Skin problem Edgy

Postby amanita » 31 Oct 2006 15:09

Hi I am unable to change skin. I have tried that with others, with sudo etc. The skins are saved to /usr/share/vlc/skins2
I am on AMD64, asus m2n32, 512MB, Ubuntu Edgy Eft. Please help. Thank you

I'm having this same problem, also using the Edgy (XUbuntu) release and VLC 0.8.6

I ran with the -vvvv option, but didn't really get any further information....

I can send the core dump if someone wants it......

Could you give the backtrace of the crash please?

To have a core dump, run 'ulimit -c unlimited' in the terminal, then start vlc with the skins2 interface like you did before. It will generate a file called 'core' or 'core.somenumber'. Assuming it is named 'core', run 'gdb vlc core', and at the gdb prompt type 'bt'. The output of this command is what i need to understand the problem better.

First, make sure that everything is clean, by resetting the preferences and the plugins cache:
vlc --reset-config --reset-plugins-cache vlc:quit

Now, does the problem happen with any skin? You can try using another skin with the --skins2-last=/path/to/the/skin.vlt command-line option.

Also, running vlc with -vvv might give useful indications.

Skins not working are: Itunes, winamp5,D-GFX Dark Skin (others not tested yet)

runnig vlc with vvv gives:

Would you like me to send report from /var/crash ?

I'm running 64bit Edgy Eft. I put the skins in ~/.vlc/skins2/ as was suggested on the skins webpage and the skins show as available in the interface. However, trying to load any skin other than the default or Dalin Media Player results in a crash.

I have fixed the problem. The next test release and the final 0.8.6 won't have this bug. Thanks for reporting!

There is a work-around if you really want to use a particular skin without upgrading to another VLC version: in the XML file of the skin (i.e. after extraction, see the Compression section in the documentation for more details), replace the Playlist control with a Playtree control. you just have to rename the XML tag, and to add the flat="true" attribute (if you don't specify it, you will get a true Playtree control, which can be nice as well...). Then re-create the .vlt file, and it should be loadable by the "buggy" version of VLC (well, in fact i also fixed another bug of the same kind, so if it still crashes, make sure that the ThemeInfo tag specifies both the 'name' and 'author' attributes, for example: name="foo" author="bar").
