Unable to play VP8 in VLC 1.1.0 local-build [Solved]
Posted: 10 Jul 2010 18:02
Over the last couple of days I've been building up libraries and whatnot so that I can use WebM. I can now transcode to that format and (in Minefield) play it back, but so far I have not managed to convince VLC that it wants to play along!
Naturally I started with libvpx from the webmproject website, configured as follows:
Next I built and installed ffmpeg SVN-r24138:
Certain files were symlinked into lib64, as otherwise VLC wouldn't build. At some point I also symlinked libvpx, but I don't remember when.
Finally, VLC 1.1.0 with:
Again, symlinks added due to vlc not booting if it couldn't find libvlc.so.5 in /usr/lib64. I tried changing the path first, but to no avail.
At this point I can play the audio portion of WebM files, so I know that it's recognising the wrapper. However when attempting to play VP8 in either a WebM or other Matroska wrapper, I get this:
Distro: openSUSE 11.2 (with factory KDE)
Kernel: 2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop
GCC 4.4.1
Am I missing the blindingly obvious?

VLC does not support the audio or video format "VP80". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.
