I have tried to compile VLC for Android but I have no luck setting up the build environment in Ubuntu. I have modified 2 files vlc-android/libvlc/jnilibvlcjni-mediaplayer.c and libvlc/src/org/videolan/libvlc/MediaPlayer.java In jnilibvlcjni-mediaplayer.c I added the following code: void Java_org_vid...

Vlc crashes when trying to rebuild font cache so I was wondering if it's possible to disable this feature?

VLC nightlies should now support DXVA but I can't get it to work. Is there a setting I need to change?

I use VLC to view video from two different webcams at ones and that worked great but when I try view a third camera nothing happens. All the cameras work when they are used simultaneously with only one other camera. What is causing this? Is it a limitation of directshow?

Thanks,
But the point is really that if everything is set up correctly I shouldn't have to disable anything.

... and I can provide you a VirtualBox VM running Ubuntu and with a correct VLC setup if you want.

That would be awesomely great!

I've tried to follow the guide about compiling using cygwin but that didn't work and then I read that it was buggy and it was recommended to cross-compile from linux. But it isn't easier :cry: This is what I've done: 1. Install ubuntu 8.04 2. download vlc-0.9.8a source. I'm trying to compile this co...

I had the same problem... apparently replacing in the libtool file the line: ECHO="echo" with: echo="echo" solves the "X" problem... unfortunately I have other problems during compilation later on... I can't guarantee that it's cause of the change in the libtool file, ...

Is it just me or was the old 0.8.6 API much better. One used to have access to both getvariable and setvariable. Using those methods you could get things like embedded subtitles and audio streams and you could set thing like brightness and contrast without having to restart the video. I'm not critic...

How can one get available subtitle tracks using this api?

Kantaris works without extracting for for most archives. But it does need to extract the file if the RAR archives are compressed but that's not common with video as video is almost always as compressed as can be.

There is new media player named Kantaris based on VLC that can play RAR files without unpacking. It also allows you to seek to any location in video like you're playing any other file.

I found out myself, if anyone wonders its
vlc "file.part1" --file-cat "file.part2","file.part3","file.part4"

How do you use the file-cat= command? If I understand correctly this command could be used to play split files as if they were part of a unique file. But there is no documentation on how it is used. Does anyone know?

I can do that. What are the differenceS? That's very nice of you but it's no longer needed because I got it to work. :D :D This is what I did. 1. Using cygwin setup I uninstalled mingw-runtime-3.14-1 2. Downloaded mingw-runtime-3.11-1 from http://cygwin.internet.bs/release/mingw-runtime/mingw-runti...

Maybe someone could be nice enough to compile vlc 0.8.6d for me. I have only changed two files from the default 0.8.6d source. The files are ~\modules\video_output\sdl.c and ~\include\vlc_config.h. The modifid files can be downloaded here( . The compiled program should have the same features enabled...

I have the same problem as MDPI314. I used to be able to compile vlc-0.8.6a and b but since then cygwin has been uninstalled. Now when I try to install cygwin some of the recommended package versions no longer exist. I don't know if that's the source of the problem. Anyway disabling all the thing th...

Is it posable to set the output module to directx via command line? I know you can set in the gui and that it's saved there but I need to set it via command line.

you will need axvlc.dll and the folder named plugins.
Read the readme file in the activex folder for instructions on installing the axvlc.dll

Object[] ob = new Object[2]; ob[0] = ":directx-hw-yuv "; // ":no-directx-hw-yuv"; ob[1] = ":sub-file= \"" + @"C:\Documents and Settings\Ägaren\Skrivbord\desperate.housewives.s03e13.hr.hdtv.xvid-ctu\desperate.housewives.313.hdtv.xvid.notv.srt" +"\&qu...

now that I re-read your original post I think I've missundertood you. I thought you asked if it was possable to use vlc .net api for video playback and bass api for audio files. Sorry

I don't think it will be a easy task to play the audio using bass when playing a video.

I found a solution.

I did it "manually" instead. Opened up windows command prompt and wrote: Then I just compiled it in cygwin again and it worked.

I'm a genius... ok maybe not.

over at the official bass site they have a bass.net api. It's simple to use and even contains samples. Yes, so it can be easily done.

I'm trying to change the uuid of the activex control so that my modified version can coexist on the same system as the official vlc activex. But when I try to compile using cygwin I get the following error. midl -Oicf -error all -env win32 -tlb axvlc.tlb -iid axvlc_idl.c -h axvlc_ axvlc.idl Microsof...

Unfortunately this violates the GPL lisence since bass isn't open source.
