) using vlc.py code.The way I read it, he'd like to create a plugin to use vlc as playback engine, without the need for the external launcher option.
Why he would want to do it is beyond me, though.

If that's the case, then he needs this...

If I understand this right, there's nothing to be done different in the plugin, simply using use the xbmc.Player() or xbmc.Player(xbmc.PLAYER_CORE_AUTO)
PS: Before we spend too much time trying to guess what Dr Code might want, we should probably let him have another go... :)

What are you trying to achieve by doing this? If all you want is external player support then take a look at external player support - http://www.xbmc.org/wiki/?title=HOW-TO_use_an_External_Player_for_media_playback
However saying that, xbmc should play all of the files that vlc will.
Some more info about what you are trying to achieve and why will allow people to help you more, so far you have told us nothing.
Hi All,
I don't want to make vlc has default player of xbmc, I want to be able also to run vlc.py has plugin , so for example I will be able to show my web cam in xbmc via vlc or watch TV in xbmc via vlc ?
I want to use vnc.py (that using libvlc.dll)
Thanx

That's called video streaming, you want VLC to run on your PC and stream video contents (like webcams and live tv) to the XBMC, possibily running on some other machine.
Maybe this helps - http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?p=207206, there's lots of other posts on the XBMC forums, try searching.
Sometime is much easier if you explain what you're trying to accomplish, if you are not sure how :)
