The VideoLAN Forums

Hello,

So I need to modify the RC interface so that it fits my needs.
It's just some details, I want to seek to miliseconds instead of secodns, I want to get some clearer outputs so than I can parse them clearly, etc etc.

So her I go, trying to build VLC.
And it's damn complicated.
I have been solving errors after errors, and still no luck.

So here is my question:
What I could find in the VLC binaries are luac files, so I suppose there is a need for building the files.
But do I need to build everything?
Isn't there a simpler way?

Any documentation is welcome. Thanks.
All I could find is documentation on the scripting itself, not the building.

Thank you.

Ok, got it...
From the sources, modify the lua file.
Then call the luac command line, in my case:
luac -o cli.luac cli.lua
And then replace the output luac file in your /usr/lib/vlc/lua/intf folder.
