Some problem playing the audio

[amri123]

I think this is the right platform to post my queries.I have compiled a VLC using the source code for windows using Cygwin.Version is 0.8.6d.The configure command was as follows.--

./bootstrap && \
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/win32-branch/lib/pkgconfig \
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/win32-branch/include -I/usr/win32-branch/include/ebml" \
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32-branch/lib \
CC="gcc -mno-cygwin" CXX="g++ -mno-cygwin" \
./configure \

--with-dvdnav-config-path=/usr/win32-branch/bin \
--disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-goom \
--enable-twolame --enable-dvdread \
--enable-debug


It compiles successfully and the exe file was created.But the problem is, though it is being able to play almost all the videos succesfully,but most of the audio files are not playing except some common ones like mp3 etc.Specially the WMA2 is not playing at all.SO please help me and advice how to configure the VLC so that it can play those audios.The contrib file that i used was --- contrib-20071121-win32-0.8.6d-bin-gcc-3.4.5-only.tar.bz2.. Please reply urgent.

[VLC_help]

--enable-dmo try that one.

[amri123]

thanx for reply...pls also tell do i need to keep the dll files for WMA playing (like wma9dmod.dll etc) mentioned in the dmo.c in the windows/system32 folder to have its effect? Actually i didnt find those dll files on my machine. And pls check this code

[Arite]

Have you started VLC with --codec dmo when playing a video/audio file?

Try e.g. the usage:

Code: Select all

vlc --codec dmo INPUT

Where INPUT is the input file. What are the messages etc.?

Arite.

[amri123]

yeah.It played with vlc --codec dmo INPUT then it is working alright.But is there is any way so that the WMA can be played automatically without having to give any command.Is there any way to build 0.8.6d with this feature incorporated?

The slider bar is running but without any audio.So suggest what to do..

[VLC_help]

Maybe update your project to 0.9.2?

[amri123]

So isnt it possible at all to play the WMA with 0.8.6d version without using commands?

[Arite]

yeah.It played with vlc --codec dmo INPUT then it is working alright.But is there is any way so that the WMA can be played automatically without having to give any command.Is there any way to build 0.8.6d with this feature incorporated?

Well using a normal compile to always have it enabled then create e.g. a shortcut of VLC and add it in the commandline parameters. You might be able to modify the source and compile it so that it is always enabled.

So isnt it possible at all to play the WMA with 0.8.6d version without using commands?

Depends on the WMA type - only WMA can be decoded natively by VLC, IIRC. WMA2 and WMA3 require dmo.

Arite.

[amri123]

So i want to know whether the 0.9 versions will have the same problems or not.Then i can try compiling the 0.9 versions.

[VLC_help]

Newer FFmpeg build should have better WMA support, but AFAIK it isn't perfect so there are some WMA audios you can't play without DMO help.

[amri123]

I want to ask one more thing...If i replace the ffmpeg folder with a later version then will it compile correctly.It is situated in my C:/VLC/vlc/modules/codec/ffmpeg.So what should be the "--with-ffmpeg-tree=" then?? WIll it be the location of that folder??

[VLC_help]

I don't think 0.8.6 supports latest FFmpeg. AFAIK there where some changes in API that got patched to 0.9.x but they didn't get to 0.8.6 because it had already come unsupported tree.
