Puppy 5.0 - VLC problems
Hi,
Just installed Puppy 5 [frugal installation]. In addition I installed VLC media player, I used the link provided on the first page to download the latest version of the VLC media player.
However, when I tried to start it, it does not run. The messages I am getting are about some skins2 problem (see attached screen shot). Earlier in this thread I seem to remember to have read that VLC is not using anymore skins. What is the problem?

Use vlc 1.0.6 lucid pet. From the puppy lucid repo in the PPM or from quickpet installer, might need updated version. There is also straight link:

Vlc 1.0.6 made from the ubuntu binaries works fine in Lucid Puppy.

The compiling story, vlc 1.0.6 lucid pet, are during the pages of the Next Step Towards Lucid Puppy 5.1 - Luci-206: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=55740
There is no dedicated compiling page unfortunately. Most new packages for Lucid Puppy are along that thread. But you could ask playdayz or 01micko about your problems. They are usually very helpful.

I have the same problem with media connectivity on 4.2 as well..willem1940NLD wrote:Puppy Lupu 501; I downloaded VLC but cannot get it to work yet in/with firefox, although i also took the firefox addon mediaplayer connectivity.. Suppose possible plugins (gxine) may cause a conflict.
Although it did work on one site, with QuickTime videos..

I also downloaded pulseaudio which sometimes seems to help .... but, like experienced before in SUSE distros, critical dependency base files libiconv perlapi-5.10.0 missing.
Further, i remember from VLC forum, newer ALSA is still under construction.

Vlc 1.0.6 made from the ubuntu binaries works fine in Lucid Puppy.
This worked perfectly.
Thank you.Every one I tried before failed.
System specs:
Puppy 5.01
933 MHz
512 MB RAM
Downloaded the .Pet file,
clicked it.
Presto.
NOTE: VLC Player only works for me when I have MPlayer installed (from Puppy Package Manager). When I uninstalled Mplayer (thinking I didn't need it) I found that VLC no longer looked or worked the same.
I reinstalled MPlayer and VLC fired right back up.

I'll give this a try ... although it is a rather old VLC version (1.1.0 around and 1.1.1 coming soon)Nican Tlaca wrote:pemasu wrote:Use vlc 1.0.6 lucid pet. From the puppy lucid repo in the PPM or from quickpet installer, might need updated version. There is also straight link:

Strange ... 1.0.6 does NOT work for me; firefox doesnt see it and clicking in menu renders a disformed & frozen window I have to use "kill" against.
Could Ext4 format be of influence? Seems to be the only difference.
Puppy lupu 501
1000MHz, RAM 780MB, 2xHD 80GB, 2xSWAP 2GB
MPlayer (other pet) working better than native Gxine; Mplayer removed temporarily for the purpose, VLCplayer removed & reinstalled, 2x computer restart between all actions.
Very sorry indeed.

I should add that it only works for me after I have installed Mplayer from the Puppy Package Manager.
When uninstalled MPlayer, VLC no longer worked.
I reinstalled MPlayer and it went right back to working.

I also have AlsaPlayer installed, although I don't think that has anything to with it.

(*.wmv)
Added Mplayer again. Opening from menu o.k now. Firefox doesnt see, just uses MPlayer .....
Installed Firefox Addon Mediaplayer Connectivity. Mplayer, but mention: "New Face Failed ..." click o.k, extra "DVD-player(!)" comes in.
Confusing to me, but *.wmv video so far seems better, more stable than before, no parttime blurrings seen yet.
All a bit complicated, but will keep it this way for the time being.

Pity. Found old 'tricky" wmv streams back on web, that in the good old days got a remark by VLC and were played without sound ... now totally refused.
Uninstalling Firefox Addon Mediaplayer Connectivity which in my experience does not like "plugins" (don't know how to uninstall existing plugins Gxine & Mplayer).
No substantial improvements so far.

It's at the top of the page, right below the first screenshot. Shouldn't need a Firefox plugin after that.
