VLC 8.6h mediaplayer Lite 7.8MB pet
Ok, ttuuxxx.
That link put the windows media player looking skin in the same place as the other skins, so that's cool.
The trick is in the settings, it seems, and I'm still juggling a little. Now I can just type in vlc and it starts with the skin I want, but I have to have saved the correct settings.
Under preferrences, Interface, Main Interface (select skinnable gui so it doesn't go back to default), Skins (click on advanced in the bottom right) and then pick where your skin is located. Make sure you save it. That seems to get it...

Yes...a bit confusing but saving from preferences is what counts.
So if you change something then change something else and save in preferences both changes will be saved so sometimes you end up undoing settings unwantingly...if you see what I mean....launching just as vlc should come up as you want.
The winamp5 skin I like and used the itunes as well

Hey mike are you any good with printers? and do you have a hp printer?mikeb wrote:I think you'll be needing fire water for that onemaybe I'll tackle VLC 9 series before starting up living water again

I'm working on cups for 4.2 and well my printer is a Canon, and it works fine but some hp printers don't,. like the permission get changed with hp printers or something, kind of hard for me to fix a problem when I don't have a HP printer to test it on.
ttuuxxx
This is where RC1 of puppy 4.2 is, I compiled all 6 printing packages and only needed to reuse 1 bin and one lib from ghostscript do to a size issue from earlier puppies.

Printers.......
Well I did happen to read that thread earlier.
Unfortunately I don't have a HP printer. I know that recent versions of cups have been a nightmare with permissions...perfectly good setups suddenly stop and cannot get working again..problems with the backends , filter and device permissions it seems. This version is supposed to cure that so is very appreciated that you are working on it but as for HP I'm unsure as this uses addition stuff (technical term) so perhaps outside of these fixes...wow I'm no comfort eh....testers wanted...apply within.
By the way I tried a recent copy og 4.20 and I'm very impressed and so was our lodger after I spent ages setting up and customising 4.12 for him.....oh c'est la vie.
On topic time....I noticed someone had tried the vlc stripped? which is on my site and was using it!!!! so I thought I'd better try it in 4.12.
It does indeed work as such for some formats....avi/xvid/divx/mp3 ...but some...flv/wmv it says 'no can do'.....ffmpeg methinks which was my previous conclusion.
I did try 4.12 ffmpeg by symlinking in libavcodec etc...
result was ok and fail on exactly the same formats but this time crashed on the 'no can dos' with 'segmentation fault'. In my simple head does this suggest errors with the calls/linking of the relevent codecs rather than the codecs themselves?
This also gives me the impression that you were pretty close with your compilation efforts .
Apart from extra functionality new formats are creeping in that the older vlc/ffmpeg cannot handle though I wondered if vlc(0.8.6) can be compiled to use external avcodec? That previous thought may need total disregard as 0.9.2 does. Now I am definately rambling so I shall pause for a word from our sponsers....
mike
lightbulb time...the avcodec vlc plugin = area of bug...off to test

Are you compiling with shared ffmpeg Ttuuux? Apparently it is possible, but when I tried, make install ran out of room in my save file... I'm hoping it only needs all that space temporarily
If you just want fun, you should try running in Wine... the 0.8.x series works great in it anywayLooking forward to trying this one out....why should windows users have all the fun lol
Do you know a good gtkdialog program? Please post a link here

well I'm on 2 day of it, I'll give it a shot
Still having that playback issue with the dvd, but atleast this time it keeps playing, just a paused image on the screen. But its a start
I'm thinking about compiling ffmpeg, I was using the one from the repo and dev files, but that one is the bare min version.
all the other packages are compiled fresh, well over 40 now

Hi,
Installed vlc-0.8.6h-engv5.pet into PuppyLinux 4.2v2 - cannot select files, open files, settings etc.
from cli
[00000279] main dialogs provider error: no dialogs provider module matched "any"
[00000276] skins2 interface error: no suitable dialogs provider found (hint: compile the wxWidgets plugin, and make sure it is loaded properly)
[00000276] skins2 interface: skin: VLC 0.8.5 Default Skin author: aLtgLasS
[00000354] main dialogs provider error: no dialogs provider module matched "any"
[00000276] skins2 interface error: no suitable dialogs provider found (hint: compile the wxWidgets plugin, and make sure it is loaded properly)
this was in a full install of 4.2v2
then tried live cd of 4.2v2 - same problems
then tried live cd of 4.2 - works fine. Also tried 42 skins and vlc default file selection both work ok.
also worked fine in 4.12
DC
p.s. anybody tried vlc 0.9.9a?

Does vlc support dvb-t?
Hi ttuuxxx
Many thanks for all your efforts on behalf of the Puppy community...
A question about the vlc pet - did you include the dvb-enable option to provide dvb-t support?
Regards
Peter

vlc -v or it should give you the configurations. Are you into digital brodcasting? Sounds like fun if you are.

Hi ttuuxxx
I am trying to get dvb-t reception under retro Puppy4.0 on a Thinkpad 600 !!!
"vlc -l" shows some mentions of dvb:
dvbsub DVB subtitles decoder
dvbsub DVB subtitles encoder
playlist DVB playlist import
vlc can open my channels.conf file (DVB playlist import), and does seem to recognise each dvb-t channel however for each it gives the error:
main input error: no suitable access module for 'dvb:'
so I guess the support is only partial?

Peter

Well what you could do, is find a similar version say at the ubuntu repo and add the plugin, since its compiled with it enabled, then simply all you need is the plugin, and matching deps. Thats goodnews,peebee wrote:Hi ttuuxxx

vlc 8.6h
I read someone's earlier post reporting the same thing, but did not see how the problem was solved. I loaded all files including locals but the player comes up and then none of the controls will respond.
Don't know what to do -------HHHHEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPP!
thx,
Vito
