Hi jibbynou, I've just resuscitated the [[Frequently Asked Questions]] (formerly [[FAQ]]). I don't know if/where you want to link it from: up to you :-) -- [[User:Yoann|Yoann]] 19:44, 1 March 2007 (CET)

== Win32 V. 0.8.6i Crash On Snapshot! ==

As of 8//8/08 I have discovered what looks like a bug inside of 0.8.6i when trying to right click and choose snapshot from the playing video. It crashed the application, and bogs down windows. This happened on windows XP Home sp2, Intel p4 2.53GHz 1GB ram. All updates on machine are current, and it also has the latest quicktime, windows media player, and winamp installed.

== Win32 Contribs 20070220 ==

There is some missing reference to gsm_ms_encoder and gsm_ms_decoder. I have tried to compile the libgsm, but there is no such method. Could you provide this library or give a hint, where to find it?
Besides when using your contrib some libraries need to be put in some directory named /home/videolan/j-b..... (sorry, I don't remember the path exactly (not sitting in front of the machine where I used your contrib - I will look it up on Sunday). Why does the vlc bootstrap/configure/compile reference this path which looks like it is your build path?

Thx in advance for answering my questions and keep up the good work!

:Well, this contrib may be broken because of the support and non-support of GSM in ffmpeg. This should be changed. Use another (older contrib), and I should do a new one in a few days.
::Thanks very much. I have now just added pseudo-methods for these two missing methods and it worked for me. --[[User:Hxp|Hxp]] 14:36, 14 March 2007 (CET)

== ALERT!!! PEOPLE CHARGING FOR VLC PLAYER!!!!! ==

If you download VLC player at this link http://www.vlc-mediaplayer.info/uk/ it will try to charge you £2 (via SMS) to install.
: Fixed.

== Thanks for the welcome ==

Thanks for the welcome message, Jean-Baptiste.

I've already made one suggestion [[Documentation Talk:EditingGuidelines|over here]].

As I get to know VLC, I'll try to make more contributions to the documentation wiki. I've also run a MediaWiki-based wiki for a couple of years:

http://www.screenpedia.org

But I wouldn't call myself a ''professional'' wiki admin!

No probs J-b. Je vais faire ca que je pouvais, et que je comprends ! [[User:Facius|Facius]] 14:39, 8 October 2007 (CEST)

Deux petits questions:

Est-ce que mon idee de stocker les images hors du wiki reste bien ?

Est-ce q'on sais pourquoi le Template Ed n'est pas present ? [[User:Facius|Facius]] 14:42, 8 October 2007 (CEST)

: Il faut réactiver les images alors. Je vais le faire. [[User:J-b|jb]] 18:34, 9 October 2007 (CEST)
: Ed ? waht's that ?

== Bureaucrat ==

Hi, could I be a bureaucrat? I'm already a sysop, and I'll feel complete if I'm a bureaucrat. (Even though I'll probably never make anyone a sysop) [[User:The thing|The thing]] ([[User talk:The thing|Talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/The thing|Contribs]]) 21:13, 8 August 2008 (CEST)

Hi,
I'm using your guide to compile VLC ([[User:J-b#My_VLC]]) under Ubuntu 8.10 but is outdated: 
"''configure: WARNING: --with-ffmpeg-tree is deprecated. Use PKG_CONFIG_PATH instead.''" 
And, therefore, an error occurs when it tries to compile ''libavcodec'': 
"''checking for AVCODEC... no 
configure: error: Could not find libavcodec or libavutil. Use --disable-avcodec to ignore this error.''" 
It would be better to delete that wiki page or update it. 
Thank you anyway for your effort and work. 
A greeting.

'''Add''': 
Missing an important parameter in the config of ffmpeg: --enable-postproc

The name of postproc is different in ffmpeg svn version over the name that looks VLC (¿?): 
''VLC'': 
checking for POSTPROC... yes 
checking libpostproc/postproc.h usability... no 
checking libpostproc/postproc.h presence... no 
checking for libpostproc/postproc.h... no 
checking postproc/postprocess.h usability... no 
checking postproc/postprocess.h presence... no 
checking for postproc/postprocess.h... no 

<s>Solution: 
The real path/name in ffmpeg svn version is libpostproc/postprocess.h. 
The temporal solution is change the name to the file ''postprocess.h'' > ''postproc.h''

These options no longer exist:'' --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --with-ffmpeg-faac''

For some reason I do not understand, VLC does not recognize x264 as compiled... 
Solution: 
This solves both the problem of x264 as of ffmpeg libraries: 
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=extras/ffmpeg/libavcodec:extras/ffmpeg/libavdevice:extras/ffmpeg/libavformat:extras/ffmpeg/libavutil:extras/ffmpeg''/libswscale:extras/ffmpeg/libpostproc:extras/x264:/usr/lib/pkgconfig;./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-snapshot --enable-dbus-control --enable-musicbrainz --enable-shared-libvlc --enable-mozilla --enable-lirc --enable-live555 --with-live555-tree=extras/live --enable-x264 --enable-shout --enable-taglib --enable-v4l --enable-cddax --enable-dvb --enable-vcdx --enable-realrtsp --enable-xvmc --enable-svg --enable-dvdread --enable-dv --enable-theora --enable-faad --enable-twolame --enable-real --enable-flac --enable-tremor --enable-dirac --enable-skins2 --enable-qt4 --enable-aa --enable-caca --enable-esd --enable-portaudio --enable-jack --enable-xosd --enable-galaktos --enable-goom --enable-ggi --disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-mkv --enable-dca --disable-qt --disable-kde --enable-a52 --enable-xvideo --disable-fribidi....''

Obviously, some parameters that I put into this config can (and should) change depending on the needs of each.</s>

Edits: 
There is a bug in the code of VLC that does not link the code of ffmpeg correctly.
