Title: VLC
Post by: pedantik on April 26, 2020, 05:05:21 AM
I'm pretty much a Linux beginner.  I've installed Tiny Core and have managed to get a couple of apps working such as Gftp and PCManFM working.
I'm having the devil's own trouble getting VLC to work. I got vlc3.tcz installed and the icon appears in the dock, but refuses to run.  I have a .avi file on the hard in /home/tc.  Right clicking on that and selecting open with reveals no installed applications.
Any ideas where I might be going wrong.

Which version and architecture have you installed?
Title: Re: VLC
Post by: pedantik on April 26, 2020, 05:13:07 AM
I downloaded the Core Plus ISO the Core x86 Project Version 11.1 from http://tinycorelinux.net/downloads.html
Title: Re: VLC
Post by: Juanito on April 26, 2020, 05:43:19 AM
CorePlus uses the tiny x server Xvesa by default - I'm not sure vlc will work with this, but apart from that, it looks like it has a missing dep on libidn.

What happens if you load the libidn extension and then enter the command "vlc" in a terminal window?
Title: Re: VLC
Post by: pedantik on April 26, 2020, 06:02:41 AM
Many thanks for your reply.  I installed libidn.tcx.  After that I ran vlc /home/tc.sample.avi
I got a video output, but no audio
main decoder error: failed to create audio output.
So I have no audio configured.
Title: Re: VLC
Post by: Juanito on April 26, 2020, 06:16:16 AM
You could try installing the alsa-config and pavucontrol extensions, opening pavucontrol and then running vlc again
Title: Re: VLC
Post by: pedantik on April 26, 2020, 06:19:29 AM
I installed  pavucontrol.tcz  and pulseaudio is there.
I attach my error screen now

@pedantik

I am on 64 bit with an AMD APU. I show my code box to help you dismiss some errors. However, if you want video acceleration and are on a nvidia chipset ....you may need to install more packages

Code: [Select]
vlc 3points.mp4
VLC media player 3.0.8 Vetinari (revision 3.0.8-0-gf350b6b5a7)
[00000000016a9430] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-tc'
libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate
libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate
Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate
QObject::~QObject: Timers cannot be stopped from another thread



the main things to look at are dependent on whether you have alsa set up ....choose alsa in your sound
tools -> preferences -> output ...pulldown and select alsa

or pulseaudio setup ....select pulseaudio

For most people ...automatic works fine.

You can dismiss
libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate
Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so
libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set.....because it tells you it has set up something else

You can not dismiss errors for
main audio output...........I suggest you chose the wrong one or chose the right one but its not set up correctly
main decoder.....you are missing a decoder for the format of file you chose.

Please confirm you have set up and have alsa working correctly thru the speaker test
and or pulseaudio working correctly

If they set up properly we may ask for a list of tce installed to see if you are missing one.

their info files are important

Good luck

Post by: Juanito on April 26, 2020, 10:00:41 AM
Thanks aus9 I don't get a sound on speaker-test

If you've started pavucontrol, which starts pulseaudio, the alsa sound test will not work because pulseaudio has taken control of the audio output.

The pulseaudio error you show is because you started pulseaudio without first starting the dbus daemon. You need to either:

* start pavucontrol, which starts the dbus daemon and pulseaudio
or
* start the dbus daemon and then "pulseaudio -vv"
Title: Re: VLC
Post by: pedantik on May 08, 2020, 11:55:20 PM
I've started all over and am using TC 10.1 on an HP Elitebook
I have downloaded alsa-config.tcx,  alsamixergui.tcz, alsa-modules-4.19.10-tinycore.tcx and alsa.tcz
Alsa speaker test works with speaker-test -Ddefault:1 -c2 wav -l1
Sound works fine with VLC when I select Alsa sound and the correct audio device.
However I'm stumbling over getting AlsaMixerGui to work. When I click on the icon I get the following error:
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
Is there a file I need to edit to get alsamixergui to work with my soundcard?
Title: Re: VLC
Post by: aus9 on May 09, 2020, 12:19:18 AM
thanks to Juanito prev reply...I am assuming at this stage....you intend not to use pulseaudio.
until you get a better reply...

Open a terminal and try out different card numbers for alsa as shown and report if you now see a mixer and what card number was that.

