The VideoLAN Forums

Hi. I got this same error as well. I skipped the zvbi module and got much further, but not after several workarounds. I detail more below. For any of the developers, my summarized list of questions is as follows: is the m4 workaround below correct? is libpthreadGC2.a broken, or if there is another w...

Okay. Thanks for the confirmation. I agree with your points above. However, I do want to expand on the following: In order for configure to pick up the location, I added a --with-contrib=contrib/i586-mingw32msvc sh extras/package/win32/configure.sh --host=i586-pc-mingw32msvc --with-contrib=contrib/i...

Hi all. I spent some time yesterday trying to compile VLC 1.2 on my Windows XP machine. I used the VLC 2.0.3 source tar and followed the guide in http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileMSYS, but still ran into several issues. After much debugging, I managed to get it working on my machine. I want to u...

I'm not familiar with the code, but I took a quick look and I think the relevant section is here: \vlc\modules\access\http.c. case ACCESS_GET_META: p_meta = (vlc_meta_t*)va_arg( args, vlc_meta_t* ); if( p_sys->psz_icy_name ) vlc_meta_Set( p_meta, vlc_meta_Title, p_sys->psz_icy_name ); if( p_sys->psz...

Yup. The "usr" directory maps to MSYS/1.0.

The cp -v /usr/win32/share/aclocal/* m4/ effectively expands to the following:

Source: C:\msys\1.0\win32\share\aclocal
Target: C:\msys\1.0\home\claupacius <or whatever your windows user name is>\vlc\m4

Hope this helps.

Now, we need a full patch and merge :) Thanks for the gentle reminder. ;) Unfortunately, there's been little stirring on the dvdnav mailing list this past week. Considering that we're entering holiday season, it may take a while.... Is it worth the trouble to patch libdvdnav separately for VLC? If ...

Send me a PM with your email address, and I will email you the libdvdnav_plugin.dll. You should be able to drop it in your C:\Program Files\VLC\plugins folder.

I don't have a Mac, so that's going to have to be up to Roger (or anyone else)

Thanks

[Edit:As roger said. I did not see his response]

For those interested in the latest version: http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/dvd ... 01612.html

Based on what you posted, you may have the same issue as here: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=93181 C:/msys/1.0/win32/lib/libRenderer.a(FBO.obj):FBO.cpp:(.text+0x565): undefined reference to `__gxx_personality_sj0' C:/msys/1.0/win32/lib/libRenderer.a(FBO.obj):FBO.cpp:(.text+0x57b...

I actually went through all the steps three months ago (September of 2011). I don't recall making any adjustments, though I may have done so without thinking twice. Note that I was building on a Windows XP machine.

If you're encountering problems, can you post more detail?

I sent off the email to the group. I post it verbatim below for anyone interested. Thanks. Email Hi all. I've written a patch for jumping to a time in searching.c. I emailed something similar to this group a year ago, but there didn't seem to be much interest then. I am emailing again because there ...

Please re-send. The project is now alive again. Okay. Sorry for the delay, but I ended up rewriting a good part of the code. The new version now handles those outlier dvds I've encountered (strange time maps: I won't bore anyone with the details). I also did some bug fixing (seeking on MENU fails)....

So it would not hurt to try to push harder on the dvdnav mailing list. Okay. I will give them another try later this week/next week. I didn't want to come across as pushy, especially in a project for which I have had no involvement. My other thoughts are... searching.c is currently 18.9KB. The prop...

Thanks for the bump. I didn't think there were any other followers of this issue. I emailed the DVDNav mailing list because 90% of the change needs to be made in libdvdnav. VLC uses libdvdnav for dvd playback, and libdvdnav needs to expose a new method to handle seek by time. The mailing list seemed...

I'd also recommend you upgrade from JVLC to vlcj (http://code.google.com/p/vlcj/)
I don't think JVLC will work against the 1.1 version of vlc (significant API changes)

Also, JVLC is unsupported. sherington does a great job of fielding questions/issues.

Hope this helps.

I downloaded required dll's and copied manually to bin directory of msys. after that came across different issue . Entry point not found. error is the procedure enttry point g_assertion_message could not be located in the dynamic link library libglib-2.0.0.dll So, do you now have a file at C:\msys\...

On my machine, the full path of libglib-2.0-0.dll is C:\msys\1.0\bin\libglib-2.0-0.dll. When I go to Properties -> Version tab, the version is 2.18.2.0 (I haven't updated for a few months) I would check to see if you have a file in the same location. Otherwise, please post full output from the error...

Back in 2010-07, sherington said he didn't have access to a MacOS machine. http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=56939&start=140#p257334 . I don't think the situation has changed.... If you're feeling adventurous, you can try implementing it yourself. The code for the Windows and Li...

Yes, as sherington noted, vlc version would be useful, as a vlc developer could confirm whether or not this issue is version-related.

I only have a few H264 - MPEG4 files and I would not notice timing differences of < 1 second. Sorry, but that's all I can offer.

I would use vlcj. You can follow the thread here: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=56939&start=160. If you start with the TestPlayer, it should be straightforward enough. I use vlcj in eclipse (on Windows XP), and integration was issue free. Also, as Remi indicated, use a VLC v...

I've noticed a few timing issues myself, but these can be traced back to vlc. vlcj just calls libvlc (see code below). You should be able to reproduce against vlc (You should list what version of vlc you are using. I'm using 1.1.4. Also, I'm mostly on Windows XP SP3) What type of media/file is it? D...

Here is a screenshot with the error I get w/o intl.dll: Hmm... sorry, no good ideas. I just checked my local machine and I don't have intl.dll in either C:\msys\1.0\ or C:\MinGW\. My pkg-config.exe works fine without it. If I were to offer a weak guess, I would say Operating System issue? (I have W...

Fwiw, I checked all three of my machines and none have a C:\msys\1.0\bin\intl.dll I don't remember having any errors with regards to intl.dll. I've compiled 1.1.4 recently. Maybe this is 1.2/git related? Otherwise, see if you can post the original error, and someone else can offer ideas.... Congratu...

Ok. Done. Thanks. http://wiki.videolan.org/UnixCompile#Possible_problems

After some searching, I figured out I was missing a library (libx11-xcb-dev) I've reposted the steps below. Note that I used the 1.1.4 sourcecode tarball. The git is probably easier j-b (or VLC devs): Is it okay if I modify the wiki to include the sudo apt-get for the libxcb libraries? sudo apt-get ...
