The VideoLAN Forums

Dear users, Due to an oversight from my side I 'missed' the deadline to update the GPG key of the repository. It expired 2 days ago and I'm truely sorry for this. The repo is being rebuilt at this moment and as soon as it's completed you can expect and update to happen, which is solving that issue f...

aberrio, As you seem to have trouble compiling VLC on your own, you can also install the vlc packages from the VideoLAN repository. If you want to install without any X-Dependencies, you should go for the package vlc-noX and it's dependencies. It's stripped down to not include any X libs. Should the...

that sounds odd,

can you post me the output of:

rpm -qA "vlc*" "libav*"

please?

But then, being on SUSE 10.0 doesn't make it much easier neither.

There are so many factors that can be wrong... SUSE 10.0 is also pretty old by now.

Is your user allowed to access /dev/dsp? Does /dev/dsp exist?

In most distros I came across so far, there was a group audio granting access to /dev/dsp.

Hello, I see your problem. I'll have to check the possibilities with SLED10SP2... do you happen to know if there is now Qt4 included? This was not part of SUSE Linux 10.1 and would have made it anyhow close to impossible to deploy stable packages for 10.1, as VLC 0.9.2 requires Qt4. I will probably ...

most likely your ld cache is outdated.

try starting
/sbin/ldconfig (as root) and this might help you.

VLC packages from our repositories support SMB access.

Make sure you have the latest version 0.9.2-8.2 (on openSUSE 11.0). Please be aware that we do not have any influence on packaging parameters of the PM repository.. but we (and thus YOU) have an influence on the official ones in the vlc repo.

Hi,

The issue there is that I was disconnected from the net for a way to long time, due to an international move. Expect the repo back in sync with the devel cycle soon (with the next release... almost everything is prepared)

If you talk about the 0.9 releases, then this is no longer part of the package. All the devel support is invested in the Qt interface.

Hi everybody... A big sorry from my side for this. I was in progress of an international move and was disconnected from the net for a way to long time. For this reason I could not update the repository. Finally I am starting to settle in, got my net connection back and, am now just waiting for the n...

Hi, SUSE Linux 10.0 is no longer supported. In fact, upcoming version of VLC will also not appear on SUSE Linux 10.1 anymore. We try to keep support for SUSE distributions as long as they are covered by official Support from Novell. You can consider upgrading your system. I'd just wait 2 weeks and g...

Hi,

SUSE Linux 10.0 is no longer in support cycle of Novell and we dropped it too.
Soon, 10.1 is going to be dropped; the upcoming 0.9 version of VLC is most likely never going to be provided for SL-10.1

the crash with wx 2.8 could actually be tracked down to an error of wxwidgets itself. This patch for wx 2.8 solves such crashes: http://svn.wxwidgets.org/viewvc/wx/wxWidgets/branches/WX_2_8_BRANCH/src/gtk/gnome/gvfs.cpp?r1=44226&r2=51034&view=patch alternative, wxwidgets can also be compiled...

I would say: check the config.log and the output of configure.

at 'detecting FFMPEG', is the answer yes?

It might not have detected a devel lib on which ffmpeg would actually depend on.. and thus just skip it.

Hello,

indeed, those two flags are ignored and I did not even realize it. I removed them from the spec and any upcoming version of the vlc packages will have the spec file corrected in the src rpms.

Thanks for the info

I can only second that... I'm probably not even trying to build any packages for 9.1. You know, there was 9.2, 9.3 and also 10.0 which all already fell out of the support cycle from suse themself. 10.1 is due to fall out of support cycle just now. Support cycle does not mean that nobody helps you, b...

That's a rather difficult question... ./configure --help shows you all the options you have

I just checked and my configure line has about 90 parameters pick your choice..

for mkv, you might be interested in --enable-mkv

Dominique

after the thing with plugin,

please also provide the output of

Argh... sorry for not thinking about that... once more we're bitten by PM :( I now also created i686 packages of VLC to the VLC repo... normally, ours should have a higher version number and thus be 'preferred' over the PM ones (at least in theory, as long as we provide the same arch). I will upload...

with 'to play' I meant you should try the different options that are available. I can not tell you which one is going to work... just try the different video output modes. (and compiz fusion depends a bit.. either you had to activate XGL, then it's in the control panel, desktop effects, or you have ...

Hi,

try to 'play' with the Video Output options in the preferences (Advanced) dialog.

Or another try could be to disable compiz for a test.. I've already seen it eating some video windows somethimes

Hello,

can you try to give me the output of please?

If it's correctly installed, it should show up in the Start menu.

also post me the output for then.

Hello Probin, Good to hear that you dare to make the switch... so welcome! For your issue: libavcodec is actually part of ffmpeg. I assume that you also have the packman repository activated? Try to disable it for the moment, install VLC. Normally, there is not much in PM that you want to update on ...

There is a Trac entry: http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/1453
Check if it's the same.. I actually see it also with older Qt than 4.4.

Add your comments there please.
