Thanks JB.

Found it from the log. Had an extra backslash following the device string.

Aloha, We are porting a custom interface module to VLC 1.0.5 on OS/X 10.6, and are having trouble figuring out how to make CD playback of an individual track, work. The request we made was to play "cdda:///dev/rdisk1", having set the "cdda-track" global variable to the desired tr...

Thanks very much for you support. We've resolved our issues and are moving ahead with VLC 1.0.x.

Thanks. Was able to compile, but failed on the packaging step: for i in vlc.xcodeproj Resources README.MacOSX.rtf ; do \ cp -R ./extras/package/macosx/$i ./tmp/extras/package/macosx/; \ done REVISION=`git describe --always` && \ cat ./extras/package/macosx/Info.plist | \ sed "s/#REVISIO...

I'm trying to build VLC 0.9.9 (yes I really need this version :? ) on Snow Leopard: OS/X version 10.6.2 Xcode version 3.2.1 with SDKs: 10.4: (8S2167), 10.5: (9J61) and 10.6: (10M2003) 1. I downloaded and unpacked vlc-0.9.0.tar.bz2, set the environment variables per the "Quick Steps on Mac OS X ...

Building vlc 0.8.6h on OS/X 10.4.11. Used "Compile VLC on Mac OS X" from the wiki as a guide. 1. Checked pre-requisites and installed git. Already had xcode 2.5. 2. Downloaded sources. 3. cd'd to extras/contrib and ran ./bootstrap. 4. Ran make src, but had a number of issues. a. faad2 woul...

I can rip and encode using CDex and play the resulting flac file in vlc just fine. The only error I see is that about 20 initial buffers are lost in the playback. I am using CDex version 1.70 beta 2, and the in_flac.dll supplied with the program. The CDex version is dated June, 2006, so the flac enc...

I'm using vlc0.8.6d on xp home. When I rip an audio cd track to flac, I get what appears to be a good file, but it won't play in vlc. My streaming parameters are: :sout=#transcode{acodec=flac,ab=192,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ogg,dst="C:\Documents and Settings\Tom\Desktop\Tes...

Thanks. Builds fine now if I checkout sources and run: export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4 cd extras/contrib ./bootstrap make cd ../.. ./bootstrap ./configure make During the contribs build, make got stuck on the gnupg/gcrypt libraries so I had to cancel, manually download the needed source files t...

I'm running OS/x10.4.11 with Xcode 2.5. For some development we are doing, I really want to track the progress of 0.9.0, so I downloaded sources from the svn trunk, made the contribs, bootstrapped and configured ($ ./configure --with-macosx-sdk) successfully. The make fails with: Making all in macos...

Thank you for pointing out my error. I've updated the wiki instructions to suggest that the INSTALL.Win32 file be referenced for the location of the relevant contrib package. When I download and install the file (having removed the wrong versions first), I note that the root for the libraries is: &q...

I have, per the wiki page on "How to Compile on Windows Using Cygwin": 1. Installed a new, complete Cygwin. 2. Downloaded and unpacked the source tree for vlc.0.8.c (vlc-0.8.6c.tar.bz2) 3. Downloaded and unpacked the pre-compiled contrib libraries (contrib-20070530-win32-bin-gcc-3.4.5-only...

This is already being tracked. Even though the Trax entry (#5 - should give an indicaton of how old this is) carries the "highest" priority, it keeps getting shoved back to "the next milestone". So far, it remains unassigned. I am unable to listen to a local file while doing othe...

Isn't it about time this problem was fixed. It's been a critical issue for me for over a years and stops us from deploying VLC on a larger scale. Regardless of whether or not the payer was designed for streaming, the fact remains that a great deal of usage is playback of local files. Yet again, this...

The VLC web site is currently reporting over 13,000,000 downloads of VLC 0.8.2. Is this real?

I'm trying to get 16-bit PCM data from AAC and Vorbis files in order to write them to an audio CD. How do I set the transcoding parameters in order to do this?

I'm using VLC 0.8.1 to play audio on a P4/1.4ghz/1gb/W2k system. When I have a file playing and start Mozilla Firefox, I get a break in the output and the following log entries. [00000271] main audio output warning: output PTS is out of range (71866), clearing ou [00000271] main audio output warning...

We had to hack cdda.c to make this work, but the style of the fix has issues which stopped us from checking it back in. Mainly, we can play a single track, but cannot play the entire CD. Also issues with playlist integration. If you would like the code, please e-mail me.

The BBC site for the project is: http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/projects/dirac I found the Overview section quite revealing. It looks like they are serious about releasing a competative codec thats not encumbered by a load of questionable patents. Licensing uses the Mozilla & Netscape Public License. G...

Are there any plans to support the BBC's Dirac video format?

I'm interested in the ability to transcode at compute, rather than audio output speeds. An interim release would be of real value.

Does VLC write metadata to a transcoded output file. In particular, ID3V1 and ID3V2 tags to .mp3 files and Vorbis comments to .ogg files?

Is there a release date for VLC 0.7.2?

I would like to capture an audio stream in preparation for writing the file to an audio CD. How do I specify the sout parameters to get this format?

We looked at skinning, but our look-and-feel would have been extremely difficult, is not impossible to do. An example is fade-in/fade-out of our console controls while listening to audio and viewing an album cover. Normally, the album cover is displayed. If the mouse is moved over the controls area,...