Code: [Select]
alsamixergui -c0
alsamixergui -c1

Top line for mixer command attempting to access card zero not card o

BTW, I assume you know you can set mixer levels in vlc?

good luck
Title: Re: VLC
Post by: pedantik on May 09, 2020, 12:31:02 AM
Many thanks aus9.  Yeah decided to stick with alsa.
alsamixergui -c1 brings up the alsamixer controls! Card 1 which I expected HDA Intel PCH Chip: Realtek ALC3228
Great!
Thanks for the tip re levels in VLC.  I hadn't seen those - the non working alasamixergui irks me so much.
Title: Re: VLC
Post by: aus9 on May 09, 2020, 04:00:55 AM
shortcut to VLC mixer levels is CTRL + e keys
The master volume is still in bottom right corner of player.
click small icon to left of volume to mute
I use mouse to slide volumes to right of icon.

Are you still having troubles with VLC or with alsamixergui?

Have you tried the terminal command
Code: [Select]
alsamixer -c1
If interested, we can offer ways of fixing alsamixergui to NOT need -c1
but it involves swapping your card index.

It might help if I know how well you have grasped the idea of persistence
especially in relation to starting up a media player and the volumes to play the last track
are exactly the same.

It can lead to information overload, so no need to reply for a few days.

Post by: pedantik on May 09, 2020, 04:20:18 AM
Many thanks...no alsamixer gui in terminal is working well thanks to your assistance ...no more sound trouble.  Just that the alsamixer gui icon reports an error though.  It's probably configured to loo for the wrong sound card
Title: Re: VLC
Post by: pedantik on May 09, 2020, 04:23:29 AM
I've been running TC on a variety of systems...on some sounds work straight away, on others, not so much.  I've installed on PC hard drive too which makes it easier then next time I reboot, but booting with USB or CD, I need to get persistence working, yeah.  So probably should say I don't really understand how.
Title: Re: VLC
Post by: aus9 on May 09, 2020, 04:40:17 AM
yeah well I may not be the best person to teach you, as I am on 64 bit with 8G of RAM and don't care too much about some things.

Let me keep it simple

Do you use a bootcode like home=sdxn?
In which case, IMHO you should not have home in your backup.

If you have a persistent home, any changes there are entirely at your own risk.
If you have home in your backup
then you will have an entry for home in
Quote
/opt/.filetool.lst
Then mydata.tgz will have home dir inside it....to be saved on shutdown and to be restored on bootup.

This slows me down as I am impatient. So I use a bootcode for a persistent home.

The choice is yours.

You might like to read
bootcodes http://tinycorelinux.net/faq.html#bootcodes
mount mode for persistent tcedir http://tinycorelinux.net/concepts.html
Persistent Home  same link

but....most people start off with cloud mode so a backup file is created with their home dir in it.
Title: Re: VLC
Post by: aus9 on May 09, 2020, 09:10:20 PM
Now the mixer levels can be affected by which card has index 0 or 1.

when you are ready....try this simple file to see if we can swap your index.
copy and paste the code box into a terminal
Code: [Select]
echo 'pcm.!default {
        type hw
        card 1
}

ctl.!default {
        type hw           
        card 1
} ' > ~/.asoundrc

then when ready full reboot. Then see if card has swapped by running

Code: [Select]
aplay -l
output will show analog either on card 0 (desired)  or still on card 1

On 64 bit this fails for me. I have a much more complicated method.
If card has swapped...running alsamixergui (without specifying -c1) should now bring up your analog mixer settings.

I prefer not to discuss persistence of mixer levels until we see if a simple swap method works for you.
Title: Re: VLC
Post by: pedantik on May 09, 2020, 11:54:26 PM
Thanks aus9
All I did so far was this:
Run:

sudo alsactl store
Run:

echo alsactl restore >> /opt/bootlocal.sh
Run:

echo usr/local/etc/alsa/asound.state >> /opt/.filetool.lst
Run a backup to save your setup.
Title: Re: VLC
Post by: aus9 on May 10, 2020, 01:51:22 AM
Yeah but I wanted to see if we could swap your index first.
those mixer levels will have a "reversed" card number.

but sure if you do not want to swap....there is another way to run alsamixergui -c1

we create a local bin file ....its not faster but might suit you?

