goa103, is using vlc through media-player connectivity inconvinient for you?

Regarding using svn, svn does not necessarily get the latest version. You can tell it to get a specific revision, i.e. it acts as a time machine. see: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch03s03.html

have you looked at the java and python bindings?

vlc does run on lenny and sid. could you clarify your assertion?

probably something related to your mozilla libs. try reconfiguring with "--disable-mozilla" and then make.

try using ffmpeg.

see http://wiki.videolan.org/Useful_Firefox_Extensions

can you try building from svn to see if the problem persists? see j-b's blog here: http://www.jbkempf.com/blog/post/2007/0 ... Feisty-704

see http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/allpackages

mpg321 should be fine.

if you have a fast net connection, you can download the ubuntu dvd's, then use them as local repositories using apt-cdrom. but while you are at it, better download the debian dvd.

also, google for "local repository" ubuntu

a deb package just for vlc is worthless, this is not as easy as in windows; because there are many dependencies. see http://packages.debian.org/stable/graphics/vlc to see how many dependencies you actually need. you

you have to start vlc from the cli with the '-vvv' switch so that we can know what the error messages are.

I think you should first fix the network connection issue with Ubuntu.

Though be aware that it might not be a simple apt-get dist-upgrade. check http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/r ... en-gb.html

try mplayer, maybe it's supported (I don't have a clue).

Well, it is just that sarge is the old stable now and etch is the new stable. so, expect to receive less or no updates for sarge in the future, that's why. of course if that's a mission critical machine and dont want to risk, that's ok.

I think the flac duration was fixed in the svn. search for flac in the forum. probably, 86b has that problem.

I don't remember actually, X11 probably. Just try all of them. One more thing: I think the problem had started when I tried the ATI's proprietary drivers, changing back to xorg's might have solved it either.

In my case, it would segfault with other players as well.

When I said vlc was in sarge, I meant that it was in the sarge repositories. Comment out the Videolan repositories, do an "apt-get update", then "apt-get install vlc". And honestly, you should be upgrading to debian etch.

I had a similar issue once, and changing the video output module had fixed it.

Try increasing the verbosity of vlc with -vvv flag to see what happens.

you may add it then exec

vlc -vvv and try recompiling with debugging enabled if you want more.

and isn't vlc in sarge already? see http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/sear ... elease=all
try commenting out those videolan repositories unless you want dvd decryption.

oh, are you still running sarge?
