PARTIAL RESOLUTION. There is a command line that will allow vlc to accurately display U.S. ATSC OTA. Any GUI or menu capability, however, still seems off in the future. This post: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=43284&p=137538&hilit=atsc#p137538 contains the key. (With ref...

RESOLVED. Hmm. Of course, one of the first things I had tried was the old standby of deleting the vlcrc file *within* ~/.vlc; that didn't work, but removing the entire directory (and letting vlc reconstitute it at startup) did work, instantly. Changed a few settings in the Preferences, and I'm now g...

My Slackware 10 system (vlc 0.8.6a) for some time now has simply stopped playing much of anything -- not dvds, nor audio or music files. No segmentation faults or obvious errors; I just don't get any useful output. Curiously, however, I can still pipe hdtv input from my tuner card to vlc with comple...

No error. I rebooted and the problem went away.

Vector Linux 4.0 (Slackware based) gcc version 3.3.6 kernel 2.4.29 Compilation ot the source code halted with undefined references to IPV6_V6ONLY. This fixed the problem: I added to the top of src/network/rootwrap.c: #ifndef IPV6_V6ONLY # define IPV6_V6ONLY 0 #endif Compilation then completed normal...

Thanks for the reply. In that case, you might consider changing the ./configure warning regarding that situation. At present, configure detects the absence of unicode support in wxwidgets, but does not state that compilation will be impossible without it.

wxGTK-2.6.2 This is the error message I've been getting in SVN: if g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../.. -DSYS_LINUX -I../../../include `top_builddir="../../.." ../../../vlc-config --cxxflags plugin wxwidgets` -Wsign-compare -Wsign-compare -Wall -pipe -MT libwxwidgets_plugin_a-open.o -MD ...

Sorry, I can no longer post my complete config.log because (after backing up the entire partition) I bit the bullet and managed to upgrade to gcc 3.3.6 without breaking everything. (I can't believe it myself). I now get a complete make, though the small errors I mentioned persist. I wish I knew gtk+...

gcc 3.2.2 kernel 2.4.28 I have been trying subversion vlc in hopes I would eventually find the fixes for a few things in vlc 0.8.2 that affect me (hotkeys only go forward in files, not backwards, gui playlist doesn't loop), but now compiling the subversion I get a doomsday message, a compiler error....

Vector Linux 4.0 kernel 2.4.28 gcc 3.2.2 As in previous tests of 0.8.2, the "repeat all" and "repeat one" buttons in the Playlist window do not function. I was able to get a repeat playback via checking that in Preferences/Playlist/General and saving the new Preferences. So the p...

Vector Linux 4.0 (slackware based) kernel 2.4.28 gcc 3.2.2 For fun I tried to use skins. Got a segmentation fault. Please post if you want additional information. Here, I think, are the relevant lines from: vlc -vvv -I skins2 [00000000] main root debug: VLC media player - version 0.8.2-test2 Janus -...

Vector Linux 4.0 (Slackware-based)
kernel 2.4.28
gcc 3.2.2

Everything I could throw at it played perfectly.
Hotkeys now work for audio-only files.
Left pane of Preferences menu is now expanding appropriately.

However, in the playlist, neither "repeat" function works (no repeats happen).

Vector Linux 4.0 (Slackware-based) kernel 2.4.28 P4 2.53 GHz Second report: I really like the work developers have been doing on x264, and have very recent versions of both x264 and ffmpeg. As a (faintly ridiculous) experiment, I tried to use vlc streaming to re-expand a file I compressed using menc...

Vector Linux 4.0 (Slackware-based) kernel 2.4.28 P4 2.53 GHz Report: Great work, guys! Compilation was smooth. Hard to find anything that doesn't work immediately. The left-pane of the Preferences window does not adjust dynamically. This makes it difficult, or even impossible, to get into some of th...

Vector Linux 4.3 -- (slackware based) vlc 0.8.0 and 0.8.1 Has anyone else noticed that the vlc GUI re-sizes itself in fullscreen mode? It looks like the GUI is trying to match the size it would need to be in order to appear within a displayed window for that file/stream type. For example, playing a ...

regarding: vlc 0.8.0-0.8.1 Hi- This is almost too silly even to mention. At least on the North American extended DVD LOTR Fellowship of the Ring set, there is an "extra" hidden spoof of LOTR appearing on Title 3. Does anybody else get a "squashed" video output on this spoof now? ...

Thank you Sigmund -- and you put it very politely, on top of everything. See what happens when I don't go back and COMPLETELY read my original post?!! I meant to observe the obvious, that in 0.7.2 but not in 0.8.0 the raw dv demuxer seems to jump in before ffmpeg. But what is curious is why the same...

Update: My distro uses submountd/subfs, so that might explain some of the problem. (I know for a fact that I now must run vlc as root (or with sudo) to view dvds). But also please note that according to the messages I copied in my original post, the rawdv demuxer in 0.7.2 was recognizing raw dv. Als...

Update: I have confirmed that this is NOT an ffmpeg problem. man ffplay says: "FFplay is a very simple and portable media player using the FFmpeg libraries and the SDL library." The following runs successfully: ffplay /mnt/dv/Part1/PART009.dv So my present compiled version of ffmpeg is fin...

Hi, vector linux 4.3 (slackware-based, kernel 2.6.7) I am posting relevant sections from the vlc message window regarding play of the identical raw dv file in vlc 0.7.2 and vlc 0.8.0. Play was successful in 0.7.2 (on another partition running vl 4.0 and kernel 2.4.26), unsuccessful in 0.8.0. Do the ...

Update (edited): Does any of the following make using the card with vlc sound reasonable to people knowledgeable about vlc? Does something like the command lines below obviate the need for a patch? I have found this: http://www.pchdtv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=80 "I have done everything necessa...

In July 2005, due to the "broadcast flag," free as in free speech hdtv would seem to be at an end in the United States (see http://www.eff.org/broadcastflag/ ). After that time, it will be illegal to purchase, or even to use, equipment that ignores this "broadcast flag." However,...

System: Vector Linux 4.0 (Slackware 9.0 based)

On my system, in fullscreen mode, vlc 0.7.2 fails to blank (make black) about the bottom 1/16 of the screen.

Thank you, Sigmund.

You were right. Apparently I forgot to configure the new ffmpeg download with --enable-pp. When I configured and installed ffmpeg again, vlc made and installed fine.
