I made some progress - it seems vlc doesn't like it when video is streamed from the local machine. I had thought vls didn't work from a upnp source on the local network either, but it turns out I didn't wait long enough - it took fully 10 minutes to index the contents of the upnp server (compared to...

The changes are relatively small so maybe it would be easiest to make them manually with a text editor.

Otherwise something like "patch -Np1 -i patchfilename"?

I used lua-5.1.4 - from my notes, it looks as though shared libs are not made by default and you need to edit the Makefile as per the patch below. This might not be the case with lua-5.2, but here's the patch anyway ------- start of patch --------- diff -ur lua-5.1.orig/src/Makefile lua-5.1/src/Make...

Not an answer to your question I know, but why not compile and install lua separately and then compile vlc against it?

This worked fine for me with the latest stable vlc.

There is a (socket) error in libupnp. This is not a VLC bug, so we cannot help you much. libupnp was compiled from the latest stable version available... Why not use gupnp, the project seems to be more active and better maintained? Make sure IPv6 works and there is no firewall I was testing by stre...

I tried some further troubleshooting setting the local machine up to stream upnp video using rygel. I got this error: [0x9507dd4] upnp_intel services discovery error: UPNP_E_SOCKET_ERROR [0x9507dd4] main services discovery debug: no services_discovery module matching "upnp_intel" could be ...

It might be worth checking you have the lua dev files installed - I seem to remember that when I compiled lua, it did not install the headers, pc file, etc by default...

Using vlc-1.1.13 and libupnp-1.6.14 I am unable to play upnp streamed video. I can see the upnp server in vlc, but not any of the videos being streamed. Note that I can use gupnp-av-cp on the same machine to play the streamed videos without problems. I can also copy one of the videos from the upnp s...
