Hi, everyone. Since yesterday I try to compile TVVLCKit without any success. I tried at least 15 times with 2.7 and master.
I run ./buildMobileVLCKit.sh -t, then the same with -t -s
And this is what I get :

[info] Preparing build dirs

When you have resolved this problem, run "git rebase --continue".
If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git rebase --skip" instead.
To check out the original branch and stop rebasing, run "git rebase --abort".


Then I can't do nothing with.
Is anyone can help me please ?

Thanks.

I look at the patch 002 which failed. I can see what it done in the dialog.c. But I don't understand why and how to solve it. Please help...
Here is my local dialog.c :

float f_value, const char *psz_fmt,

return i_ret;

}

free (dialog);

}

Really no one can help me ?
Please... I've tried so many times and now I feel desperate...

If this still fails with a clean checkout, you need to fix that patch conflict you are seeing here.

Thank you.
Yes it's still failed. I don't know how to fix it. Can you help me please? And after it is fixed how to relaunch the build ?

Thank you

You are on an unstable branch of a yet to be released framework, which is still under development. Sorry, those collisions can happen and we don't know when those will be resolved. Try to use the more stable 2.7 branch which we also deploy on our tvOS and iOS releases.

Thank you for answer.
I tried with 2.7 too and have the same problem

I've tried again this evening with 2.7.3 and nothing to do.
I've got always the same problem.
On December it worked fine and now I'm totally blocked.
Can someone tell me what to do to solve this problem ?
I need your help please.

Thanks

Sorry,

The problem appear with -t -s option when git pull --rebase is executed.

Here is what I've got :
git branch
* (no branch, rebasing localBranch)
localBranch
master

And in the rebasing localBranch I have all the last update so that the patched cannot be made.

I have no solution.

Ok for those who have the same problem, I just skip the -s option and add MobileVLCKit into a workspace. It just work.

Thanks.

Even it is different, but again build of TVVLCKit is broken again, looks it has to do with adding the bitcode option -b.

Anyway, since a few days I can't build TVVLCKit from a fresh repository. I get the following output:
Also some of the patches seem not to work anymore.

Hello,
Have you try with ./buildMobileVLCKit.sh -t which is in VLCKit folder ? -t contain the enable bitcode option.

this is what I actually do, I just have a wrapper script around it, to clone the repo into a new directory.
And it looks like esp. this bitcode option is causing issues when building libVLC.
Maybe I have to use a branch except of HEAD.

as there is no reply or fix yet, I opened a ticket in trac. #16685

Ok I saw that it works now for you ssbmaccom, but can you tell me if you have problem reading movie (freezing or dropping frame) ?
Because that's what I've got since a lot of times.

Thank you.

Oh yes. In my App playback freezes a lot. Also drop frames up to 1 second. Also for 1080i LiveTV streams I got reports, that in 70% of the playbacks the audio is jittering.
That's why I am so keen on being able to build it again and again. But currently it turns worse than better.
With the freezes (see thread in development around libVLC) I also posted "lldb bt all" stack backtraces, which show all the threads that seem to be in a dead lock during freeze. Looks like some threads are waiting for any condition or a lock to get released. In some cases I found, that some structure pointers used internally are NULL. Not sure why it is not crashing.
Also it looks like threads are "leaking". Some don't get stopped when playback is stopping. One had to do with playlists, but I do not use playlists.

Curious as well: The URL for the stream looks like "http://192.168.42.42:8001/1:0:19:283D:3 ... 0000:0:0:0:" which is a stream, but libVLC reports it as a file.

One of my beta testers reported me, that the first version (early in January) was the best playback quality of all versions. Now looking if I can find one of the old VLCKit libs with bitcode. No archive for nightlies...

Ok so I'm not the only one and for me December version worked fine too but now it is dropping frames and the FPS is falling down to 9. I can watch any movie. And more the official VLC tvOs app does the same.

Yes, I would love to have the december version somewhere...

Ahh... hell, yeah... I found it. I had it "accidentally" committed and pushed in my git repo.
One version from Nov. 29th and one from Dec. 1st.
Looks quite good so far, includes bitcode but no simulator.

I will check what my beta testers report...

BTW: with a 720p stream it now correctly returns the right frameratedenominator... so the FPS is reported correctly.

You're a lucky guy. Can I ask you a big service ? Can you compress VLCKit folder (I know it's more than 2Gb) and upload it for me on my FTP. I can give you access by PM.
It would be so great. Tell me if it's ok.

Thanks.

Hello ssbmaccom,
I send you a PM. If you could upload me december version, it would be so great.

Thank you.

You got a reply.
The versions I had in my git repo where not fine.The november one has the hang when closing a stream and the december one had no bitcode.
So I created a local branch based on the last commit of 2015 and started to build. It fails because live555 has been updated. So I had to change some files in VLC and in VLCKit - which was a reasonable back port effort.
The result looks fine, much more stable and more smooth playback so far.

I send more info via PM. If you (or someone else) wants, I can upload my build. But my connection is very slow, so it will take ages.

Ok thank you so much for your answer.
You're the best.

Hi there this is very kind could I have access to your FTP please

Thank you so much as this had become a real problem for me
