The option vlc:quit only works if you let the file play through (i.e. reaches the end of file). Using the stop command does not works as the file has not reached the end. I am using VLC within MythTV so am working out how to map the stop button of the remote control to the quit command of VLC, this ...

What distro etc. would you reccomend for building under linux?
I want to look at some playlist/media stuff and it looks better to debug under linux rather than windows (debugging a DLL isn't easy!)

Hi

Actually I posted that the compile runs successfully but vlc does not run and does not give any indication of an error.
You are reporting an issue with gettext - are these 2 issues dependent somehow?

Thanks for clarification.

Did you copy the .dll to the same directory as the .exe?

I am using Cygwin to build VLC under Windows to look at Playtree and there are problems with it.
What is the reccomended method of debugging under Windows?
Thanks.

Great. Have you tried the media library in the development versions ?

Do you mean the nightly builds?

What are your programming skills ?

Reasonable C/C++ amongst other things.

With the way I use VLC it would be useful to have a media library function.
This would be a menu item like playlists so I was wondering - is there a guide to add new functions (e.g. with wxWidgets) or do I have to reverse engineer it from an existing function?
Thanks.

OK it works :) But it works badly for me, image is far from perfect: http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/8572/vlcsnap559895ww1.th.png And the sound is stuttering all the way :?

AFAIK .mpg files don't have meta info which would be why we're not using it as the video's title. Of course, I might be wrong... please provide a video sample if you know it to be otherwise. You are correct, programme information in broadcasts (transport streams) is in a section called PSI (Program...

Well, yes, but C is faster for many tasks and more supported in many platforms.

Which platforms have C compilers but not C++ then?

Why is Linux kernel in C and not in C++ ?

Legacy, pure and simple.

Well, he is almost as great as Chuck Norris (this probably won't mean anything, if not visit Cdoeproject)

Cygwin plus Eclipse with CDT.
Crimson Editor as a general purpose editor.

You can code too :D :P I'm not a glory hound! Seriously, it's something that is sorely needed and will help me learn about Videolan, then there are a couple of things I've been thinking about. Also looking at intergrating Cygwin with Eclipse/CDT to give Windows usabilty without intrroducing another...

Does it do completion? I use it for editing and run gcc under Cygwin separately, I think trying the building withing Eclipse/CDT is yet another option to support for very little gain. With CDT it shows members, include hierarchies etc. which is the main thing I was after. I am now looking into Doxy...

Sorry ? Don't know how to help then.

I have found that Eclipse with the CDT plugin works and preserves te DOS/Unix file format.

Well, VS2005 will not be able to compile anything for you
But you can use it to develop and compile with cygwin. Be sure to dos2unix the files before sending them to the lists.

If you just need an editor, I would tell to use notepad++

Not what I was after.

The title says it all, I have VS2005 but it doesn't let you choose between DOS and Unix file formats and I don't want to break things so...
Any suggestions?

Can you come on IRC to chat with Trax ? I have got it to build using the nightly build (vlc-snapshot-branch-0.8.6-bugfix-20070618.tar.tar) and the contribution package (contrib-20070530-win32-bin-gcc-3.4.5-only.tar.bz2) and Cywgin with gcc 3.4.4 and the following script from the Win32Compile Wkiki ...

Can you come on IRC to chat with Trax ?

I am trying a few different options, will post another reply when I have a set of results.

What is your compiler version ?

I am having the same problems with the current version of Cygwin, GCC 3.4.4.

I've added a new howto to the wiki which should cover the existing problems with Cygwin and work with latest svn again: http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileCygwin

This works for me as well, nice page for those running Windows!

Here's my results so far: - Audio is my biggest issue but that may be because it finds a number of audio devices including my bluetooth device and (I'm guessing here) trying to output to too many devices? Can I stipulate one with an "aout" switch? - Video gets lots of "PTS out of ran...

Can libvlc be used on vs2005? I need to use libvlc.dll .I have find it for a long time on a lot of webs, But i can't find it , anyone has it? Can you send libvlc.dll to me (cwk1270@163.com)? or give me a download link? Install VLC for Windows and you will find it in the install directory. Elaine :)
