Unable to play .mp2

Postby geoffleach » 16 Sep 2009 23:47

Newbie here. Sorry if this is a FAQ.

Fedora 11 (up-to-date), source (latest) build configure options: -disable-swscale --disable-postproc --disable-fribidi --disable-qt4 --disable-skins2

I'm interested only in command line execution.

cvlc foo.mp2 results in "no suitable decoder module for fourcc `mpgv'"

Could someone kindly elucidate this? FWIW, the mp2 file is playable with mplayer.

No. Should have come in with ffmpeg. Thanks.

Turns out that ffmpeg builds only .a by default. One needs an option to get relocatable .so How strange is that?

--enable-shared?
You need to recompile VLC afterwards.
