Using svg text renderer in 1.0.2

I've compiled 1.0.2 with --enabled-svg, everything was compiled successfully but when I set --text-renderer=svg I get the following error:
main error: no text renderer module matched "svg"
j-b, anything I can do or check?

You got the SVG .dll file?

libsvg_plugin.dll
Size: 55.1 KB
I've searched the error within the source code and found it is coming from modules\misc\dummy\dummy.c but couldn't find anything wrong there...

Just compiled 1.0.3, libsvg_plugin.dll is now 316 KB but I still get the error:
main debug: looking for text renderer module: 0 candidates
main error: no text renderer module matched "svg"
main debug: looking for text renderer module: 2 candidates
main debug: thread (fontlist builder) created at priority 0 (freetype.c:475)
freetype debug: using fontsize: 2
main debug: using text renderer module "freetype"

Does Tools -> Plugins and extensions list the plugin?

I compiled without QT4, is there another way of getting the list?
maybe through the console?

I don't know if there is something ready, but
Code: Select all
module_t **p_list = module_list_get( NULL );
module_t *p_module;
for( unsigned int i = 0; (p_module = p_list[i] ) != NULL; i++ )
{
QStringList qs_item;
qs_item << qfu( module_get_name( p_module, true ) )
<< qfu( module_get_capability( p_module ) )
<< QString::number( module_get_score( p_module ) );
#ifndef DEBUG
if( qs_item.at(1).isEmpty() ) continue;
#endif
QTreeWidgetItem *item = new PluginTreeItem( qs_item );
treePlugins->addTopLevelItem( item );
} shows how it is done, so you could write something similar to somewhere and print it out.

Then for some reason it doesn't register. Have you tried to debug if VLC checks that file on first startup?

I couldn't find the place where the plugins are being identified, can you please give me a direction?
What is the preferred plugin to render text instead of freetype?

You mean the part that loads them?

I think freetype is the preferred one.
Code: Select all
#define TEXTRENDERER_TEXT N_("Text rendering module")
#define TEXTRENDERER_LONGTEXT N_( \
"VLC normally uses Freetype for rendering, but this allows you to use svg for instance.")

I'm going over /modules/misc/modules.c but can't get any debug output to the log file, if I'm changing this file, should I compile the whole application or compiling inside 'src' is enough?

For modules, it is enough to just compile the modules dir and then do make package-win32-base or similar.
