Really ? Which version of vlc are you using ? This is supposed to work...

when i try to build VLC from de sources, (./configure) teh sistem say that it can find libmad.

Then you have to install libmad development package first ...

Hi,
I've just talked of that with Ipkiss today, and it seems the code to do that is already present, but is not activated because it was quite slow and leading to strange side effects. Maybe we'll give it another try.
Nice skin anyway! By the way what is the visualization plugin you are using?

Are you using VLC 0.8.5 ? If not, your problem is not a bug in the skins, it's just that they use some new features of VLC.

OK... accents *are* allowed, but you have to encode the XML file in UTF-8, and not ISO-8859-1 as you did. Just try to edit your xml with an UTF8 compatible editor. But if you removed accents you should not have this error any more, there must be something else...

Maybe it is enough, but when you see that only 12 skins have been submitted in 2 years, there is a problem somewhere...
Apart from the fact there is no real tutorial yet, I cannot believe that only 11 people in the world were able to create a skin !

hi,
you should see some errors in the logs (run vlc with "--extraintf logger" option or look at Miscellaneous>Messages in the popup menu)

Great!!
Now the only missing thing is a user-friendly submission system

Hmm the problem is that when a skin is compressed in zip format, the file names are converted to lower case when extracted (I did that to solve issues with winamp2 skins). But as you wrote "iPod.png" and not "ipod.png" in theme.xml, the file cannot be found on linux as the file s...

Hi,
indeed the "kbps" and "kHz" are not supposed to work, they are just here to look like the original xmms skin
Maybe I'll implement that one day if I find a way to do it...

Salut, lorsque je decompresse vlc 0.8.4a ..je le configure : pas de problème ... et là, lorsque je veux faire le make : make: *** Pas de cibles spécifiées et aucun makefile n'a été trouvé. Arrêt. J'ai quelques doutes sur le "pas de problème" puisque le but de configure est de créer les Mak...

Hi,
I've just added such a variable: it is "vlc.hasVout".
I guess it will please Xanax too

This should be fixed now. Please check the next build.

Ahaaa... actually animated bitmaps are only supported for Buttons and Checkboxes, not yet Images. But at the moment you can emulate an image with a button with no action...

Ok, meanwhile you can still use "nbFrames" instead of "nbframes"

Hi, there are many errors in your XML, as you can easily see if you try to open it with a web browser for instance. - line 32: a " is missing after "#FF00FF - line 39: the line ends with '/>' instead of '>' - line 54: the "id" attribute is missing - line 60: the line ends with '/...

ooops the documentation is wrong, the attribute is "nbFrames", not "nbframes" ! But as this is inconsistent with other attributes, which are all in lower case, I ve just fixed that in the code, so in the next test release / nightly build it will be "nbframes" as it shou...

Ok I reproduced that on linux too... it is a bug in the skins module, due to the fact you are using " not vlc_video.isVisible" as a bool variable. Before the proper fix in vlc, a workaround is to swap your checkbox states to use "vlc_video.isVisible" instead (and the same for vlc...

Hi,
where can we find this skin ? Do you have the same problem if you quit with "Ctrl+Q" shortcut for instance ?

When you make a skin for VLC does it always have to be in 2 parts? One controls window and one video window? Of course not, the skin engine has been made so that you can do anything you want ;) BTW you have examples of one-window skins on the (small) skins download page: http://www.videolan.org/vlc...

Hi,
all major linux distributions are supposed to include VLC Which one are you using ?

Sure current rendering works for both Linux and Windows. But doesn't Linux also have its own text rendering system? Shouldn't that be used? It wouldn't be hard to send a question to the system and ask; Hey!, what OS is this? And use the system text rendering. Yes, Linux also have its text rendering...

Hi, I guess you at least installed libdvdcss ? ;) When you open an encrypted DVD, libdvdread tries to load the shared library "libdvdcss.so.2", which must be installed in the standard location of shared libraries (i.e /lib, /usr/lib, /lib64, ..., or a directory listed in /etc/ld.so.conf or...

Hi,
as you can see in http://developers.videolan.org/vlc/NEWS this has been added in VLC 0.8.4
