Ubuntu 12.04, StreamZap remote. I have lirc installed, and it can see buttons being pushed. I went to VLC, Tools, Preferences, Show settings:All, Interface, Control interfaces an selected "Infrared remote control interface", then under Infrared pointed it at ~/.lircrc I've tried a few diff...

Audio -> Devices -> HDMI whatever

Audio, Audio Devices is greyed out, even while video is playing.

But now the sound is coming from the TV, so never mind!

I have a Dell Inspiron 15 laptop that dual-boots Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04 It works like a peach under Windows. Under Linux, though, when I drag VLC to an external TV connected via HDMI, the sound still plays from the laptop. I poked around in Tools, Preferences but nothing jumped out. Any solutions?

I can confirm that whilst win 7 task manager is active (minimised), the mouse pointer stays active in fullscreen VLC 1.1.4 . Using win7 32bit with nVidia 8400 card.

If I move VLC 0.9.8a running under Windows XP Pro SP3 to my secondary display (TV) and select Fullscreen, it "jumps" over to my primary monitor. Extremely annoying, and it forced me to uninstall and go back to 0.8.6i

I'm trying to build 0.9.8a on a CentOS 5.2 host. I get:

checking for DBUS... configure: error: Couldn't find DBus >= 1.0.0, install libdbus-dev ?

But:

[root@vlc ~]# rpm -qa | grep dbus

dbus-1.0.0-7.el5

you can --disable many things, see ./configure --help Yes, I know. But which do I need to --disable and which do I need to leave alone in order to wind up with a binary that'll do what I want? Frankly, I don't even know what most of those options are. I have no doubt most of them do some really coo...

I want a replacement for the creaky Windows boxes running dozens of instances of WinSend. So, someone suggested VLS. I looked into that, and found out that it's old and bad and deprecated, and that I should use VLC. So, I grabbed the Dag package for 0.8.6d... and it has a bazillion RPM dependencies....
