[SOLVED] vlc.tcz and pulseaudio output may be missing?

[aus9]

Hi Arslan S.

TC  bit version with vlc version  2.0.1 and updates says ok

files for vlc suggest

Code: [Select]

usr/local/lib/vlc/plugins/audio_output/libpulse_plugin.la
usr/local/lib/vlc/plugins/audio_output/libpulse_plugin.so

should give me pulseaudio output plugins (plugouts? heh heh)

but when I start vlc, click Tools click plugins and extns
search plugins for keywords  "audio  output" , I can not see pulse mentioned
ditto if I chose pulseaudio

so when I try to choose PA by tools -> preferences -> audio  pulldown output, no pulse seen

any clues what I am doing wrong?

[Arslan S.]

you should run vlc with debug level 3 to check whether the plugin is loaded

Code: [Select]

vlc -vvv

[aus9]

thanks I will show first dbus

Code: [Select]

/usr/local/etc/init.d/dbus status
dbus is running.

that tmp issue may explain the last error

looking at libpulsecommon I do have a file, wrong version,  so I tried to be smart and failed quickly trying to sym link to tmp so tried this but still no luck and

Code: [Select]

ln -s /tmp/tcloop/libpulseaudio/usr/local/lib/pulseaudio/libpulsecommon-2.0.so /usr/local/lib/libpulseaudio/libpulseaudiocommon-1.1.so

error unchanged before and after sym link.

[Arslan S.]

i have updated vlc compiled against latest pulseaudio it will be in line soon but till then i will pm you a link to download it

[aus9]

Hi

thats wonderful service thanks heaps

I won't snapshot as you probably have tested yourself.

vlc now has option for pulseaudio

edit dropbox a few days ago was ok

[aus9]

sorry to trouble you again.

On the weekend I got around to looking at APPS and updates and noticed your tcz had hit the mirrors. So I deleted the "dropbox" version ...which is vlc for 32 bit TC and ran apps to download install vlc as onboot.

running vlc I could not see pulseaudio plugin.

As I has also changed a number of onboot items, initially I thought it was just me and spent a couple of days testing out various onboots....and strangely ....when I resorted to re-inserting the dropbox version....I still lost pulseaudio plugin.

Before I show my new output, another strange thing occurred which I have just noticed.
Yep I am a slow learner

/ (or root) has libva sitting there, I don't want to report it to TCB forum as I may be the only user affected

Code: [Select]

ls /
bin/  etc/   init  libva.tcz  opt/   root/  sbin/  tmp/  var/
dev/  home/  lib/  mnt/       proc/  run/   sys/   usr/

so then I started to look at the depends as your dropbox md5sum was a match to the apps for the depends file....my eyesight may not be the best, but do you think that updated packages in depends could be the reason?

(at least)
glib2 updated 21 oct 2012
libxml2 same date

Finally as it might just be me,  here is new error....qt4

Code: [Select]

EDIT ...fixed up a previous post showing xorg issues this is latest error set

[Arslan S.]

pulseaudio has been updated again after i submitted it that's why plugins can't be loaded because of missing libpulsecommon-2.0.so it is now libpulsecommon-2.1.so

another thing you point out about libva.tcz in your root folder is a problem with libva.tcz which is a dep of ffmpeg and therefore a dep of vlc

anyways i will rebuild and resubmit vlc with latest pulseaudio again

[Juanito]

Sorry about that, I hadn't realised that moving from 2.0 -> 2.1 would introduce incompatibilities - you'd think they'd keep it for moving from 2.0 -> 3.0...

[aus9]

EDIT

I have done a separate post to blofsy the downstream maintainer of libva  but just been advised he may not be active in this forum. So I have just sent a courtesy pm to see if he still wishes to maintain it.

publically I need to declare in advance, I might not be the best person to maintain libva. Sorry if that shocks anyone. I only need vlc fixed as I use vlc  for media plaer and an updating the PA wiki

[aus9]

ok I was able to compile a newer version of libva.

will submit after testing etc, if possible hang five on your rebuild please?

[Arslan S.]

i have done with rebuilding also i don't think your update to libva will break vlc
no problem if library major version is same as old one after update

[aus9]

thanks for your patience and time.
EDIT
just did an apps update and reboot with my tczs of libva

pulseaudio shows up as output in vlc

vlc plays with pulseaudio with (potential updated) libva

woo hoo

will submit after more tests

[aus9]

new libva needs no interaction so closing thread

thanks for your patience and skills