Code: [Select]
echo '#!/bin/sh
tce-load -i alsamixergui
exec alsamixergui -c1' > ~/.local/bin/mix
chmod +x  ~/.local/bin/mix

If you always want to have alsamixergui in your boot list delete the entire line
tce-load -i alsamixergui

To test with or without that line, without swapping index try
Code: [Select]
mix
If you want an easy way to use a GUI text editor (bias showing)
use Apps to download only leafpad
then load leafpad
Code: [Select]
tce-load -i leafpad
leafpad ~/.local/bin/mix

If you like leafpad, you could download leafpad as "onboot" so its in your boot list.
Title: Re: VLC
Post by: pedantik on May 10, 2020, 02:22:24 AM
Yeah I will do that as you suggest.  However, I started again on a different PC and the basic sounds instructions  from http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/doku.php?id=wiki:setting_up_sound
worked straight off.  I'll get back to the HP laptop and try what you've suggested.
Many thanks
Title: Re: VLC
Post by: aus9 on May 10, 2020, 03:31:12 AM
yeah but did you test just alsamixergui?
I am thinking depending on what you have for that other PC....you might see the same issue as you have already reported?

just saying.
Title: Re: VLC
Post by: pedantik on May 10, 2020, 03:35:10 AM
The new installation just worked straight away...the alsamixergui icon didn't return any errors at all.
And I was able to play mp3 with VLC.
I also managed to add pulseaudio and pavucontrol and play Youtube stuff with sound via Firefox.

Hi aus9.
Many thanks for your help.
I'm trying again on the HP Elitebook.
Ill try the file you sent to see if I can swap my index.
On it the sound card comes up as card 1
I've experimented with an install on an older Lenovo laptop and aplay -l returns card 0
Title: Re: VLC
Post by: pedantik on May 13, 2020, 04:47:24 AM
I tried that code.
aplay -l now returns this:
Code: [Select]
tc@box:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC3228 Analog [ALC3228 Analog]

so card is still 1

@pedantik

I have an equal failure to swap index using that exact file.

now delete it....it was just a test.....
Code: [Select]
rm -rf ~/.asoundrcFull reboot then

For the faulty sound device ... are you using pulseaudio? In which case run
Code: [Select]
tce-load -i pavucontrol adwaita-icon-theme
pavucontrol
Go to the end tab for pulseaudio control panel
Look and you will see 2x HD Audio Generics.
Pull down the top one....choices will include hdmi
--> change that to Off please

pull down the bottom one choices will vary but probably include
analog stereo output....if you are using speakers....this is what you need.

there is a slight chance those are reversed....but if card 1 is analog me thinks not.
Title: Re: VLC
Post by: pedantik on May 13, 2020, 06:22:24 AM
I did

and rebooted. My sound is still dead though. Light on laptop is reporting off as soon as tiny core boots.
I can't get alsamixer gui working at all; not with -c0 or -c1
I haven't got pulseaudio on this install, no, but I can get.

Then download it. It is needed otherwise the icons in pavucontrol are empty boxs.

where is the pulseaudio control panel?

It will either be the icon in wbar if you are using wbar, or depending on your desktop, appear in your menu.

You need to set up pulseaudio as per its info file before attempting to use its control panel called pavucontrol.

You are not forced to use pulseaudio with vlc. You can use alsa or pulseaudio. vlc will normally detect either and attempt to use pulseaudio (I believe) if it can.

If you are using alsa with vlc.....and prefer not to use pulseaudio...you must have speaker-test working correctly.
If you are using vlc with pulseaudio.....as Juanito has said in the past,  pulseaudio takes over the controls of alsa,
so you can not "pass" the speaker-test

The choice is yours. And it is acceptable that you set up one PC with alsa only and the other with pulseaudio.
Altho it the future it might have been better to start a new thread for each device.

Code: [Select]
pulseaudio -vvv  # slight variation from info file
SNIP out useless info
E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed

E stands for error .....but I show you this.....because its an ignorable error because pulseaudio has ALREADY been set up correctly. So it attempts to start the daemon.....but its already started
So it attempts to create a pid file.......but its already created.

Not all errors are bad. I want to show these.....are ignorable.

the sequence in pulseaudio info file is important and can not be skipped (I show the both 32/64 bits)
http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/10.x/x86_64/tcz/pulseaudio.tcz.info
http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/10.x/x86/tcz/pulseaudio.tcz.info

In part one, no pulseaudio is running.....you set up alsa
in part one, you set up dbus daemon
It assumes you have pulseaudio in your boot list

in part 2 you start pulseaudio and can not skip ahead to create the autostart file called ~/.X.d/pulseaudio
unless pulseaudio is running correctly.

