64bit VLC

[SilverTT]

It apparently uses VLC's libdvdcss to read CSS encrypted DVDs (as libdvdcss was removed from Handbrake some time ago), and a 64-bit version of Handbrake doesn't like 32-bit VLC.

Arite.

Right, that was my understanding as well. If not true, then I don't care about the 64bit version of VLC because the 32bit works just fine. If it is true regarding the libdvdcss files then a 64bit version would be very helpful to backup a personal collection of DVDs.

HandBrake does not use VLC for anything other than video preview on windows. It doesn't matter if it's 32/64bit build.

What you are referencing is a Mac version only feature.

Ah OK, I was just stating what I read. Thanks for the info .

The Qt4 interface doesn't work ATM. However it seems to play audio tracks fine (tried FLAC and MP3), and video (tried x264 *.mkv), and the hotkeys work :

I used the dummy interface with OpenGL video output (DirectX worked too - but it disabled Aero). e.g.:

Code: Select all

vlc -I dummy --vout opengl INPUT

There didn't appear to be any memory eating.

Anyway - looking promising .

Cheers, Arite.

I have expanded on the above code.

Code: Select all

start C:\Users\o\Desktop\vlc-1.2.0-git-20110108-1420\vlc -I dummy --vout opengl "%~nx1"

Create a batch file with this line and simply drop the files onto it.

Win64 nightly builds are back, and now built with the Qt4 GUI.

http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win64/?C=M;O=D

No testing at all was made though, JB told me the binaries sometimes don't run, sometimes crash, sometimes leak memory like hell.

Reports are welcome!

[funman]

http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win64/last/

GUI works, no memleak.

Crashes sometimes, although I did not test enough to have reproducible way to crash it

test it while it's hot!

[MichaelMc]

Works great here, apart from a crash at exit and dvb-t totally non functioning (blocky green screen), otherwise, it's great!

[funman]

Thanks,

Can you compare win64 and win32 verbose log for DVB-T ? (tools -> messages -> set verbosity to 2)

Next nightly build will have GPU acceleration enabled (DXVA2).

The Win64 build doesn't seem to recognise the input MRL as valid anymore. Win32 builds 1.11 and 1.2 do recognise the input MRL.

Win64 1.2:

Win32 1.2: displays a blocked green-like screen and jittery

Win32 1.11 (DVB-T is fine here)

Alright, we were missing dvbpsi in the binaries.

Next build will include it, and:

• mozilla plugin
  libsamplerate
  fluidsynth
  modplug
  sidplay
  mpc
  gme

[speciesx]

where i can find the mozilla plugin?

[funman]

Nightly Build of VLC should be fully functional, safe for the activex plugin which has not been ported to win64

[speciesx]

Mozilla Plugin doesn't work with Firefox 11 x64 nightly, it's not listed in Firefox Plugins. If i click on search updates vlc crash.

[funman]

where i can find the mozilla plugin?

npvlc.dll in Nightly Build of VLC

Nice, thanks.

Loaded, installed and testing in progress...

[speciesx]

Mozilla plugin doesn't work, it's not listed in the plugin list.
I am using Firefox 11 x64 nightly.

[funman]

It works for me but only because I had copied the npvlc.dll to program\ files/nightly/plugins/ directory manually.

The installer is writing registry keys for the mozilla DLL:

Code: Select all

!define Moz "SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins\@videolan.org/vlc,version=${VERSION}" WriteRegStr HKLM ${Moz} "Description" "VLC Multimedia Plugin" WriteRegStr HKLM ${Moz} "Path" "$INSTDIR\npvlc.dll" WriteRegStr HKLM ${Moz} "Product" "VLC media player" WriteRegStr HKLM ${Moz} "Vendor" "VideoLAN" WriteRegStr HKLM ${Moz} "Version" "${VERSION}"

Perhaps there's another key for win64 version?

EDIT: no the keys format looks the same, I see the one for flash.
It seems the installer just doesn't write the keys.
Not sure why, the win32 installer works fine afaik.
Does it change something if you explicitely install as admin?
Does the mozilla plugin from win32 NB work correctly? (with 32bits mozilla of course)

[speciesx]

It is listed, but it doesn't work. Installing as admin change nothing.
p.s. vlc crash when i click "check for updates"

[funman]

Try win32 nightly build from the same date to rule out a win64-specific bug.

[funman]

Found it:
registry keys are written in /Wow6432Node/MozillaPlugins instead of /MozillaPlugins

I guess we'd need to create a x64 installer, but then we'd need x64 support for NSIS

[speciesx]

Try win32 nightly build from the same date to rule out a win64-specific bug.

I try with Firefox 11 nightly 32bit and IE 9 32bit on this page http://www.tvonline69.net/ with the last vlc win32 nightly build, on Firefox vlc crash and on IE 9 nothing happens.

[funman]

with the last vlc win32 nightly build, on Firefox vlc crash and on IE 9 nothing happens.

Not a win64 problem, both plugins are a bit out of date though someone just started maintaining them again so they might improve.

I fixed the installer so in next Nightly Build of VLC the plugin should register automatically.

You'll also be able to have both versions installed side by side but I recommand disabling all associations / context menu and menu entries of one of them to avoid conflicts.

I just saw now your message about update crashing, i'll look at it tomorrow.

[funman]

update will be fixed in next NB, and all other code using gcrypt

[speciesx]

There are no CPU-Features available.
