VLC media player 0.9.9a Grishenko rtp plugin does not load.

[Preston Connors]

I am using VLC media player 0.9.9a Grishenko 32bit on CentOS 5.3 (Final). vlc was installed via Dag Wieers' rpmforge using yum with no errors. I am trying to trans code an MP3 stream to mp4a stream using rtp. The previous version available from rpmforge (unfortunately, I do not have the previous version, I think it was 0.86.x) worked with the following command with no errors:

/usr/bin/vlc -vvv http://shoutcast.pureparty.org --sout "#transcode{acodec=mp4a}:rtp{dst=209.208.14.50,port=554,sdp=file:///var/dss/movies/pure_party.sdp}"

Can someone please examine the output below from 0.9.9a and shed some light on to what may be wrong?

You are trying to use a different version of libgcrypt than the one you built VLC with...

I did not build VLC, I used yum to install a pre-built package from rpmforge (vlc.i386 0:0.9.9a-3.el5.rf). I noticed the version of libgcrypt installed is libgcrypt-1.2.4-1.el5.i386 and this is installed along with VLC when yum installing VLC.

Unfortunately, a lot of other programs depend on linking against libgcrypt-1.2.4-1.el5.i386. Is there any other way of using this pre-built rpm from rpmforge without modifying the version of libgcrypt I have installed? I tried downloading an older version of VLC for RHEL5 from rpmforge but the files no longer exist. Any other suggestions would be helpful as well.

Thank you!

You could use a distribution with an efficient packages and libraries management system

[weeraman]

i'm having the same problem.. ( on RHEL5- VLC 0.9.9)
any of you guys able to solve this.. other than using separate distribution ?

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

The package does not include the RTP plugin. There is not much to be done.

This wouldn't be a problem if you used a Debian-based distro.