Thanks aus9. There’s quite a bit there for me to digest.
When it seemed to me that my sound had been killed by what I’d done to this HP Elitebook 840 G3, I rebooted and did a fresh install. I’ll retrace my steps. I think I only need Pulseaudio to get sound working with Firefox. Alsa worked ok for me with VLC.
I’ve also downloaded the Tiny Core book as it’s obvious I need a lot more knowledge.

Hello pedantik,

I am also starting on Tiny Core Plus.

I had difficulties similar to yours.

The audio worked, then vlc3.tcz, it worked, but the audio did not work with firefox.tcz.

When the audio worked with firefox.tcz to have sound on Youtube, vlc3.tcz stopped working.

It was easier to use alsa-config.tcz and pavucontrol.tcz, being loaded in this order, with audio and volume control with the pavucontrol icon in the menu.

Vlc3.tcz would be the best choice, to play video files and audio files, but as I couldn't solve the problem, I found it easier to use the programs that worked, after several tests, mplayer-cli.tcz and xmms.tcz solved the problem and worked at the same time without causing conflicts with the firefox.tcz audio. Yes I put the three to play at the same time and it worked. Mplayer-cli.tcz to play video files and xmms.tcz to play audio files. It is a pity that mplayer-cli.tcz was not as powerful as xmms.tcz.

Don't give up on Tiny Core Plus, this distribution will save many computers from being discarded as they are impossible to run Windows 7 or 10.

Olá pedantik,

Eu também estou iniciando no Tiny Core Plus.

Eu tive dificuldades semelhantes as suas.

O áudio funcionou, depois o vlc3.tcz, funcionou, mas o áudio não funcionava com o firefox.tcz.

Quando o áudio funcionou com firefox.tcz para ter som no Youtube, o vlc3.tcz parou de funcionar.

Foi mais fácil usar alsa-config.tcz e o pavucontrol.tcz, sendo carregados nesta ordem, com isso tinha áudio e o controle de volume com o ícone do pavucontrol no menu.

O vlc3.tcz seria a melhor escolha, para tocar arquivos vídeos e arquivos de áudio, mas como eu não consegui resolver o problema, achei mais fácil usar os programas que funcionaram, após vários testes, o mplayer-cli.tcz e xmms.tcz resolveram o problema e funcionaram ao mesmo tempo sem causarem conflitos com o áudio do firefox.tcz. Sim coloquei os três para tocarem ao mesmo tempo e funcionaram. O mplayer-cli.tcz para tocar arquivos vídeos e o xmms.tcz para tocar arquivos de áudio. É uma pena que o mplayer-cli.tcz não se mostrou tão poderoso quanto ao xmms.tcz.   

Não desista do Tiny Core Plus, esta distribuição irá salvar muitos computadores de serem descartados por serem impossíveis de rodarem Windows 7 ou 10.

Espero ter ajudado.

The audio worked, then vlc3.tcz, it worked, but the audio did not work with firefox.tcz.

When the audio worked with firefox.tcz to have sound on Youtube, vlc3.tcz stopped working.

I've been unable to duplicate this error - as long as pulseaudio is setup first, sound works for me in both vlc3 and firefox.

Perhaps you had vlc3 setup to use alsa (firefox cannot use alsa) and after pulseaudio was setup for firefox it blocked alsa sound in vlc3 - this being said, you should be able to use the vlc3 menu tools/preferences/audio to set the audio output to pulseaudio if it was previously set to alsa.

As part of the troubleshooting I updated vlc3 anyway.

Hi Juanito,

When vlc3.tcz worked, it did not display the menu, the video played but did not have the menu.

I will uninstall (delete) all the old vlc extension with Apps: Regular Applications (tcz) and download the updated version of vlc3.tcz again.

Then I'll let you know the result, I hope it works.

Thankful.

Olá Juanito,

Quando o vlc3.tcz funcionava não exibia o menu, o vídeo tocava mas não tinha o menu.

Eu vou desinstalar (deletar) toda a extensão antiga do vlc com o Apps: Regular Applications (tcz) e baixar novamente a versão atualizada do vlc3.tcz.

Depois te informo o resultado, espero que funcione.

Grato.

You don't need to delete your existing vlc3 extension - if you use the apps gui maintenance/check for updates and select the new vlc3 extension, it will be available after reboot.

Note that before testing the new vlc3, you need to do the following

* delete any vlc settings restored by your back-up, "rm -rf /home/tc/.config/vlc"
* start pavucontrol by clicking on the icon

..then vlc should work as expected.
