The VideoLAN Forums

hello

I serve a quicktime movie (video + audio) in that way:
new test7 broadcast enabled
setup test7 input /home/peach/hta/bda/videos/xxx.mov
setup test7 output #transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=100}:standard{access=http,mux=ts,dst=192.168.1.38:8080/xxx}
setup test7 loop
control test7 play

I've installed vlc 1.0.0 rc1 goldeneye, on my notebook running ubuntu and on a pc running windows xp, all works fine .I can receive the video and hear the stream. The output on this two computers displays the following:

[0x87ee220] ts demux error: MPEG-4 descriptor not found
[0x87f50d8] packetizer_mpeg4audio packetizer: AAC channels: 2 samplerate: 44100

...but it works. On another pc, running also ubuntu and the newest vlc-player, I don't here the sound and it displays the following error messages:
[0x9876958] ts demux error: MPEG-4 descriptor not found

[0x98cda50] avcodec decoder error: cannot open codec (MPEG AAC Audio)

[0x98cda50] main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `mp4a'.

VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.

I've installed it both the same way, using this instruction:
http://wiki.videolan.org/UnixCompile

both with the standard-options (./configure). What's the problem, how can I solve this error?

Kind regards,
Peter

i have the same issue on my laptop running ubuntu. can anybody help us, please?

Did you install via apt-get or did you compile from source?

If you compiled from source, did you include faad? faad is a library for decoding (playing) AAC audio. You'll need to compile faad from source first, then compile VLC and use --include-faad or some such.
