vlc lua5.3 attempt to call a nil value ....

Postby jiapei100 » 10 Aug 2016 21:46

Hi, all:

Code: Select all

jiapei:vlc$ vlc VLC media player 3.0.0-git Vetinari (revision 2.2.0-git-8089-g0be62e5) [00000000018dd1a8] core libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface. [0000000001b86ca8] skins2 interface error: no suitable dialogs provider found (hint: compile the qt plugin, and make sure it is loaded properly) [0000000001b86ca8] skins2 interface error: cannot instantiate qt dialogs provider [0000000001b86ca8] [cli] lua interface error: Error loading script /usr/local/lib/vlc/lua/intf/cli.luac: lua/modules/common.lua:3: attempt to call a nil value (global 'module')

I'm actually using lua5.3, I have all packages related to lua5.3 installed on my Ubuntu 16.04.
However, it looks lua5.3 is still NOT fully compatible with current vlc-git?

Cheers
Pei

From Linux Terminal app Konsole:

VLC media player 3.0.16 Vetinari (revision 3.0.13-8-g41878ff4f2)
[000055e1e36a7db0] [http] lua interface error: Error loading script /usr/lib64/vlc/lua/intf/http.luac: lua/modules/common.lua:3: global 'module' is not callable (a nil value)

As a result of this problem i am not able to communicate with Linux VLC Player via the Android app VLC Mobile Remote

What do i need to do to fix this issue ?

VLC v3.016
OS: Opensuse Tumbleweed

Can you use Lua 5.1 instead of newer version in VLC for Linux?

Yes, it is not compatible.

It's been since 2016 at least
Is this bug going to ever be fixed ?, is there any provision for this ?

Linux users cannot ever use the android app VLC Remote with linux until this bug is fixed
