vlc
Jason W:
Thanks to Arslan S. for:
--- Code: ---Title: vlc.tczl
Description: VLC is more than a media player.(TESTING)
Version: 0.9.10
Author: VideoLAN Team
Original-site: http://www.videolan.org
Copying-policy: GPL v2
Size: 9M
Extension_by: Arslan S.
Comments: VLC media player is a highly portable multimedia player supporting most audio
and video formats (H.264, Ogg, DivX, MKV, TS, MPEG-2, mp3, MPEG-4, aac, ...)
from files, physical media (DVDs, VCD, Audio-CD), TV capture cards and many
network streaming protocols.
This is the latest version in Grischenko branch.
VLC has a huge dependency so it is built by disabling most of them and only
including most essential ones for playing most popular formats.
One of the things you have to do when you first run vlc is to show full path to a valid font
in Tools->Preferences->Subtitle menu. You can find one in /usr/local/share/vlc/skins2/fonts
You can also choose the proper character encoding here for your subtitles.
There are also some suggested options to increase performance while playing hd movies.
Go to Tools->Preferences, in bottom left corner click on "All" in "Show settings" then
expand Input/Codecs->Access modules->File, set "Caching value in ms" to 1000 (maybe more).
Again in Input/Codecs, expand "Other codecs"->FFmpeg->Decoding and configure
"Skip the loop filter for H.264" as "All"
Skins enabled so have a look at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/skins.php
and put the ones you like most in the directory ~/.local/share/vlc/skins2
Go to Tools->Preferences->Interface and choose Skins in Interface Type and restart vlc.
vlc will start in default skin. If you want to change skin right click on somewhere near
vlc buttons then Interface->Select skin, if you put your skin files in the directory above
your skins should appear.
Note: If you put your skin in a different directory you can show full path to it in
Tools->Preferences->Interface->Interface Type->Skins menu.
Note: This build does not depend on Xorg but I recommend it if you want to watch hd movies.
Note: You need OSS or ALSA for sound, both enabled.
Note: I can rebuilt if any disabled feature is requested or vice versa.
Built without native language support(Gui is english only).
This extension is PPI compatible.

This works nicely, only ogg is not supported among the formats I use.
I hope you don't mind if I eventually produce a gtk2 version that installs into it's own self contained directory as to not clash with this or other ones.

Sure no problem but new versions dont have gtk interface i think and building old version can be a little problem. As i said in info i can rebuilt since i still keep all the required libs built ready to install. I will rebuild with nearly all codecs and resubmit ;)
Jason W:
Better yet, I won't take on a different build of vlc as this qt one is very nice. With ogg support, it will fully support my uses as well.

Can't get DVDs to play
I get the following errors:
[00000344] main interface error: option dvdnav-caching does not exist
[00000344] main interface error: option dvdnav-caching does not exist
[00000344] main interface error: option dvdnav-caching does not exist
[00000349] main access error: no access module matched "dvd"
[00000347] main input error: open of `dvd:///dev/dvd' failed: could not create access: no access module matched "dvd"
I suppose this version of VLC was build without DVD support?
Other features I would like:
- OGG playback (already mentioned by other poster)
- Amiga-style module (MOD, S3M, XM,...) playback
Except for this, VLC plays everything I throw at it......very nice work!
