Thanks for the info... Check out my post above.. I updated to 0.7, this should fix your fullscreen problem..

I have to check out dpup - sounds GOOD!

Will do... But I think I made enough version for one day!! I'll post it tomorrow!

EDIT: vlc-gtk moved to its own thread...

Following dejan555s advice, I got subtitles and DVD/VCD playback working great..

The only problems remaining (that I care about) with 0.8.6 are the following:

1. No Audio CD playback.. I get

Code: Select all

[00000249] main input error: no suitable access module for `cdda://'
I get this on all my CDs, even when I specify the drive..

2. No audio on realmedia files such as .rm and .rmvb

I'm using 4.2 (TurboPup)... Any help people? I'm all out of ideas!

outdated vlc version

hi,

any specific reason you get stuck to vlc 0.8, while version 1 and beyond
has been released a good while ago!?

Yes.. It's the latest version that has been compiled for 4.2..
Other compiles (from dpup, for example) need a newer glibc, which is not found in most puppies..

I used this one because I didn't have all the DEV files (or the desire to find them) required to compile my own, updated version..

What exactly is better about the later versions? I'd be very happy with 0.8.6 if it was compiled with just a few more codecs supported (so we have working .rm, .rmvb, .m4a etc)

Is this version compiled without m4a support? I am afraid I don't know enough about these things to tell but apparently there is some bug in VLC which prevents playback of m4a even if it should be able to. Could that be the situation here?
