The VideoLAN Forums

Hi guys,

I have a patch file (http://techblog.unwiredappeal.com/2010/ ... patch.html), but I have no idea how to use it... Can't find anything on the internet. I tried to compile it while I pasted it into extras/contrib/src/Patches, but it didn't work, the --enable-livehttp argument said that it was invalid. Any idea how to get started? I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.2...

Thanks in advance,

Joost

Go to the main VLC source directory, then run and the proceed with compilation as normal.

Thanks! Gonna try it soon, lets hope it works

I'm trying to patch my vlc application installed on mac OS , but I still have this problem
In my application, I have the contents folder, in which there are
Info.plist MacOS PkgInfo Resources
I tried the command, but I received the following error
patch -p1 < /Users/sandrine/Desktop/vlc-livehttp.patch
can't find file to patch at input line 5
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

|diff --git a/modules/access_output/Modules.am b/modules/access_output/Modules.am
|index de6c5b5..6b12fd4 100644
|--- a/modules/access_output/Modules.am
|+++ b/modules/access_output/Modules.am
--------------------------
File to patch:

Could you please tell me which folder to choose ?
Thank you in advance
