Hi,
the logs would be more useful if you actually tried to play something...

I've fixed that in SVN. Thanks for reporting

Hi,
the "visible" attribute for a Window is currently ignored... You can call that a bug I'll see what can be done

In fact the check has to be done on p_input. I've fixed it, thanks for reporting.

Hi,
the icon used by the win32 build is defined in share/vlc_win32_rc.rc

Hi,
"vlc -" does work; you can ignore the error messages since vlc tries all its access methods until one works, but you can force the file access with: If it doesn't work it means vlc cannot recognize the type of stream you are trying to read.

The last skin used is automatically saved, you never have to do that manually. However you must launch vlc with the skins2 interface (vlc -I skins2) and not the wxwidgets interface (vlc -I wx). And if you don't specify an interface on the command line, the one saved in the preferences will be used.

Well I know you build it with make ! ;) The question is what is the command executed to link the binary (i.e the last one run by make), like: gcc -Wsign-compare -Wall -pipe -o vlc src/vlc-vlc.o lib/libvlc.a ./modules/misc/memcpy/libmemcpymmx.a ./modules/video_chroma/libi420_rgb_mmx.a ./modules/video...

Hi,
seems to be a typo ? it should be
DstHost = "239.255.12.42"
DstPort = "1234" # (default listening port of vlc)

maybe you are statically linking with livedotcom library ? what is the link command line when you build the executable ?

My complete config is ./configure --enable-skins2 --disable-pda --enable-wxwidgets --disable-opie --disable-macosx --disable-qnx --disable-ncurses --enable-xosd --enable-visual --disable-goom --disable-slp --disable-lirc --disable-joystick --disable-corba --disable-livedotcom --disable-dvdread --ena...

Hi,
if you don't see several tracks in the "audio tracks" menu, there is probably only one on your dvd... does it work with another dvd player ?

Hi,
most of vlc features are in its plugins (lib*_plugin.so) so even if you remove all the optional features, you just don't build the plugins but it will not decrease the size of the main executable. Anyway 9M looks quite big to me, mine is only 5M in debug mode and 600k in release mode !

Hi,
this should be reported to the maintainer of the package then... anyway you can try to compile the latest cvs version of ffmeg yourself (see http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net/download.php)

Hi,
the source code is the same for all platforms, and is supposed to compile everywhere (it it ever does not, it is a portability issue that you should report to us!)

Hi,
vlc supports supports rtsp and multicast, but not the (proprietary) Real Media codecs.

Hello, I am "the cyril" as you call me What do want to add to the chaos skin ? It's just a clone from the original chaos skin for xmms/winamp2 and I was too lazy to implement the mini buttons/counter at the bottom of the playlist but if you have time to do it is will be great

Hi,
yes the window size could be saved in the preferences file, it should not be very difficult...
BTW I am working on an optimization of the image resizing, it will make resize much faster (it is nearly done

Hi, if you zoom on your screenshot, you will notice that Word does no antialiasing at all, so VLC is better ;) Indeed the kerning seems wrong, but skins2 relies on libfreetype2 to render the text, so either I don't use it correctly (I don't see where...), or there is a bug in libfreetype, at least o...

When you say you don't have problems with the wxwindows interface, you probably mean with the *embedded* video in the wxwindows interface ? (you can have an embedded video with the skins2 interface too, or have a seperate video with the wxwindows interface...) So it's probably more a problem with th...

Where have you heard of a 0.7.3 ? I don't think it is for tomorrow

I would be interested in feedback too, because I cannot get sound with native alsa output, whereas the alsa audio output module doesn't give any error message (so I have to use aoss.. (kernel 2.6.6. alsa works with every other programs)

FYI, this functionnaly has just been committed in the SVN version of VLC.

You are right there are not many themes for skins2 but help from people who have time to convert the old skins and make new ones would be greatly appreaciated !

The only way to reduce the skin at the moment is to do it from the task bar. (a function to do it from the interface will be added one day, or another
