The VideoLAN Forums

Hi,
I have tried to search for someone with the same problem, but haven't been able to find a solution here nor with Google.

I have an existing VLC installation (used apt-get with Ubuntu 7.10) that works fine, but I am seeking to compile VLC with a modified version of the live555 library as part of testing a streaming algorithm.

First I attempted to get all necessary libraries and the source code by using git. That seemed to work ok, but when running VLC I got the same error message as below. I then downloaded vlc-0.8.6h.tar.gz and extracted the source code that way and did the following:

msupstream@desktop:~/master/vlc-0.8.6h$ ./configure --enable-live555 --with-live555-tree=/home/msupstream/live
msupstream@desktop:~/master/vlc-0.8.6h$ make
msupstream@desktop:~/master/vlc-0.8.6h$ ./vlc
VLC media player 0.8.6h Janus
[00000017] main interface error: no interface module matched "hotkeys,none"
[00000017] main interface error: no suitable interface module
[00000001] main private error: interface "hotkeys,none" initialization failed
[00000018] main interface error: no interface module matched "screensaver,none"

[00000019] main interface error: no interface module matched "any"
[00000019] main interface error: no suitable interface module
[00000001] main private error: interface "(null)" initialization failed

I am obviously not doing this correctly... Can anyone help me in the right direction to get VLC up and running from the source code? I need to have it configured with my own version of live555 enabled, and preferably x11.

Thanks for any help!

Someone helped me find a solution... I just had to specify the folder containing the plugin modules. I simply did the following:
./vlc --plugin-path modules

Anyone know if it is possible to set this during configuration/compilation so I don't have to specify the parameter at runtime?
