Hi, I am on Mac and have the latest VLC in Applications, I have installed the vlc.py into the correct place for my Python 2.7, and am trying to run the wxvlc.py script (link below) as I use wxpython, but I constantly get the error:

Code: Select all

Warning: option --plugin-path no longer exists.
Warning: option --plugin-path no longer exists.
[0000000109332158] core libvlc error: No plugins found! Check your VLC installation.
Traceback (most recent call last):

    self.player = self.Instance.media_player_new()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'media_player_new'

If I run the vlc.py file I get this output:

Does setenv(VLC_DATA_PATH) work for you?

so I just put this into the Mac terminal, but that is not going to be permanent and the wxvlc.py script wont use the Mac terminal setting?
Is there a place I need to enter this in the script, etc?

I would love to get this working, but am unsure as to where I put the environment setting within the wxvlc.py python script?

I appreciate any help given,
Kind regards.

Please check again with the latest version of the vlc.py module, it fixes the --plugin-path warning.

Second, make sure that your python version is compiled for the same architecture as your VLC app. If they do not match, python is unable to access the libvlc API.
