Wouldn't the mp4 plugin from 8.6h work on 1.0 ? also iconv is a simple dep to compile I've don it a few times. But I guess he deleted everything, well it is probably one of the hardest apps to compile and don't blame him at all.

ICONV, once I managed to obtain it and figure out where to put things (not just install it but put it into the VLC directory) wasn't the problem - it was that literally every ./configure for about 10 times was "3 warnings, 1 error" so I had to disable more things, and eventually getting to make it was "error - iconv isn't here" so I made that and fiddled with it and got it working, then it was "undefined identifier in file.c" -- at which point I got rather fed up with trying to compile something for which the developers had not seen fit to produce a "this is a dependency list and these are the unusual features you can turn off and this is the dependency that isn't mentioned clearly ANYWHERE but causes an undefined identifier that doesn't clearly say where to get the dep for it"...ttuuxxx wrote:Wouldn't the mp4 plugin from 8.6h work on 1.0 ? also iconv is a simple dep to compile I've don it a few times.

VLC is by far one of the more difficult apps I've ever come across to compile. And since I started on the project with the intention of getting a mp3 player that played better than pmusic (sorry zigbert, but it really glitches out on every song I've put through it, in some cases playing the same song over and over again in the middle of the playlist, and not showing very well where in the playlist it is or progress in the song), and decided in the end to use XMMS, I've come to LOVE the clean behavior of just working... lol.
Also, VLC just seems like they aren't interested in the Linux port quite as much, amazingly enough.
That being said, we ARE compiling on a distro built to strip out everything not immediately necessary, so common libs and deps that are usually available are a bit harder to come by sometimes.

Which version of puppy are you compiling on? I've compiled Iconv on 4.2, 2.14XGedrean wrote:bit harder to come by sometimes.
also Since you like XMMS, you'll probably love this 25 band per ch. EQ plugin, I had it going on XMMS a few months back running live and lost it, lol anyways it sounds really nice, here a link to the sources, maybe package it up and release it in the xmms thread so others might enjoy it also

Hmmm, that's annoying. Gotcher EQ and building it now for fun (what is WRONG with me?) and it wants a newer GLIB... huh.
I wonder if that's Glibc.
EDIT: Nope, It's "GLib" -- and I'm gonna be building another thing.
Maybe there's a glib pet...
EDIT: Huzzah there is! Making my day easier one step at a time.
Hopefully that works...

I did package up glib beforeGedrean wrote:And undeclared/undefined identifier errors when compiling GLib.
I must have gotten boned somewhere on this deal.
*sigh* late, tired, think I'll figure that out tomorrow.
I don't understand why this is so complicated sometimes.
here's a link, also dev files are posted

Alright I think I've identified the problem - and that is that the GLib library changed to no longer bother with this glib-config script - end result the EQU won't compile, because your package is the same as the other I DL'd - doesn't gen this config script.
So, actions to take... well, I could go through the EQ code and try to de-emphasize that script - lord knows THAT"LL go well!
After: Having looked through the code, and done some research, in order to compile this lovely little plugin I would need to have GTK 1 and GLib 1.2.10 -- since installing an old GLib would, I'm sure, cause problems, at this point I have to stop - maybe someone with an older puppy build can play with it, unfortunately as the Puppy is currently the platform from which all my computer recovery work is being performed I can't swap down to a diff disc for some time, so this particular "fad project" of mine is going to have to be put on ice.
I did however get a look at BMPx (http://bmpx.backtrace.info/) which is the current incarnation of Beep - and it looks FANTASTIC. It's up to date, recent... only problem is that drasted iTunes interface. Oh well, for now XMMS is my place to live, with it's sad sad 7 or 8 slider Eq.
Good luck on that, it's more work than it's producing results right now, and unfortunately while I am a programmer at heart my lifestyle right now doesn't afford me much patience or ability to invest myself in this, so I'm afriad I'd rather not get this frustrated over something that was, essentially, a whim.

If your using XMMS that means you already have glib1.2 and gtk1.2 installed, glib 1.2 plays great with glib2 and same with gtk, All you have to do is go to the slackware 12.0 repo and download glib and gtk 1.2 it also comes with the dev files.Gedrean wrote:Alright I think I've identified the problem - and that is that the GLib library changed to no longer bother with this glib-config script - end result the EQU won't compile, because your package is the same as the other I DL'd - doesn't gen this config script.

Sorry guys for leaving everyone in the lurch. I have been unwell for some time but am now ready to make up for lost time.
I think VLC 1.0x is really not going to work with Puppy until the Glibc library is updated. To be honest, the old VLC pet that ttuuxxx made is probably better value in terms of speed and stability anyway.
I have tried VLC 1.0 on a few different distros and it always seems slow and a bit buggy. If it wasn't for the fact that the DVD navigation library (libdvdnav) that comes with Mplayer is rubbish I wouldn't use VLC at all. SMPlayer is a far better option now, or the old 0.8.6 VLC.
*edit* got the right spellink?

Hmmmmm
Well, I for one hope that one of you brighter-than-me people figures out a good, stable PET of the latest VLC. I love VLC, but unfortunately, the 0.8.6h PET is not stable on DVDs, and playback crashes often (every 5-10 mins) requiring a program restart.
Perhaps soon you will have a solution for me.

Hello,
While clicking on the 'VLC 1.0.0rc4' or 'VLC0.9.9a' links of the first post of this topic, I unfortunately get a page error:
Could somebody help me finding the way to download these VideoLan Media Player .pets?
Thank for your attention.
Regards.

I think that has to do with a problem SkyDrive (Microsoft) has with some browsers. Are you using Firefox?
You might need to (temporarily) change your browser's useragent string to make SkyDrive think you're using Internet Explorer.
Edit: Those are slightly out-of-date links, anyway, so they might not be valid anymore, as well. You might try the .pet technosaurus posted in this topic, here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 327#322327, or search for other VLC .pets in the forum.

FLV
I was happy with 8.6 until I tried to play downloaded flv files. Is there a way to modify 8,6 to play them or I am better off to go with 9 .9 pet?
I tried installing the newest pet and it locks the computer completely.
Or would I be better off with a completely different player?
Thanks
