Decklink output module is not listed

[mahdi87_gh]

Hi, I'm trying to use vlc to send output to decklink sdi 4k device.
I've read a lot forum but I cannot find a solution. I'm ubuntu and installed latest vlc from ubuntu software center. When I go to preferences--> Video --> output modules there is no item for decklink to select. What should I do?
Thanks

Is the Decklink support natively built into VLC now? I found that I had to download the Decklink SDK from Blackmagic's website, then compiled VLC with the SDK. I also had to install the Decklink drivers on my machine.

I'm on Ubuntu 14.04.

It's written in the change log.
I've installed drivers and Desktop Video shows my device correctly but I'm confused about how to use sdk and compile vlc.
Anyway is it's possible to share your compiled vlc? Can you send it to my email? It's mahdi87_gh@yahoo.com

VLC has support for the Decklink SDK, but Ubuntu probably does not enable it, so you might need to recompile VLC.

Unfortunately, I built it on a corporate machine and I'm not able to share it. Sorry!

Here are the steps I took:

• Downloaded the latest VLC from http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/
• Downloaded the latest Decklink SDK from https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/suppor ... d-playback NOTE: They call it the "Desktop Video SDK" (rather than “Decklink”) so it is confusing, because once you download it, it’s called Decklink. Blech!
• Used this for compilation instructions: https://wiki.videolan.org/UnixCompile/
• Configured the build using:

  Code: Select all

  ./configure --with-decklink-sdk=/path/Blackmagic_Decklink_SDK_10.6.6/Linux/
• Ran:

  Code: Select all

  make
  and then:

  Code: Select all

  make install
