Packaging with Python

Postby thatguyandrew1992 » 16 Jul 2015 03:16

I have a libvlc program and I am trying to package it with cxFreeze and/or py2exe

I package it with py2exe on a clean Win7 VM, 64 bit with 64bit python.
I then take the dist folder that was generated and add in libvlc.dll and libvlccore.dll from the 64bit VLC program/install.

I then have another clean Win7 64bit VM with the VS Redist 64bit installed.
When I try and run it I get the following error
"core libvlc error: No plugins found! Check your VLC intance."

*VLC is not installed on this VM

Any ideas on how to get passed this? VLC is not installed on the VM that I am running the package program on.

EDIT:
Installing VLC didn't help

When I try the package that I made with cxFreeze, I get the following error
Traceback
File C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\cx_Freeze\initscripts\Console.py
...
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'media_player_new'

You must package all the plugins/ folder, next to libVLC.
