How to compile npapi-vlc on OS X Mavericks ?

[HLFH]

Please give us the right & complete guide to compile npapi-vlc on OS X Mavericks. And where can I get the last release of the npapi-plugin (01/21/14) ?

Perian is discontinued.QuickTime has always been bad. VLC-Npapi Plugin should be the right and only solution to stream video & audio on the Web !

It's not the only solution, fbvlc for mac now available too: http://sourceforge.net/projects/fbvlc/f ... C%200.1.1/

what about npapi-vlc - it's available at http://git.videolan.org/?p=npapi-vlc.git;a=summary

[HLFH]

FBVLC need a specific implementation. So, I need more Npapi-vlc

I'm getting errors with make :

fbvlc's api almost identical to Vlc Web Plugins

Do not compile as root.

Then, your issue is a bug. Might be related to clang in Mavericks.

I think I must install VLCKit too for libvlc (and for npapi-vlc), right ?

git clone git://git.videolan.org/vlc-bindings/VLCKit.gi
export CC=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/cc
export CXX=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/c++
export OBJC=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/cc
cd VLCKIT/
make

It's taking more than 13 GB of RAM !!!! I have 4 GB. So, after, xcodebuild & bash & make are using my virtual memory. I can't compile in these conditions on Mavericks 10.9.1.

Is there a binary for VLCKit ?

[HLFH]

Thanks for this point. You are just saying that VLC & VLCKit & LibVLC & Npapi-vlc & FBVLC are not optimized for the Mac Way of Life.

So maybe, I have to try another solution for streaming.

npapi-vlc head compiles fine on OSX. Tested and running.

PM me if you want a build.

[HLFH]

Thanks so much Jean-Baptiste Kempf, you made my day !

I'm using OwnCloud with Embedded Videostream (http://apps.owncloud.com/content/show.p ... ent=162915) and it works with your build sent on PM. For the moment, the subtitles are not loading > just tested with Sintel (using Firefox, OwnCloud & Embedded Videostream) : http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/graphics/blende ... 0.720p.mkv

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

OK.
