The VideoLAN Forums

Unfortunately, JVLC does not seem to be actively developed or supported.

But see this informative post: viewtopic.php?f=32&t=56939

So, no additional thoughts on this? Is this the right forum for this question - are the JVLC guys reading this, or is there a better way to get in touch with them? This is really an important issue for us...

Well, the full program is posted above; it's in Java and it certainly doesn't use XShmGetImage (whatever that is) directly - as I said, it's a very slight variation on the VlcClient.java file in JVLC's samples directory. While it's possible that Java uses XShmGetImage under the hood somehow, whateve...

Hello, I'm trying to use JVLC as part of a larger Java application. Things seem to work OK on Windows. On Linux, however, I'm getting an error from X11 video output: [????????] x11 video output error: X11 request 147.4 failed with error code 8: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) X Error of fail...

Hi,

So, I tried to install the nightly from http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/intrepid-amd64/, and I noticed that the Packages file is empty (and so is Packages.gz). Am I looking in the wrong place?

Thx,

OK, I'm seeing what appears to be the same issue - but only on the Mac. I'm using VLC 0.9.8a. Basically, the first time VLC sends a GET_PARAMETER request to the server, I get tons of "Discarding interleaved RTP or RTCP packet" messages, and have to force-quit the VLC process... Works like ...

Many thanks for your detailed reply. Our module that uses VLC is on the server side, so I guess we'll just try running VLC in a separate process and controlling it through telnet or rc interface - sounds easier than doing the 64-bit compilation at this point.

Thanks for the reply. Is it possible to build 64-bit Mac VLC from the source? We are using VLC as a part of a cross-platform application containing a streaming video server. The application is written in Java; VLC being 32-bit only means that we can't use Java 6 on the Mac (since it's 64-bit only.)

Are there any plans to produce a 64-bit version of VLC on the Mac (or a universal version that would include Intel-64)?

The vlc libraries are 32-bit, at least those I have. Does JVLC work with Java 5 for you (on the Mac) ?
