hello,

i will load skins2 on my vlc-player, but it will not work. i can´t start the default.vlt skin. why? i start vlc -I skins2 waht´s wrong? can somewhere tell me where i to copy the -vlt file?

THX Danny

what system?

On windows, the skins2 module is installed with vlc and there is no need to copy or change anything.. merely use the GUI to Settings -> Switch Interface -> Skins2.

Or as you say: or this, they are the same: Is it a version on Linux?

use View -> Messages to find out skins2 problems when you try to change interfaces. Or use the logger module to see the messages and write them to a file: does the skins2 module exist?:

My system is Redhat 9.0. when i to type vlc --intf skins2 --verbose 2 --extraintf logger and vlc --module skins2, see the output:

THX for answer

vlc-log.txt

0.8.1 is not as good..

you need the proper configuration with the modules

hello, here is the vlc-log.txt:

where i become the proper configuration?

hmmph..

yes, I can not help anymore since I am a windoze newb

But, I recognize the problem though.

I would say the best bet is to visit the irc.freenode.net/#videolan channel between about 6pm and 12 midnight GMT. Someone can help interactively that way... Or post to the developer mailing list.

I will have to learn this answer

but please use at least 0.8.2 before you proceed
