If you cannot play youtube URLs in VLC-GTK 2.5, but you are using a VLC package with lua enabled, you might need this fix, which fixes the latest updates to youtube (as of end of Sept 2012) : http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 573#655573

VLC-GTK updated to 2.5.2 - see main post for download.

Changelog:

Code: Select all

- new 'Capture' tab, can capture and transcode File, DVD, Screen
- can only capture and transcode to file at the moment (not URLs)
NOTE: there's a bug, you need to return to the main GUI and click the 'Stop Playback' button,
in order to actually stop the capturing/transcoding. The fix should be added around line 750, if anyone knows how.

VLC-GTK updated to 2.5.4 - see main post for download.

Changelog:

- double fixed DVD ripping, works nice
- added many more options to Capture tab
- other fixes related to capture settings

EDIT: re-uploaded, more fixes

- fixed DIV1, DIV2, DIV2 vcodec,
- fixed ac3, aac, acodec

TO DO

Still some issues with remembering some of the Capture settings,
they may appear blank after running a capture or playback cmd...
Note, the settings will only appear blank if you chose 'SAME'...
The fix will be at the end of the execute() func, if anyone cares..

Also, getting working audio in transcoding files seems tricky...
I'm probably doing it wrong, not really an expert on VLC!

EDIT: above problems solved in 2.5.5

@scottman - linux is pretty good about caching the symbols from your shared libraries in order to speed up future uses. This is great when your shared libraries and binaries do not change, but if they do then you can get a mismatch that makes a broken new package _appear_ to work because an old symbol is still cached (an example would be downgrading libflashplayer from v9 to v7 - some flv stuff will work until you reboot or restart X) or the converse situation where a cached external symbol mismatches with the new internal ones and fails to load those particular functions. You also mentioned something about not being able to kill some process. I haven't tracked it back down, but typically it goes like: process args & PID_of_PROCESS=$! ... kill $PID_of_PROCESS (you may need to export the variable depending on where it is used)

Sorry Techno, but I don't know what I should do with this info...
Is VLC-GTK not actually working at all or something?? :?

I don't plan to translate VLC-GTK. But if anyone wants to do this, they can.

I must have gone back a few pages or something. I swore someone had a problem with upgrading vlc and it not working until reboot (or was it only working until reboot)... can't find it now though

In Racy 5.3, it started from the Multimedia menu and seemed to be ok until I put a DVD in the drive and clicked Play DVD. A little window showed up for a second saying "Loading DVD, please wait." I waited, but nothing else happened.

Check the logfile, in the 'Advanced' tab.. it may be that your vlc pkg isn't working.. If you downloaded a pet, it might not work with the ffmpeg in your pup, you might need to compile it.

I think I can't do much more with VLC-GTK, until I get DVB working,
and I have no DVB hardware, and the signal is very poor in my area.

I would appreciate any advice on the transcode Format settings, see the end
of the execute() func in /usr/bin/vlc-gtk to check my settings are correct.

Any other suggestions or code snippets that might improve this, post them here.

for the transcoding see ffconvert, I posted the ones I was using in my old woo-ff program in shinobar's ffconvert thread and I am pretty sure he is using them and some others since (they may need translated from ffmpeg to vlc syntax though)

btw, I posted a similar program to vlc-gtk (uses xdotool) for mupdf here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 689#659689
I won't be doing much if anything with it though till after midterms - just putting it out there in case anyone wants to make it look nicer

Yeah that and the VLC wiki/forums were my basis... Not sure if I applied the stuff from ffconvert/online sites etc correctly, but we'll see...

I'll have to check it out, Akita has mupdf in the repo, I did a frontend type thing for it, but didn't go as far as xdotooling it, etc...

VLC-GTK updated to 2.6.2

#99 Post by sc0ttman »

VLC-GTK updated to 2.6.2

See main post for download.

Fixed GUI layout issues with non-ubuntu fonts (thanks radky, stole some of your code). Mainly a bugfix release, but also includes a new 'Record' button in the On Screen Controls (OSC). Screenshots below.

Changelog, 04 Feb 2013:

- force font size in gtk theme, fixes GUI layout in many puppies (see screenshot)
- updated help info, more info on how to use VLC-GTK
- updated play_url, play_fave to support stream recording in OSC (see below)
- fixed launch_osc: get vlc pids before running OSC

- updated OSC:
- added button to record any selected stream
- fixes for loading files/streams without resetting OSC,
- added vlc icon to OSC, other minor clean ups

Known issue: when you quit playback of any sopcast stream, any sopcast downloads will also stop... Note this is only an issue if recording and watching sopcast streams simultaneously.

Feedback appreciated, particularly on the new font settings in the GUI.

vlc-gtk 2.6.3

#100 Post by sc0ttman »

VLC-GTK updated to 2.6.3

Bugfix release. See main post for download.

Changelog, 19 Feb 2013:

- set 14px icons for vlc-gtk GUIs
- fixed set location of gtkrc file to ~/.vlc-gtk/
- fixed GUI layouts in places, stream tab, OSC
- fixes for removed/lost work dirs, they wont get set in rcfile
- fixed OSC, use font + icon settings set by vlc-gtk
- fixed OSC for detect screen dimensions/resolution
- fixed OSC for low res < 1024x768
- fixed pinstall script, can be used in woof

Next, I might have a go at integrating import IceCast radio stations button, beside the sopcast button, in the Streams tab.. I also wanna add some basic 'playback history' feature..

I have no DVB stuff, but if anyone knows how to build a list of channels that VLC can play using wscan or similar, or know the relevant VLC command line options for DVB stuff, I'd like to know.. Especially if the channel list is formatted properly for a gtkdialog tree, and each entry runs `run_vlc dvb $1` when clicked... ;)
