vlc-0.8.6i (Lite - no gui)

by technosaurus
I just compiled and stripped vlc-0.8.6i with no gui and it gets down small enough to fit in a forum post - it plays video extremely well though even on light hardware... you just need to use keyboard shortcuts (use CTRL+Q to exit or it will stay in the background)
TODO... I should probably remove the desktop file so it no longer does a menu entry and maybe set it as the default media player
Edit - see my second post for the deleted useless menu entry and set to defaultmediaplayer

Sorry should have mentioned it was compiled in 4.2....what does ldd /usr/bin/vlc say?
I'm uploading a new version that has no (useless) menu entry but will become the default media player (you may want to backup your /usr/local/bin/defaultmediaplayer file)

hmmm... impressively small number of deps but not too helpful for your problem must be one or the plugins in /usr/lib/vlc (not sure which to run ldd on yet)

also I compiled it against libdvdnav so if you want to test out dvd navigation you'll need that (everything else was stock 4.2)

you may need to recompile if you are up to it, so I am attaching my build ... let me know if you have any problems
./configure --disable-libmpeg2 --disable-wxwidgets --disable-skins2 --disable-nls --enable-dvdread --enable-release --prefix=/usr --build=i486-t2-linux-gnu --enable-run-as-root --enable-optimize-memory --disable-hal --enable-mostly-builtin --enable-cddax --enable-v4l --enable-real --enable-theora --disable-httpd
./compile
new2dir make install (choose option 3 to remove DEV and doc)
(in the ...486 folder you can delete /usr/share/vlc/ and run strip --strip-unneeded * on all of the files in /usr/lib/vlc/ to save space)
then run dir2pet on the ...486 folder
(feel free to run ./configure --help to find things that you don't want/need to disable ... and remove my --enable-* options as well)

run vlc -v and perhaps delete the /root/.vlc/cache/plugins-blah.dat so it can redetect plugins.
Most vlc compilations have ffmpeg built in (to the binary?) so yes the shared avcodec is most likely the problem...perhaps kidnap a set of the libs from puppy 4.

definately needs the later avcodec.
the other dependancies affect dvd (libdvdnav) and cd playpack (libcdda...)

Ok had a play with this.
On puppy 4 may need libdvdnav adding....menus work fine when added.
I also tried this on puppy 2.02..copied libavcodec, libavformat, libavutil, libpostproc and libvorbisenc from puppy 4.12 et voila works a treat...so a similar approach should work for puppy 3.
(never liked that clumsy wxwidgets setup anyway...why didn't they just extend the skins2 interface?)
Only missing blah was no mp4a support when viewing shoutcast tv stream...odd cause I thought ffmpeg supported that.
Overall this has great potential
mike
ps I tried this by removing plugins but never worked very well...guess compiling this way is the way to go...also neater for those wanting the streaming server / transcoding function.
What about having ncurses for a basic user interface?

found a way to make a gtk interface
http://www.semicomplete.com/projects/xdotool/ + GTKdialog
I found this which may be easier and allow for a similar interface to other pprograms that use gtkdialog
WID=`xdotool search --onlyvisible --name "vlc"`
xdotool windowfocus $WID
xdotool key s
(using the puppy control panel I previously wrote as a guide for the gtkdialog parts)
I am attaching my bz2 of the xdotool binary that I compiled ... probably should go in /usr/X11R7/bin if anyone else would like to play with it

Using it now in boxpup 4.1.3 - great, simply great - thanks TZ.
(The playback can be played full screen with the maximize button.)

I have packaged the second version as
ch-vlc_nogui-0.8.6.sfs. It will not become the defaultmediaplayer in any puplet except ChoicePup but it is on the right-click OpenWith menu. Highlight as many media files as you like, right click-OpenWith-vlc_mediaplayer and you have a playlist. Nicely done technosaurus.
Thanks, J
P.S. I created new MIME-types for mp4, flaac and ogg files. You can get them here:

no mp4a support when viewing shoutcast tv stream.
anyone else experienced this?

Please can you recompile this with Theora video support and can I have the flags you used please?
Did you also use these ones btw?
Code: Select all
--enable-faad --enable-real --enable-realrtsp --enable-tremor --enable-tarkin --enable-dirac

I'll have to check and see if the flags are still in the config.log
I basically disabled everything that was not included in default puppy so that it would compile without adding a bunch of extra libs. As for the codecs I don't recall 100%, but most likely they are automatically enabled if present, so if you have the libs and DEV files it should automatically be enabled (except for patented codecs) unless specifically disabled.

by abushcrafter
The reason I asked is all those codecs are disable by default.
Could I have a list of everything is not included in default puppy please?

I looked for my config.log and no luck, but the process was basically to enable everything (unless you know for sure that you don't want it), let the configure script do its checks and disable as necessary. If the configure script misses something and the build fails you may need to disable the offending feature then do make clean and make again.
since there are so many this snippet may help (should give you a file called enable flags that you can edit & cut/paste)
Code: Select all
./configure --help |grep enable |cut -s -d " " -f 1 |tr "\n" " " >enableflags
You can do the same thing for "with" and add it to the file
Code: Select all
./configure --help |grep with|cut -s -d " " -f 1 |tr "\n" " " >>enableflags
as far as the other optimization flags go - they are in pet packaging 101
