Any updates on this issue?

I also heard some rumors that PPC Support might be dropped in VLC 2.1.x

We are going to purchase a test device for me this week - however, I won't be able to use it prior to end of may (shipping stuff), so regrettably, this is taking a little longer, but will be worked out eventually. in the meantime, as stated above, i would be happy to support you. If you have alread...

Concerning this thread topic: our problem at the moment is that we don't have access to a testing device. We got 2 G5s and it's working nicely on both of them. I might be able to arrange something next week, but no promises at this point. If you have any updated pieces of code i would be happy to g...

Can you do a good screenshots of both?

Still using Bicubic scaler, but this time the output is tinted red instead of the red stripes.

Can you share the logs, please?

Can you go to modules/video_output/opengl.c and then add: bool supports_fp = supports_multitexture = false; one line 202 (before * Initialize with default chroma * ) "supports_fp" is already declared at line 164, so i just added supports_fp = supports_multitexture = false; but unfortunate...

Just registered for a developer account at Apple. Does anyone has a link to a PPC 10.5.8 compatible version of XCode ? Thanks ! Latest for 10.5.8 is Xcode 3.1.4 http://adcdownload.apple.com/Developer_Tools/xcode_3.1.4_developer_tools/xcode314_2809_developerdvd.dmg But as mentioned in the wiki instr...

Now i managed to successfully compile VLC. But the red stripes are still there. Technical details: * G4 Mac Mini / Radeon 9200 / OSX 10.5.8 / Xcode 3.1.4 * source checkout from git using tag "2.0.1" * had to tweak "extras/package/macosx/build.sh" to use "llvm-gcc-4.2" r...

err, don't have access to IRC currently. sorry.

Testing different cards would help yes. But what truly is needed is a guy with those machines able to compile VLC. yes, here ;-) i have a G4 Mac mini with a Radeon 9200 card running 10.5.8. Unfortunately i have some troubles compiling the 2.0.1 sources. You may send me a PM since i don't think we h...
