Hi everyone,
I've recently installed OpenSUSE11, including the vlc package (0.8.6h-4.1-i686) from the Videolan repository -
http://download.videolan.org.pub/vid...vlc/SuSE/11.0/
In xWidgets mode, it works great, but when I try to switch to skins2 mode, VLC crashes.
I've tried with several different skins, and have got a number of different error messages after running "vlc -I skins2" in a terminal window.
Trying to use the default skin (/usr/share/vlc/skins2/default.vlt) produces this:
[00000291] skins2 interface: skin: VLC 0.8.5 Default skin author: aLtgLasS
... then it sits there until I Ctrl-C out of it.
I've tried downloading some other skins from
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/skins.php (saved to ~/.vlc/skins2/), and get a variety of different error messages depending on which skin I choose. Most of them result in something like this:
[00000291] main interface error: no suitable access module for '{skin name}'
[00000291] skins2 interface error: failed to open {skin name} for reading
[00000291] skins2 interface error: failed to parse {skin name}
[00000291] skins2 interface error: couldn't gzopen {skin name}
... then like before, it sits there until I Ctrl-C out of it.
With the ASNO3 skin (which I believe should be the same as the default skin), I get this:
[00000291] skins2 interface: skin: ASNO3 for VLC 0.8.6 author: Alexander Wecker (crix)
[00000291] skins2 interface error: unknown window (equalizer_window)
Again, I have to Ctrl-C to get out of it.
And with the MediaPlayer skin (just as another example) I get this:
[00000291] skins2 interface: skin: MediaPlayer 1.01 author: Asim Siddiqui
swScaler: 6x335 -> 6x335 is invalid scaling dimension
Segmentation fault
I've also tried replacing the vlc package with the alternative version from the packman repository (0.8.6h-1.pm.1-i586), and I get more or less the same thing, but with [00000312] instead of [00000291]
Can anyone tell me why this is happening, and how I might try to fix it? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
J.
