The VideoLAN Forums

VLC is available in an own repository, that is maintained by VLC project members. See http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-suse.html Be sure to get VLC from that source and that all the dependencies can be satisfied. For openSUSE 10.2, everything should be available in the repository. One more thing...

try starting firefox from a console shell.

the vlc plugin is quiet verbose when it's started and the log could get some insight what is going wrong and what it is trying to do.

Hi, Are you sure you typed the whole URL right? Especially take care of the word SuSE (all caps, except u) According to http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-suse.html the repository is now version independet (so no 0.8.6 in the URL anymore) rug sa -t zypp http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vl...

I'm quiet sure it's the libdvdnav from the PackMan repository. Revert the libdvdread and libdvdplay from PackMan back to the original ones from openSUSE 10.2. I'm using openSUSE 10.2 64bit myself and don't have any issues, but I would never let PM update the base libs, if I'm not sure they give addi...

Amical,

It seems you solved this problem, according to

Hi,

The repositories got updated and new RPMs are available. YaST shuld see available updates. The latest RPMs are named
vlc-0.8.6a-3.0.i586.rpm

Good luck with them!

In case of problems, let me know.

Dominique

amical,

The current version available on the FTP Servers is built without live555 support.
I'm just in process of creating new RPMs with this enabled. They should be available soon.

Dominique

Quiet late reply, I know. But two things: For the battery, I would have a look at http://www.newmp3technology.com/ I had already several Archos devices and guess what: the battery always sucks. And getting a new one is almost impossible... Except: this website (mainly reproductions.. but work great!...

Did you give it enough time to receive the stream.

On some sites I've seen it taking up to 30 seconds until the video might start. (I use it most of the time on imdb.com, for the trailers)

It takes a time, but it works for me.

you should probably give the official VLC RPMs (Version 0.8.6a, including the latest security fix) a try.

Follow the instructions on http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-suse.html

Masterofmind1969, What dependencies are there not fullfilled, VLC is not using any libs on 10.2 that are not either shipped with 10.2 or available in the repository. In case you have some immense problems with repos, please also try to add an online repository of openSUSE 10.2 rug sa -t zypp http://...

Frank_Zappa,

Maybe some console output of vlc -vvv could help us see an error on this.
Otherwise, all we can reply is: works for me

There is indeed an error in this spec file for your installed libdvdread.

In fact, you do NOT have libdvdread installed (from PoV of rPM), but only libdvdread3

change that
Requires: libdvdread >= 0.9.4
to
Requires: libdvdread3 >= 0.9.4

and you'll be set for Mandrake.

As you don't tell from what source you install VLC, we will have to stay in 'guess mode'.

Probably you compiled VLC without the libdca (formerly a52dec) activated.
libdca can be found at: http://developers.videolan.org/libdca.html

dionea, I have this effect too on my PC. With Gnome 2.12, another one with gnome 2.16 I tried with X11 Video Output and XVideo, both with 'normal' fullscreen and with alternative. Normal gives the described result above, alternative does not resize the window to follscreen (only somewhat). In altern...

vvvua,

for the records: can you tell the solution here, so in case somebody else comes accross the problem, he has chances not only to find that somebody else had the problem, but also a solution?

That's usually what I miss in Forums

I would guess that in the first case, when you start ssh with the go-command, it will be started as the shell that is dying as soon as the go-script finishes. A simple WA could be to start vlc with vlc -I... & to fork it? It isprobably a timing issue, that the go script exits before vlc is compl...

Daleb, As the packager for SUSE I would like to express that I'm sorry one of the features you would like to see is missing. Unfortunately, starting with this evening, I will be off line for several days and will not even be able to make modified packages. After this time, I will gratefully look int...

Yes, there was a problem about the signature file.

As a short term solution, we removed the sig this afternoon )that's why you were able to add it) and we just added the signature again now.

So: now everybody should be able to use the repos again.. yast, rug and zypper, including a valid signature.

There was a problem with the signature of the repo.

This got just fixed in this moment and the repo can again be added to the different tools.

Dominique

Stromsted,

What sort of errors do you get?

Maybe you should open a new thread for it, stating exact error messages (probably with debugging on). Hopefully we can help you in this situation.

Dominique

It seems unfortunately, you're more hitting a bug in openSUSE 10.2 than in our repository. Please also compare to the Novell Bugtracker: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=226084 (here, somebody explains the exact same error with an official openSUSE Update repo). You can try the following ...

Leon,

maybe try creating a new thread, as it might be of wider interest than the topic 'libavahi' not found in Suse linux 10.1.

Sorry... I seemed to be sleepy.

add does not have to be in the line (sa is the short form off service add)

Sorry, my fault.

Pls try again.

Dexter - Are you trying to add it using YaST? - Do you get a message abut the import of the gpg key? You have to accept that one. Otherwise, you can try the the command (in a shell): sudo rug sa -t zypp http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/0.8.6/SuSE/10.2 VLC And this should add it too. Tel...
