I grabbed faad from the web site. Wasnt aware of the contrib directory.. THanks.
However, I have the same issue. I did recompile vlc with --enable-faad and reinstall.
The following lines (entire output below):
[00000519] main demuxer debug: using demux2 module "asf"
[00000520] main decoder debug: looking for decoder module: 34 candidates
[00000520] main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `MP4S'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.
[00000520] main decoder debug: killing decoder fourcc `MP4S', 0 PES in FIFO
Are my issue. vlc is not knowing how to play MP4S. I am trying to play a linksys camera.
I see other posts have been successful in doing that so I feel it works.
What am i missing to play the MP4S?
