problems with the macosx interface module

[uli-fresh]

hey guys!

i'm using vlc 0.8.6f on a intel macbook running mac os x 10.4.11. it has worked perfectly so far, but today, i figured out that vlc comes with a mac os x interface module. so, i wanted to activate it, but vlc always gives me following error message:

Code: Select all

main: You cannot run the MacOS X module as an extra interface. Please read the README.MacOSX.rtf file.

when i googled this, i found out that this is a rather common problem which could easily be solved by resetting both the vlc's preferences and the cache. but neither deleting the vlc folder and the org.videolan.vlc.plist file nor removing it using the console command

Code: Select all

./VLC --reset-config --reset-plugins-cache

could get the interface module working. what did i do wrong?

Screwed preferences that stated that macosx was an extra interface.

The OSX interface is always used on OSX, therefor cannot be added as an extra interface.

oh okay i just was a bit confused because it was listed as an extra interface and the interface options had no effect on the appearance of the player windows somehow.
