sikpuppy well I finally am able to view a dvd it was missing the libcddb.so.2
it was really jittery playing then I changed it to opengl, and it played better.
also you forgot to include the font.
failed to load font file /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSerifBold.ttf
also get this error
[0x8341270] main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called
It has a low success on actually getting a dvd to play, Takes about 10+ times before I can get it going once.

Hmmz. No font on my computer either. But no problems playing DVDs either:P
What kernel comes with your puppy? I might have to download your pup to test on, I can't replicate errors that occur on a different setup

well thats odd in itself..thats the cd database library.sikpuppy well I finally am able to view a dvd Smile it was missing the libcddb.so.2
I have previously used the dvdnav and read libs (other vlc) in a standard puppy 2.12.
I did have to type in /dev/hdd (or whatever) as /dev/dvd seems unrecognised even though it's set up with this vlc version
Daft questions..have you been using your vlc 0.8.6h on 2.14r...to play dvd
and do you delete the config before testing as there is a plugin cache?
sounds dodgy.[0x8341270] main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called

ps a vlc 0.8.6c package I made and gave to someone refused to play dvd for him for ages.....dejavu

ok I tested it, well it plays dvds, a small bit of image slowness, other than that not bad, I also tried 0.8.6h and it needed 3 packages from 4 series and played the dvd perfect on 2.14.1X. Glad for that I would like to see this version play as well as the 0.8.6h did.

Well, part of the problem is the entire UI of VLC has been overhauled (not for the better I think, it was far more responsive with the wXwidgets interface).ttuuxxx wrote:ok I tested it, well it plays dvds, a small bit of image slowness, other than that not bad, I also tried 0.8.6h and it needed 3 packages from 4 series and played the dvd perfect on 2.14.1X.

This from the VLC wesite:
Earlier today it said "The release will be early THIS week..." Grr. Oh well, I will use what I have learnt with the other 2 releases to make the next one a pearlerThanks to the continuous efforts made by the developers and the community, the new version of the award-winning VLC media player, numbered 1.0.0, is approaching the end of development.
The release will very likely happen next week.

Yeah I never like qt much on puppy, the fonts always look strange and its never as responsive as gtk, wx, fox etc I wish they would bring back the gtk, vlc frontend, it ended in early days of vlc.sikpuppy wrote:Well, part of the problem is the entire UI of VLC has been overhauled (not for the better I think, it was far more responsive with the wXwidgets interface).ttuuxxx wrote:ok I tested it, well it plays dvds, a small bit of image slowness, other than that not bad, I also tried 0.8.6h and it needed 3 packages from 4 series and played the dvd perfect on 2.14.1X.

When I compiled the failed early 9 series of vlc you still could compile the wxgtk front end, it wasn't in the list when you did --configure --help,
try next time but you'll have to have the wxgtk installed of course
--enable-wx --disable-qt4 --enable-gtk

It's not possible to use wxwidgets anymore. One of the reasons the bootstrap script fails is because they have totally removed the URL from one of the configure files for wxwidgets.
I already have wxwidgets, and I tried a few days ago to get the ./configure script to use it. I am afraid QT it is. Which also means that the window decorations look crappy (a big X and chunky terminal emulator style surrounds).

Dear all,
Guys, please don't be so harsh on QT4 before setting it up properly. A properly compiled set of QT4 libs contains a GTK style plugin and the qtconfig app. These two binaries enables your QT apps to look just like your GTK ones, including font settings, buttons and all other widgets. I placed two versions of that plug-in on the forum some time ago (for QT 4.3x and 4.4x), along with qtconfig. Sorry, I can't remember in what context. Given the number of QT4 apps out there, and the size of the library, I think you get more bang for the buck from shared QT than with wx widgets, which are very lib-version specific and the cause of much grief on my part.
With kind regards,
vovchik
PS. I've included a pic of VLC running under qt4 on my little netbook. The fonts are perfect and are the same ones that I use for GTK. I used the 9x VLC (38MB) that I downloaded here, but threw out the QT stuff in /usr/lib, since I have a later version installed that has support for styled widgets.

ok upset time...
tested V6 in puppy 4.1.2 ..moans about sdl-image and libproxy but main problem is segmentation fault playing avi (xvid/divx) dvd works.
tested 1.0.0 from first post...needs glibc 2.8 so non starter.
retested V3 and original...ok ..installed over the top just to make sure.
back to my grubby corner

try running VLC from the command line:
This will find out if the inbuilt codec is to blame, or if it's something else. It will force vlc to use ffmpeg from an external library.
Code: Select all
vlc --prefer-system-codecs

Ok results
1.0.0. obviously no test as its libvlc needing glibc 2.8.
V6 no difference...the related codecs are being used from the 4.12 core anyway as they are not in the pet..ps the qt4 libs in opt are not needed.
One feature of vlc 0.9.x if i remember is rtsp support but none of the packages I tried seemed to have this..I may have misunderstood that one.
So most functional version remains V3 .
Main missing feature was mp4a.
Are you testing on 4.20?
dbus needs specifically disabling in the config options it seems .
