SOLVED. This issue occers when exporting a vlc display to an Xserver that has image format set to LSB from a client that is MSB or vice versa. Changing the image format setting in the X server fixes the problem.

Running vlc locally is not an option for me so I'm using running vlc-1.0.5 with -V x11 and --x11-display options to export the video output window to an X server running on another machine. When I set --x11-display to a Solaris X server it works fine (colors are normal), but when I set --x11-display...

UPDATE: It does work! The Trickplay Reverse widget doesn't appear until you open an RTSP stream.

Thanks for the reply Remi. I'm referring to the toolbar element in the "Custom interface..." window labeled 'Trickplay Reverse'. When I say it doesn't work, what I mean is that it doesn't appear in the toolbar after you add it to a toolbar and close the toolbar editor window. Other toolbar...

When building a custom interface using VLC 1.0.5 the "trickplay reverse" widget doesn't show up in the interface after closing the "Custom Interface" window. Tried this on 3 different OSes with same result.

What am I doing wrong? Please help!

Thanks.

Hehe, talking to myself some more. For those interested I've created a working remote VLC with exported X video display by upgrading to 1.0.5 and using the command line options below: vlc -V x11 --reset-config --reset-plugins-cache I think I'm almost there! But now I am having an issue with distorte...

I know I'm just talking to myself here but I've made some progress: By using command line option -V X11 I think I'm correctly telling VLC to use X11 as the video output window. As a reminder, I am exporting my display to another Linux machine. Now I get the following error: X Error of failed request...

UPDATE: as a sanity check I ran the ancient version of VLC included in debian etch and I'm having the same problem with no video output window when exporting my display. The GUI exports fine. Here is the output: VLC media player 0.8.6a Janus [00000001] main private warning: config file /home/warrior...

UPDATE:

I forgot to mention something important: I am exporting my VLC display to another Linux machine. The VLC GUI exports fine and I've also tested it with simple apps like xclock.

Hello, I'm having an issue with VLC 1.0.5 - I get no video output window. The GUI comes up fine. I've tried to play multiple video formats with the same result. I'm running on a PowerPC with Debian Linux. Using the debian package installer is not an option because the vast number of VLC dependencies...
