Javascript play function query to stream live videos

Question

I am trying to stream live videos in internet explorer so for that I have used object tag in html using active plugin that is supported in IE.

Problem I'm facing is with the function that I have used to stream that gives the error: Unable to get value of the property 'add': object is null or undefined at [ var id=players[0].playlist.add(url,opts); ]

Following is my code:

 <script type="text/javascript">
    function playvideo()
       {
       var players=document.getElementsByName("vlc");
           var opts = new Array("");
       url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3u1fu6f8Hto";
    var id=players[0].playlist.add(url,opts);
    players[0].playlist.playItem(id);
        }
  </script>

      <OBJECT classid="clsid:9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921"
codebase="http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/latest/win32/axvlc.cab"
   width="640" height="480" name="vlc" events="True">
         <param name="Src" value="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3u1fu6f8Hto" />
         <param name="ShowDisplay" value="True"  />
         <param name="AutoLoop" value="False" />
         <param name="AutoPlay" value="False" />
       </OBJECT>

The url used is just a dummy one the actual one has to be rtsp streaming

Can anybody please help me out what else can I use instead of add function because I guess that isn't supported.
