vlc fails to install,  liborc.tcz library missing

[Arslan S.]

liborc is submitted after vlc because i forgot it when submitting vlc update

[Jason W]

I will upload it tonight when I get back to my machine if Robert does not get to it first.

Uploaded now, waits for propagation on ibiblio!

Ok, thanks

New problem
Vlc don't play streaming, for example this: http://208.53.158.48:9564/listen.pls
I run vlc from console during this operation:

Code: [Select]

add libproxy-2.6.tcz to vlc dep try again
looking at http plugin shared object (libaccess_http_plugin.so) i see it depends on libproxy.so.0

i can play that stream btw

[vinnie]

Now streaming go right, you could add the library on dependencies of vlc?

[vinnie]

Thank Arslan for adding librpoxy to dependencies

[Arslan S.]

Thank Arslan for adding librpoxy to dependencies

[Juanito]

Do you get any error messages if you run vlc from a terminal window?

[Arslan S.]

run vlc as follows for getting level 0,1,2 messages

Code: [Select]

vlc -vvv

installed xmms as was told it has a smaller footprint - am trying to follow the "Robert" philosophy and despite having Perl and wifi and flash working have kept ONLOAD to under 10 files - or thereabouts thus far. I did like VLC on my Windows box but it had its problems there and if xmms works its the winner - looks fine but doesn't play flash videos - a bit of a problem because I publish, edit 2 - 5 videos a week, and like to pretest, but I'll see if I can get Firefox to view local as its flash is working and that will solve that.

Only problem with Firefox is it ignores MP3 and I looked at their plug ins - nope - ain't gonna install Java - always hated that "compile once - debug many" fat, bloated language.

So if anyone has a "tight patch" for MP3 in Firefox, as far as I am concerned if it works, I can dump all the music players and just do everything there locally including script it to make and run media play lists, which would save a bit of space since Firefox has to be on board at all times for me anyway.

You could search the web for mplayer-plugin, it works with Mplayer-nodeps. Latter could play mp3 and flash videos fine per se.
