I'm cross-compiling VLC for the Roku HD1000. MP3 steams and files work fine, but I can't get ogg files or streams to work at all. Plugins are disabled, so it's just one huge executable.

I'm working with the official VLC 0.8.5 release, but had no luck with the svn snapshot either. I've tried the latest libogg/libvorbis releases, and also their current snapshots.

Questions:
- Should FFMPEG be built using libogg and libvorbis?
configure --enable-vorbis --enable-libogg ...

- Should FFMPEG's internal vorbis/ogg codec be disabled?
configure --disable-decoder=oggvorbis --disable-decoder=vorbis --disable-encoder=oggvorbis

- Should VLC be built to use libogg and libvorbis?
configure --enable-ogg --enable-vorbis

Can someone tell me what combination to use that normally works? (or better, how all these options play together). I've tried almost every variation, but no success.

Vlc for Windows can play the same files/streams just fine.

The following output occurs when ffmpeg has all its vorbis/ogg stuff disabled, and vlc has vorbis/ogg stuff enabled. I get the same fault whether it's an ogg file or stream:

Code: Select all

# vlc -vv "http://dir.xiph.org/listen.php?pid=3539406&file=listen.m3u"

Plugins are disabled, so it's just one huge executable.

That might be one of the problem. did you try with plugins ?

Questions:
- Should FFMPEG be built using libogg and libvorbis?
configure --enable-vorbis --enable-libogg ...

- Should FFMPEG's internal vorbis/ogg codec be disabled?
configure --disable-decoder=oggvorbis --disable-decoder=vorbis --disable-encoder=oggvorbis

Doesn't matter i think. you can disable them so we will be sure that the vlc module for ogg wil be used

- Should VLC be built to use libogg and libvorbis?
configure --enable-ogg --enable-vorbis

definitively.

Looks like the same thing happens with plugins enabled:

Perhaps we have the similar problem:
viewtopic.php?p=65748#65748
I use ffmpeg to demux mkv. But do not want ffmpeg to decode audio and video.

Posted: **20 May 2006 00:16**

Still no solution to this problem.

FFmpeg is built with all of it's ogg/vorbis encoder/decoder disabled.
Vlc is built with ogg/vorbis enabled.

Vlc gets a Bus Error when I try to play an ogg file (or stream).

Any ideas?
Anyone?
