vlc


SuSE 10.0 GM

I just installed vlc though YaST.
However it does not seem to work. If I start it from shell with "vlc" I get >
Code:
[00000266] main dialogs provider error: no dialogs provider module matched "any"
[00000263] skins2 interface error: No suitable dialogs provider found (hint: compile the wxWidgets plugin, and make sure it is loaded properly)
[00000263] skins2 interface: skin: VLC OSX Interface  author: BigBen
[00000280] main dialogs provider error: no dialogs provider module matched "any"
[00000263] skins2 interface error: No suitable dialogs provider found (hint: compile the wxWidgets plugin, and make sure it is loaded properly)
This is what I found in the vlc forum >
Quote:
libcdio
libdvbpsi
vcdimager
wxGTK
wxGTK
I have installed all the above though YaST.
What do I need to do?

Thank you in advance.

vlc - Packman suggested dependencies

Packman suggestions the following packages are also useful for installing vlc:

for a): a52dec-0.7.4-3.pm.1.i586.rpm (a52dec)
for a): faad2-2.0-0.pm.6.i686.rpm (faad2)
for a): libffmpeg0-0.4.9-4.pm.cvs20051016.i686.rpm (ffmpeg)
for a): libdvbpsi3-0.1.4-0.pm.4.i586.rpm (libdvbpsi3)

for a): faac-1.24-0.pm.2.i586.rpm (faac)

Where a is vlc and b is vlc-devel
http://packman.links2linux.org/?action=377

I don't know if any of the above will help solve your problem.

Sometimes surfing the gentoo-portage runtime requirements lists can provide ideas:

I went through the list and was missing lots of stuff.

The things I could not get at guru and packman I found here -
http://rpm.pbone.net/
Then I installed vlc again and it runs perfectly.

Only thing I can say is that it took some time (for me anyway) were it only took a couple of minutes to install mplayer.
But I am excited about having vlc thanks again.

Glad to read its working. Nice to read of a success now and then, in this forum of problems.

I have not had a chance to try with subs yet.
I am unsure if vlc can handle subs under windows by itself or if it needs something like vobsub as support.
So dunno about linux.

I've been wanting and trying to install vlc for some time but I've only found the tarball. ./configure fails for the same reason, i.e.
configure: error: Missing header file ffmpeg/avcodec.h.

I'd be very interested in knowing where you found the (SuSE 10?) RPM and the steps it took getting it installed?

In the meantime, I haven't entirely given up on installing the tarball. YaST shows I do indeed have ffmpeg 0.4.9-4.pm.cvs20051016 (i686) installed. How do I tell ./configure where to look for it?

I have the exact same problem when I start it as a regular user. Under root, VLC loads the standard skin and runs fine but as a regular user, it uses a Mac OSX theme and when I start it with the console, it gives me the exact same message. (NOTE: I'm using the Baghira theme) I followed those dependencies list (since it was all installed through YaST) but I had chosen libdvbpsi4 instead of libdvbpsi3. I thought a higher number meant a better and later version. However, I guess I was wrong. When I try to reinstall VLC through YaST, it always insist on uninstalling libdvbpsi3 and installing libdvbpsi4. When I try it through the console, it says "libdvbpsi.so.4 is needed by vlc-0.8.4-1.pm.3" Though since VLC works under root, I don't think this is the problem.

As for the steps, I think this thread has the needed information re: dependencies.

You don't need to compile, but if your going to follow the list at gentoo first.
