vlc -I qt

Hmmm i 'm no gdb expert.

I would send sigkill and then do a backtrace of all threads (thread apply all bt (Ithink))
The infinite loop is surely a bug maybe the dsame as the floating point

You can also try to run in valgrind and see if you can get a backtrace

I think you should post the patch to vlc-devel@ videolan.org (and here).
So that people find it f they do a search. And if it's clean it should be incorporated in next vlc release

having vlc running continously seems inefficient.

What about:
while true; do vlc mms://.... :stream-time=120 --video-filter=scene ...... vlc:quit ; mv "last jpeg" construction-`date`.jpg; sleep 600; done

Add --enable-debug in your configure line if not already present and get a bactrace with gdb

does vlc -vvv --no-plugins-cache --list |grep avcodec produces any warning (in yellow) ? Does it lists avcodec ?

Well first we could try debugging the problem you have with 0.8.6.h

Then you can add the etch repo to your /etc/apt/sources.list and force the version of vlc in apt-get install

Yes using libvlc.

Also noting that decoding in ffmpeg itself and mplayer builds also work fine no matter what the -r , ffmpeg fiddles with the code and mplayer syncs to it You should have told us that in the first message. While I certainly can't speak for ffmpeg, why should they be responsible to keep their code co...

What vlc version do you use?

For me it looks like you use pulseaudio on top of ALSA and so should use the alsa:// module in 1.0.x or the v4l2 module in 0.9.x

reinstall libavcodec libavutil libavformat libswscale and libpostproc

Could you do the following command in a terminal: " vlc -vvv --no-plugins-cache --list --color |grep -i ffmpeg"

And report ant warning (yellow) lines

and if it lists ffmpeg or avcodec in the last part

vlc -vvv --no-plugins-cache --list |grep avcodec.

Most likely you installed some new libavcodec libraries from a PPA which are not compatible.

Is that on sid ?

Try with --v4l2-use-libv4l2

Something is wrong with your libavcodec or the avcodec module of vlc.
What's your ffmpeg version ? So you have seevral libavcodec installed ?
What does ffmpeg -formats says

Hi, Thanks for the answer. I tried with --disable-skins2, the compilation is OK, but huum, when I launch the cvlc programm, I see no video (even with the --fullscreen option) run vlc -vvv, read the messages or paste them here I writed about the subtitles problemes here : http://forum.videolan.org/v...

As it woks in 1.1.0, we need to find out what commit fix it and backport it to the 1.0-bugfix branch.

Reading the log on the ts demuxer should be a good starting point

Try with the v4l2 module rather than v4l

Could you install the vlc-dbg package and produce a backtrace with gdb

Did you compile FFmpeg yourself ? if yes did you do "make install" ? If no, are you sure vlc configure and vlc at runtime pick that version of FFmpeg ? does ffmpeg -formats list mp2v for encoding ? The debugs line before "cannot open encoder" could be interesting. Also note for y...

Hmmm yes. It's missing from the tarballs. Either use git (or download the file from gitweb) or disable skins2 at configure time.

What's the subtiltles pb, btw ? What's your libass version ?

vlc --list |grep invert will tell you if the filter is present

and vlc --video-filter invert to use it

You need to upgrade to 1.0.x to have the video embedded in the controler

It seems that your vlc installation is buggy.

check: dpkg -l "*vlc*"

check that all package installed (line staring by ii) are of the same version.
delete your plugins cache (~/.cache/vlc)

to make it completly explicit: automake and libtool (and aclocal but normally it's in the same package as automake)

And about AM_PATH_LIBGCRYPT, you need to install libgcrypt-dev
