Or...maybe it is included but you need to add above libs to the Puppy from PPM.

You can check what modules compiled vlc includes with this command in console:
vlc -vvv --list

The x264 snapshot and 13 debs that I added didn't stick I guess, I added them again and vlc -vvv --list doesn't show any errors.
I didn't have --enable-dvbpsi in the configure line so vlc would need to be compiled again, I'll leave that to someone else.
The qt-482 pet that I use is 45mb so I'm not going to recompile vlc and make an sfs that includes qt-482 which would be pretty big.

I was hoping the vlc pet that I made would work for others too but it won't as is so I'll remove the link.

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-run-as-root --enable-pvr --enable-real --enable-realrtsp --disable-notify --disable-sid --disable-goom --disable-decklink --disable-smb --disable-gme --disable-taglib --enable-non-utf8 --disable-pulse --disable-fluidsynth --disable-libproxy --disable-projectm --disable-portaudio --disable-jack --disable-kate --disable-kai --disable-tiger --disable-upnp --disable-kva --disable-live555 --disable-crystalhd --disable-speex --disable-schroedinger --disable-dirac --enable-merge-ffmpeg --without-kde-solid --enable-mkv --disable-caca

This is the configure I used with dpup. There is no need to enable dvb in configure. If you have needed dev libs and maybe real libs included vlc ./configure picks dvb and includes it automatically.
Yeah....I would include libdvb and libdvbpsi6 and their devel libs.

--enable-dvbpsi -----> build with dvbpsi support enabled [default=auto]

Billtoo. Your vlc worked for me just fine. I used Barry`s build and my own qt4 libs and your vlc had no problems playing movie formats. It is just dvb support which is missing. I am not sure if it is reason to remove it. There are not so many vlc compilers around. Your work will be appreciated with dvb or without.

pemasu wrote:Devx sfs is missing git and git core. Needed for above kernel kit. Aufs source download is done from git repo.
Oops. I am using Barry`s version...so it might be that oldyeller has updated devx sfs. So dismiss this post if git and gitcore has been added.

I have not added anything to the dev sfs just what is made from the build

I wish I could do more to help with the vlc problem; is there anything I can do in woof?

where do i get the kernel source at?
can someone post a link please.

I compiled it again using your ./configure line, I had to add --disable-libva --disable-lua --disable-dbus to get it to compile but it seems to work okay.
I added libdvb-dev_0.5.5.1-5.1_i386.deb,libdvbpsi7_0.2.2-1_i386.deb, and
libdvbpsi-dev_0.2.2-1_i386.deb

Here's the download link if you'd like to try it out, It still needs qt so could you supply a link to your qt4 libs if this works okay?

EDIT:Please see message farther down the page for vlc-2.0.3.sfs download link

I don't know about the kernel source, the kernel that I used was the first one that showed when I did the build.

maybe pm Barryk

Billtoo. I installed your libdvbpsi included recompiled vlc, libdvbpsi7, my needed dvb-tuner firmware, my needed channels.conf and then I launched vlc from commandline: vlc -vvv /root/channels.conf
.....and.... finnish tv started to play in laptop !!!
You did it.

Well...subtitles. To get them working you still seems to need to have full gconv content at compile time. I have extracted them from libc6 deb and uploaded the pet to the smokey01 site...for future compiles and as reference.

My used qt4 libs: http://smokey01.com/pemasu/QT-4.8.0-dpu ... t-dpup.pet

and the pet for vlc compile with subtitles support: gconv content. Not needed after vlc compiling:http://smokey01.com/pemasu/Misc/vlc-sub ... -0.0.1.pet

Sorry Billtoo that I didnt post this need before. The movie I tested for avi...had subtitles burned in...and I thought the vlc found subtitles from the folder and I thought...great...this is nice...but now I see that other movies have the same error as I got in dpup before I learnt to fill /usr/lib/gconv folder with full content about 250 files. My pet also has full gconv-modules.cache.

Kernel sources for Barry Kauler`s kernels are all in the same location:
http://bkhome.org/sources/

http://bkhome.org/sources/kernel-3.2.18 ... atched.sfs

Magic words are: " puppy" and "linux"

I recompiled and hopefully subtitles,dvb, the whole shebang is working now.

I made an sfs which includes vlc-2.0.3 and qt-4.8.2.

Billtoo. Your latest version works perfectly. Dvb tuner works and shows TV. Subtitles works...so my fix was right for vlc.

Puppies with reduced gconv content does not enable subtitles. It goes to woof template which reduces the gconv content from its original content. So...my fix pet like content is needed in other puplets also if you want to have subtitles enabled. Libc6 is the debian - ubuntu package from where the content can be extracted.

I just downloaded it and works great

Thanks for your help pemasu, I've saved you pets for the next time that I compile vlc

I created a pet of Billtoo`s vlc-2.0.3. I removed the qt4 libs from the sfs, so that I can install just the vlc. This is for my usage, but I thought someone else might have gt4 libs already installed. Okay...I removed development files also.

The vlc-2.0.3 pet size is 4.1 Mb.

Hello


This is not good news for us on precise or manna my optical drive on mine laptop just went down I do not have the funds right now to get a new one.

Just as things started to with precise. I just got doing a repo on smokey01 and went to burn the new iso and down went my optical drive

so I have no idea when I will be able to go forward with this

Not good news at all.

I have just tried your .sfs and got a new error.

Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvb://'. Check the log for details.

It is missing 'TV (digital)' from Capture Devices.

It seems that some tuners work as 'PVR' but not mine.

Tried pemasu's latest .pet, same error as earlier.

Did you install libdvbpsi7. If not then the error message is due to that. I can confirm that dvb works with Billtoo`s vlc compile. Use PPM and install libdvbpsi7.

OK I got ny usb drive going so at least I can work on woof and update the project just can't test it for now anyway

Cheers

I removed the test iso. we are back in business I now am able to test my builds again before uploading and posting


Cheers

So happy to report that I now have a working DVBT.

Bye bye to Ubuntu.
Thank you all so much for your help.
