Ubuntu 10.04 & XVMC

Postby kayjay » 27 Jul 2010 10:51

I need VLC-1.1.1 with support for XVMC enabled in std desktop install. How do I see if support is enabled? If not what is the easiest way to enable it? If a compile is required are there simple steps to ./configure for this for use under this Ubuntu. There are so many options available its hard to see the wood from the trees. It would be good to build with the same options and the original binary but with just the XVMC option enables.

Many thanks

XvMC was removed from VLC for lack of maintenance.

How sad is that... All those 1000's of VIA motherboards with CLE266 graphics chips no longer usable. Any idea what the latest version of VLC is that still supports XVMC?

Thanks

That's VLC 1.0.6, but I never got it to work, so I suspect it's been broken for a looooong time.

So I guess I'm looking at a pre version 1.0 then for a working XVMC build. :(

Thanks
