Hi

I need to play 3gp files with amr audio with VLC.

I first compiled ffmpeg with amr codec : and I can convert 3gp/amr files with ffmpeg to mp4/mp3

Now, I want to compile VLC 1.0.5 with amr support but when I do a I don't find any option to enable the libamrwb or libamrnb

I tried to compile anyway with the options found on this page : http://wiki.videolan.org/UnixCompile but when I run my freshly compiled vlc and open an amr/3gpp file I get the following error :

No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format "samr". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.

I think that vlc is not using my custom ffmpeg (which is the default one on my system.

I am using Ubuntu Karmic Koala

I'm stuck.
Any idea ?

Thanks
Christophe

Hi Christophe,

You may pick up a few pointers with statically linking libavcodec + amr to your vlc compile here:

This is written for Karmic Koala btw.....

Hi,

I'm trying to do exactly the same thing with another codec, which is currently supported by our custom version of ffmpeg.
I'm having the same problem. I believe that you, Christophe, linked your libraries to libavcodec and libavformat, which is what I did.

However, in my case, when compiling vlc and running avcodec and avformat are not listed. Do you also have
the same problem? It looks like these custom plugins are not recognised by vlc, which is correctly compiled.

Anyway, I will also try to build the development version of vlc.

Any other ideas?

Thanks and regards,

Stefano

Does anyone build vlc 1.0.5 with AMR by compile ffmpeg and vlc1.0.5 successfully?

I try build on cygwin, but vlc always tell me he can't recogonize amr declared in header file.
