Was a year ago when I was trying to get this working so gave up and we paid a lot of money for some software but this does not seem to work consistency so want to give it another go. Has anyone else got this working. Does anyone else know how to fix the above error?

Ok, found the issue, the SDK path needed Linux at the end. ben@swalow ~ $ vlc --list-verbose | grep decklink VLC media player 2.0.8 Twoflower (revision 2.0.8a-0-g68cf50b) decklink Blackmagic DeckLink SDI input ben@swalow ~ $ So I have decklink card included but still no output;(. greped on decklink ...

I have been trying to get working with a Blackmagic Decklink card for a few days. I have installed the drivers and MediaExpress sortware. I can play throught the MediaExpress software. From what I can gather to see if VLC has the decklink drivers included I use: $ vlc --list-verbose | grep decklink ...

LOL, I am afraid your reply is not very useful to me. I was trying to use the GUI. Thought the word failure may of been a clue that all is not fine by ME ;). Anyway if anyone else is having a similar problem I fixed it with the following workaround, if anyone has a better solution please let me know...

OK, read thread, are people saying vlc in Unbuntu had desklink suport compiled in?

OK, I will compile. Is this correct?

$ apt-get source vlc
$ apt-get build-dep vlc
$ cd /root/vlc*
$ ./bootstrap
$ ./configure --with-decklink-sdk="/root/Blackmagic DeckLink SDK 10.1.4"
$ make
