I am compiling VLC, with support for the GPU in the Pi:BarryK wrote:Anyway, the video player. I know that you guys have been trying various video players. Which one do you reckon would be the best replacement for xine?
I guess the choices are VLC, mplayer, xfmedia. Anything else?
The replacement should be something that doesn't have too many dependencies.
Did you compile that omxplayer-v7-0.3.7.pet, or was it a ready-made binary from somewhere?don570 wrote:I was able to get omxplayer to work by adding a lot of libraries.

I just re-read this post, I had misunderstood it before.don570 wrote:if retrovol is launched from the start menu it creates a speaker icon in the tray.
The icon doesn't disappear when retrovol is quit, so there will be multiple
speaker icons . (see image)
When retrovol is launched from the tray this doesn't occur.
Code: Select all
./configure --with-default-mixerapp=aumixer --prefix=/usr

I have compiled VLC, without Qt. I did everything recommended for compiling on the Pi2, but when I run it like this:
cvlc --vout omxil_vout big_buck_bunny.mp4
I just get an error message;
"core decoder error: failed to create video output"
However, "sdl" and "x11" work.
I clicked on tray icon and followed instructions.Is wifi supposed to work?
OK, thanks for trying. I need to clarify your answer. If you mean that "wlan0" showed up in the list, so does here. Then I can scan the wifi network and find my wifi access point SID. It is past this point that I can't connect because "the DHCP client can't connect to the network" - so do the connection managers report.don570 wrote:I clicked on tray icon and followed instructions.Is wifi supposed to work?
My USB adaptor driver showed up in list.

I do not know a thing about that kind of software on Linux (never had a use of it before the Raspberry Pi). I did try all the servers you include to be sure of error.
Actually, it should be "--with-default-mixerapp=defaultaudiomixer"don570 wrote:Remember to compile mhwaveedit for the new audio mixerCode: Select all

I am using RPI2 as my desktop; switched across from Raspbian as soon as BarryK added LibreOffice to his Quirky 8.0.25 alpha (thank you for this Barry). Quirky is an excellent and full featured desktop environment. There are other advantages of Quirky/puppy/fatdogARM like being able to easily mount/unmount various USBsticks on the rpi. Plus all the great info on this forum.
I had same issue as you with timesync not working. I fixed it by the following (although I don’t know which one did the trick!):
1. Install these two extra packages (and all their dependencies – do this via the Puppy Package Manager ("install" icon on the desktop opens the PPM):
ntp_4.2.8p4+dfsg
fake-hwclock_0.9
2. Reboot pi and then open Menu>System>Boot Manager configure boot up. Click on the “..services to run at boot..
