I have a working 1.1.0 VLC mosaic for MPEG4+HD. However, when I try to use the current VLC version (Ubuntu), it complains:

Notice the complaints about missing h264 and even the ability to read a JPEG. The same config file works fine on a 1.1.0 mosaic, but doesn't work under 1.1.7

any clue why the 1.1.7 is so different from the 1.1.0


thanks

Seems like your VLC installation is hosed, lots of codecs are missing.

Thanks Rémi,

we are familiare with the VLC installation since a long time, i will double check if we missed something, i will let you know
