Framebuffer output cannot get terminal mode error

Postby fucai1116 » 14 Aug 2007 10:37

Hi,
When I ran VLC in init3, VLC outputed video to framebuffer very well. In init5, I executed vlc on Gnome terminal, error occured.

vlc --vout fb filename
Error: fb video output error: cannot get terminal mode (Invalid argument).

Can anyone help me solve this problem?
Thanks

I have the same problem here.
I finally build successfully vlc for arm.
I try to start vlc from a ssh session

Code: Select all

vlc --vout fb --fbdev=/dev/fd0 movie.mp4
here is the log related to the frame buffer:

Code: Select all

fb video output warning: disabling tty handling, use with caution because there is no way to return to the tty. fb video output error: cannot get terminal mode (Invalid argument)
(My user have read/write permission on /dev/fd0)
Any Idea ?

Hi:
I also got the same problem, but I commented out those codes, it works for me, but I am not sure what will be the side effects.

Regards

idiot.

I commented out as well and it does work, my main side effect is that is working now :)
