VLC 0.9.3 Compile Error demux.c (Probably my fault though)

[bdk907]

My ultimate goal is to build a replacement for a Windows streaming server. I'm trying to source the video/audio via VLC and have Windows users use Windows Media Player to play back the stream, otherwise I'd use out of the box VLC. Compiling box is a relatively fresh (Hardy Heron) Ubuntu install that has had all the dependencies installed 'apt-get build-dep vlc'. I'm using gcc 4.2.3.

I've successfully compiled and made FFMPEG with the following flags:

Code: Select all

After successfully bootstrapping VLC, I configure VLC these flags:

There was a lot more output during the 'make' process but not really knowing what is busted, I don't know what else to add to the post. I had found this post that talked about adding '--enable-swscale' to FFMPEG, which I did, but that still didn't fix the issue. Hopefully I can write a how-to on getting the new VLC compiled and installed to support mp3 when this is all said and done with.

Thanks!

demux.c:173: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘offset_t’

This is the issue... Take a bit older FFMpeg.

I went ahead and patched the files and it compiled perfectly and now I can see my audio blocks & buffers incrementing on the receiving end of a stream when I encode with mp3.

It seems as I fix/accomplish one issue, another one pops up. Going to do some searching first, but I can't seem to get any video displayed locally (using my new newly compiled vlc 0.9.3) from files that were captured (h264, mpg, wmv2, divx2, etc) with vlc 0.8.6e (Ubuntu build) nor with my v4l device. The audio is recognized though and is played locally and streamed. I figured out v4l wasn't enabled by default and I was able to enable it and now get the 'v4l' option to capture from, though nothing shows up visually.

Is there a command that'll show which options VLC is compiled with? I know I'm missing a enable command and I want to compare a working 0.8.6e to the one I'm trying to compile to see if something isn't enabled that should be. I thought I remembered reading of one but I can't find that post anymore. For instance, running 'ffmpeg' shows the configuration options that were used when it was compiled.

Thanks for an awesome product and the volunteer time it takes to help others understand how VLC works!

hello,

Code: Select all

vlc -vvv

should do the trick

[bdk907]

Thanks for the reminder, but 'vlc -vvv' doesn't appear to work on 0.8.6e:

Sorry for the quick re-post but I just noticed in './configure --help' I'm not seeing the options '--enable-ffmpeg' and '--with-ffmpeg-mp3lame' that I configured 0.9.3 with, is there another list of options? I only ask because I'm trying to stream using the 'Windows wmv/asf' profile and I get an error of 'stream_out_transcode stream out error: cannot find audio encoder (module:any fourcc:wma)'.

On a very positive point I woke up this morning and I'm able to play an h264/mpga file that I had recorded earlier with an earlier version of 0.8.6e.

Yes, ffmpeg is needed.
