Ubuntu feisty vlc nightly and FFMPEG

Postby frenchy82 » 26 Sep 2007 10:29

Hello,

I've tried the vlc nightlies for ubuntu and it's very great to have a repesotory to try vlc 0.9

Il really love it

But of course i have a question : i have some difficulties to read some streams whith it like
mms://vipmms9.yacast.net/bfm_bfmtv (french bfmtv) with an error of codec

Is it a problem of ffmpeg or i have something else to install?

Many thanks for your help i really need it

Cordialement

I think it's an ffmpeg problem

you should try the package from medibuntu repositories

Thanks for your reply funman but i didn't find vlc in the medibuntu repositories
and the official ubuntu vlc must use a very old ffmpeg vesion.

I hope that with gutsy we will have a "good" package of vlc able to read wmv3 and vp6 codec (like with the windows version)

i've no problems at all reading the stream you gave (bfmtv) with both vlc & mplayer.

i'm using gutsy, and a custom ffmpeg, so i don't have the same setup than you :/

can you be specific about the error with that stream ?

like, say exactly what is printed/what happens.

bonne chance ;)

hello

With the offial release of feisty or with the nightly y have the same message

ffmpeg error: cannot open codec (Windows Media Video 3)
main error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `WMV3'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.

The sound is ok but y have no video

With mplayer it's ok but y think that mplayer use w32codecs

Thanks for your help

[fun@zod ~]% ffmpeg -formats 2>&1 |grep wmv3
D V wmv3

that shows that my ffmpeg supports wmv3 decoding.

try that with both official & medibuntu packages

hello

Here is the result from france

ffmpeg -formats 2>&1 |grep wmv3
D V wmv3

So, that's should mean that my ffmpeg is ok with wmv3 but not my vlc?
