VLC 1.0.0rc4 Media player .pet for Puppy
VLC Modzilla Plugin
Wonder if this pet has the VLC Modzilla Plugin?
If not, do you mind to give out some hints to get me going in compiling it from source?
I am running 4.2.1 Official Puppy and Firefox 3.0.11

Nope, doesn't include it. Unfortunately the entire thing has to be compiled to get that one part The plug in just embeds the VLC player in the browser, so it need to be built at the same time.
I will be attempting the compile again next week with the final release of vlc, perhaps I will do it then.
As for hints, I only just managed to compile it myself, it's a royal pain in the sultana.

EDIT: New Issue fixed, see below on how
No sound.
I have ALSA setup and working. VLC doesn't seem to have an ALSA output and only has oss. How would I get audio working?
UPDATE: This was fixed by downloading the following slackware package, decompressing and copying the alsa plugins to the audio_output directory. Worked like a charm. These should be included in the .pet

It most certainly does have ALSA output If your system ALSA is set up correctly it just uses that, I think.NoNameAmI wrote:EDIT: New Issue fixed, see below on how

No offence, but nobody else seemed to have to overlay another install. In fact, if the slackware version works, I would be inclined just to use that instead of trying to fix mine

in the past I've never had one of these work 100% plus they may not have the run as root option.(previous slackware tests og 0.9.x failed on puppy.)if the slackware version works,
I will test that package out of interest though a compilation made for puppy would be preferable.
ttuuxxx's 0.8.6h works very well for example.
I wonder which version NoNameAmI tested as the one's I ran did have alsa working.

Yep they have to be compiled specifically to run as root, or they fail with a message (but only if they are started from terminal) "Can't run as root".mikeb wrote:in the past I've never had one of these work 100% plus they may not have the run as root option.(previous slackware tests og 0.9.x failed on puppy.)if the slackware version works,

The 0.8.6 series is a bit easier to compile, it seems to be better designed. I get the feeling that the same team isn't involved with the later series, since even on Ubuntu and Fedora the 0.9x series seems buggy by comaprision, and possibly overloaded with bling at the expense of stability.

Well that was the impression we got in the past and why it was dropped for a while hoping the sources would be less buggy. Indeed your efforts are much closer to a 100% working result but it's obviously being awkward for you.The 0.8.6 series is a bit easier to compile, it seems to be better designed.

Perhaps try out the 'stable' version 1.0.0 as you suggested and see how that goes.

For those curious I was using 4.2.1 Barebones. ALSA was setup and was working (played sounds after setup). The .pet package of vlc I downloaded only came with basically OSS and when running vlc it complained of a lack of /dev/dsp
So, I found the alsa plugin and plopped it in and it worked.

Ok it's a case of pick n mix with vlc it seems.
I tried the slackware setup and
no run as root
missing symlinks for libvlc and libvlccore
no libiconv
complains that it wants glib 2.8
but with those things bodged from older packages it ran but no avcodec support which is not surprising.(probably wants newer version.
Actually skins support was better.
moral..for the ideal vlc grab parts from several packages till it works...mainly in the plugins department. I did the same for 0.8.6.
skins from 1.0.0...avcodec from V3....etc etc etc

mad but true

Great work sikpuppy!
Thanks !
However vlc 1.0 doesn't support V4L as capture device.
VLC 0.9.9 support V4L2 only. But common situation for puppy - poor machine with 1.1 usb and accordingly - old V4L cameras
Could you please include in your magnificent build of VLC additional V4L (V4L1) support?
PLEASE!!!

I am currently compiling with these options as a test run based on my no GUI compile - added gtk and pda to hopefully get a gui without much extra bulk

--enable-real --enable-theora --disable-httpd --disable-mozilla --disable-debug --disable-mmx --disable-sse --disable-gnutls --enable-pda --disable-remoteosd --disable-libgcrypt
NOTE had to comment these lines in ./modules/access/v4l2.c to get it to compile? anyone know ?

no go on the gtk "pda" gui
runs fine from terminal though without stripping or cutting it down it weighs in at a 2MB pet
anyhow it should look like this (but with puppy gtk theme) if I could get it to work without segfaulting
to start it is supposed to be
vlc -I pda

LOL I tried that about 3-4 months back, and I couldn't get it going, I guess we do think aliketechnosaurus wrote:no go on the gtk "pda" gui
