I noticed some entries in Trac recently regarding Shoutcast fixes, and indeed tonite's build looks much closer... but not quite there. Glad to see you folks are working on this, it's a killer feature. Thanks for all of the great work, VLC is fantastic! (now if only I can get ogg files/streams workin...

I'm trying to pull up a list of Shoutcast streams in last-night's nightly build. I start VLC, select View->Playlist, then select Manage->ServicesDiscovery->ShoutcastRadioListings. I immediately get an exception, which Windows graciously offers to send to Microsoft for me :-). Looks like a problem in...

Still no solution to this problem.

FFmpeg is built with all of it's ogg/vorbis encoder/decoder disabled.
Vlc is built with ogg/vorbis enabled.

Vlc gets a Bus Error when I try to play an ogg file (or stream).

Any ideas?
Anyone?

Looks like the same thing happens with plugins enabled: # ./vlc -vvv ../../Epo*ogg VLC media player 0.8.5 Janus [00000001] main vlc debug: opening config file /root/.vlc/vlcrc [00000001] main vlc warning: config file /root/.vlc/vlcrc does not exist yet [00000001] main vlc debug: checking builtin mod...

At first glance, it looks like you didn't specify where you wanted to stream out to. I'm not familiar enough with the streaming-out feature to help you more, but I'm sure you have to somehow specify the protocol & destination you want VLC to send the output stream to. Check the WIKI at http://wi...

I'm cross-compiling VLC for the Roku HD1000. MP3 steams and files work fine, but I can't get ogg files or streams to work at all. Plugins are disabled, so it's just one huge executable. I'm working with the official VLC 0.8.5 release, but had no luck with the svn snapshot either. I've tried the late...

Congratulations! How did you figure that out?

Well I'm fresh out of good ideas. Try running "vlc -l" (that's the letter ell), and see if your plugin is listed. You might try building VLC with --enable-trace, then run it with "vlc --extraintf logger", then examine the log file after you quit. You could try building VLC with -...

I've only seen the "PTS out of range" errors when the host couldn't decode the video fast enough. On my Roku box (MIPS) I see this with mpegs, still working on it...

Did you build Matroska with optimization turned on (-O)?

Check out http://wiki.videolan.org/index.php/WxWidgets_Interface.

The wxwidgets interface is named wx, but it should also be the default.

Have you tried just running vlc with no options (remove ~/.vlc first just in case your prior -Iwxwidgets got saved)?

Or force it with "vlc -I wx".

What's the output if you add -vvv to the command line?

Smells like SELinux is messing with you. I googled & found: Newer Linux distributions have enabled new kernel security extensions from the SELinux project at the NSA. These extensions allow finer-grained control over system security. However, SELinux also changes some default system behaviors, s...

My music directory has 257 entries, most of which are subdirectories. /mnt/smb/servername/music is an SMB mount; I have no trouble using it from the ncurses interface or with ls. When I use the Browse button to navigate to it, the interface hangs - the directory won't display. I've tried both Firefo...

I've built a working VLC 0.8.5 audio player for the ROKU HD1000. There are two changes to configure.ac, one to provide the libraries needed for the hd1000a module to link, the other ensures that vlc is linked with libvlc.a when plugins are disabled (this should be a problem on any platform?). --- .....

Another possible bug when building with --disable-plugins: When linking the vlc binary, the make process doesn't include libvlc, causing many undefined reference errors. Adding "-L./lib -lvlc" to the link command generates vlc properly. Is there something I can change in configure.ac to fi...

Ok, I'm giving up on Ogg/Vorbis for now (grrr). VLC either gives me a "Segmentation fault" or says it doesn't know how to play it (no decoder). Onwards to better things... # ./vlc Bomb.ogg VLC media player 0.8.4a Janus Remote control interface initialized, `h' for help status change: ( New...
