Vlc / openwrt missing qml files

[rossbcan]

Hi;

vlc-3.0.17.3

I am at the tail end of getting VLC working for openwrt / aarch64 (target: inexpensive TV boxes), to cost reduce my product: https://www.rossco.org. VLC is intended for paned IP camera display on xorg.

complete: xorg, qt5, dependencies

When I attempt to run vlc, I get:

qml: component is not ready: qrc:/main/MainDisplay.qml:338 (because not in package, install issue)
component exists in build_dir: modules/gui/qt/playlist/qml/PlaylistListView.qml
along with a lotta other uninstalled qml's

'qml's should be installed in /usr/lib/qml/

Question #1: what files (qml's only?) should I install from "modules/" and, should I maintain directory structure?
Question #2: Why are these files not in ".pkgdir" post install? Config?
Question #3: suspect I will run into other missing files. Can some kind soul provide an installed vlc files list.

Thanks;
Bill

1) There are no QML files in VLC 3.0 sources.
2) Because they are no such files.
3) it varies a lot so you'll have to run 'make install' for that purpose.

BS: find build_dir/target-aarch64_cortex-a53_glibc/vlc-3.0.17.3/modules | grep /qml/ | grep -v deps

yields:

and many more qml files that are not installed
...can someone informed please answer the question?

Oh really so the QML files are where exactly? https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/ ... les/gui/qt

Guess who is now going to be ignored for swearing at a volunteer answering their questions?

Excuse a newbie (who can still recognize BS)

These files exist and are built and are needed by vlc (error message in first post)
PKG_SOURCE_URL:=https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc.git
# Master 2022/06/14
PKG_SOURCE_VERSION:=0e448365f6bc41439fd88f05b2e648b1a3d8f3b0

replies so far: no questions answered, despite clear articulation. Totally unhelpful. Not intending to be rude, but, REALLY: My issue is imaginary?
Its easy: YOU DON'T KNOW

I think I found the issue.

You found the qml files in the master branch. But if i'm not mistaken, master is vlc 4.0 and not vlc 3.0.

Try to go to 3.0.17.x branch and you will not find qml files.

Thanks!

absolutely correct:
vlc -V: VLC media player 4.0.0-dev Otto Chriek (revision 30e2782e06)VLC media player 4.0.0-dev Otto Chriek
(revision 30e2782e06)

recompiling using 3.0.X Master. stay tuned

for those considering openwrt/vlc. Used the contrib method and pkgconfig path priority to select system packages (if exist), else contrib packages.
