Hi I want to send a unicast stream via vlc and receive it on another pc in the same LAN. The sender is OK but the receiver rises an error that it can not open the MRL. I have read the videolan documents about sending and receiving a stream and did the instructions exactly. I read the log file too bu...

Open Tools -> Messages... (set Verbosity to 2) before opening the stream. It should give you more info about the error. Thanks for your help. I did the instruction you gave. When the error occurs, there will be nothing in the file but the following sentence: main info: Running vlc with the default ...

Hi I am trying to compile vlc on ubuntu following the guidelines at http://www.jbkempf.com/blog/post/2008/03/28/Build-VLC-media-player-under-Ubuntu-Hardy-804 But I get some errors during making vlc that I can't understand them. /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXxf86dga collect2: ld returned 1 exit status ...

Hi I complied the source of vlc-0.9.8a under the instruction of "Win32CompileCygwinNew"http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileCygwinNew. vlc.exe can't pop it's window up when double clicked or called under command line. But the vlc.exe process was listed in TaskManager after that. I can just...

A stupid mistake about tar command: we didn't know that we have to change the windows xp settings in a way that it shows the file extensin, then check if the file extension (for contrib) is ".tar" , simply change it to ".bz2" Please complete the document on http://wiki.videolan.o...

Thanks for your help. You reduced our problems by one, omitting ranlib. The next step is to configure script for compiling VLC by using these commands: PATH=/usr/win32/bin:$PATH \ PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/win32/lib/pkgconfig \ CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml" \ LDFLA...

Finally the tar problem solved! We had to type the file name as "contrib-20090118-win32-bin-gcc-4.2.1-sjlj-runtime-3.13-only .tar.tar " instead of "contrib-20090118-win32-bin-gcc-4.2.1-sjlj-runtime-3.13-only .tar " ! The first ".tar" is a part of the file name and the s...

hi all we are trying to compile VLC on Cygwin. When we tried to execute this: tar xf contrib-20080702-win32-bin-gcc-4.2.1-sjlj-runtime-3.13-only.tar.bz2 -C / We got the following error: tar:contrib-20090118-win32-bin-gcc-4.2.1-sjlj-runtime-3.13-only.tar.bz2: cannot open: No such file or directory ta...

But in the document on http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileCygwinNew it isn't marked as optional.
I don't know where the right folder is. I tried it in /usr/win32 and it didn't work.
