| − | ==== How do I compile VLC? ====
| + | [http://www.customsoftwarenow.com custom software development] |
| | + | Software Development, custom software development, offshore software development, outsourcing software development |
| | | | |
| − | * Look at [http://developers.videolan.org/vlc/ how to compile VLC]. There are pre-compiled (binary / executable) versions [http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ here].

| | | | |
| − | ==== Mozilla Firefox Plugin ====
| + | [http://www.ez-agents.com wholesale atv] |
| − | | |
| − | * ''Debian:'' All you need is to download the vlc plugin package - mozilla-plugin-vlc ([http://packages.debian.org/stable/graphics/mozilla-plugin-vlc stable release])
| |
| − | * ''All Linux:'' To make the firefox plugin with the vlc player, you will first need the Firefox Development package (from: [http://packages.ubuntu.com/breezy/devel/firefox-dev ubuntu] ...). Then, when you compile, run ./configure with --enable-mozilla, and if needed with --with-mozilla-sdk-path=''/path_to_firefox_sdk''
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== "Missing header file ffmpeg/avcodec.h" and "Missing header file postproc/postprocess.h" Errors ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | * When you run ./configure, make sure that at least the following flags are set (descriptions of these avaliable from ./configure --help )
| |
| − | ./configure --enable-shared --enable-shared-pp --enable-pp --enable-gpl
| |
| − | * The path of ffmpeg is not set. Check if you can locate the file '''libavcodec.pc''' on your computer, and export PKG_CONFIG_PATH to where you found it before running ./configure. For example
| |
| − | export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/you/ffmpeg/
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== "cc1: error: invalid option `tune=opteron'" Error on 64-bit systems ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | * One user writes: "From what I can see, the -mtune flag is not available for this type of processor in man gcc. I had to change the configure options comment out all the lines where they set mcpu or mtune flags.) I don't know if this is the correct way to proceed but was the only way for me to get results fast."
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11" Error on 64-bit systems ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | * In configure, there is an x_libraries variable there that is set to "/usr/X11R6/lib" (around line 16371). Because it is a 64 bit system, this variable needs to be /usr/X11R6/lib64. After changing that, it should continue compiling.

| − | == Problems Starting VLC ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | === I can't use VLC 0.8 (or later) with Mac OSX 10.1.5 ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | * VLC 0.7.0 is last one which supports OSX 10.1.5. It is a good idea to upgrade to 10.2, as this is much faster than 10.1.5 even on pretty slow Macs.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | == Error Messages ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Error messages can be viewed by selecting Messages from the View menu.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === main private error: no sout mux module matched "ts" ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | * This can be an error if '''libdvbpsi''' was not installed when vlc was compiled. To fix this error, install libdvbpsi; then re-compile vlc. [http://developers.videolan.org/libdvbpsi/ libdvbpsi]
| |
| − | | |
| − | === main dialogs provider error: no dialogs provider module matched "any" ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | * The solution is found in [http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=14733 the forum]
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | == Problems playing types of files ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | === WMV files ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | * The latest versions of WMV video (known as wmv3) are not supported by VLC. This format will be supported when the specs are made public - expected to be within a year. On some Windows systems they can be played now, as VLC will attempt to decode the files using software (namely the dynamic library <tt>wmv9dmod.dll</tt>) included with Windows. If your installation of Windows lacks this file, it is available on the [http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/ MPlayer Codec page] in the Win32 Codecpack <tt>win32codecs-20040703.tar.bz2</tt>. Extract the file <tt>wmv9dmod.dll</tt> (md5: <tt>292beecb089f13b70af8e44e5bfefa5c</tt>) and copy it into the VLC directory.
| |
| − | * Linux (x86) workaround:
| |
| − | *# Find the win32 codecs (win32codecs). Like, [http://www.debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/w/w32codecs/ here]!
| |
| − | *# Extract the files to the /usr/lib/win32 or /usr/local/lib/win32 directories
| |
| − | *# Compile VLC with --enable-dmo --enable-loader
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Real Media files ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Realmedia files (.rm, .rpm, etc) are proprietary (ie, copyrighted) file formats, created by RealNetworks. Because of this, VLC can't support them at present.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === QuickTime Files (.mov) ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Mov file doesn't play, but plays ok in QuickTime
| |
| − | ** open the url in QuickTime player
| |
| − | ** let it decide which datarate is best for your connection
| |
| − | ** let it play for a few seconds, then pause it
| |
| − | ** open the stream info, copy the url
| |
| − | ** open & save that one in VLC
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Flash Video Files (.flv) ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Flash Video support has recently been added (provided through ffmpeg) - to view .flv files you will need version 0.8.4a. Download and install the latest version [http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ here].
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Other Files ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{faqlink|238663}}
| |
| − | * Make sure that VLC supposts that file - look at the [http://www.videolan.org/vlc/features.html list of supposted formats]
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Make sure that the file isn't corrupted
| |
| − | | |
| − | == VLC and Other Programs ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | === AMR ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | * To use [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_Multi-Rate AMR], you'll need to compile vlc and ffmpeg with amr support yourself. This is because the amr license is not compatible with the vlc license.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === ratDVD ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | * VLC does not support [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RatDVD ratDVD]
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Problems Playing DVDs ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Unable to play any DVDs ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{faqlink|239006}}
| |
| − | * ''Linux:'' To play DVDs with VLC in linux, you need to install the libdvdcss package
| |
| − | * Make sure you have access rigths to your DVD player. In linux, you can use chmod to edit access rights to your DVD block device:
| |
| − | ** <nowiki>#</nowiki> chmod 666 /dev/dvd
| |
| − | ** The videolan FAQ seems to suggest you need write access to this device - is this true? If you know, please edit this entry.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Playing DVDs from other Region Codes ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{faqlink|239426}}
| |
| − | * The ability to play DVDs from all regions depends mostly on your DVD drive, and testing it is usually the quickest way to find out if your DVD drive can do it. Most newer DVD drives are RPC2 drives, which don't allow raw access to the drive untill the drive firmware has done a regioncheck. VLC uses libdvdcss and it needs raw access to the DVD drive to crack the encryption key. So with these drives it is impossible to circumvent the region protection. (This goes for all software. You will need to flash your drives firmware, but sometimes there is no alternate firmware available for your drive). On other RPC2 drives that DO allow raw access, it might take VLC a long time to crack the key. So just pop the disc in your drive and try it out, while you get a coffee. RPC1 drives should 'always' work regardless of the regioncode.

| − | == Poor Quality Video and Audio ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | === The video runs but the picture is distorted ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{faqlink|238431}}
| |
| − | * ''Linux:'' There is probably a problem with the output layer. There are several ways of troubleshooting it.
| |
| − | ** First, try with another output plugin, for instance:
| |
| − | **: % vlc -V sdl
| |
| − | **: % vlc -V x11
| |
| − | ** Second, change your screen depth and/or definition. It quite often helps.
| |
| − | ** Lastly, if running Unix, have a look at your XFree86 video driver.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Video is choppy ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{faqlink|238474}}
| |
| − | * Your system may be too slow to decode all pictures. Sometimes, your CPU (computer) really isn't fast enough, but often the situation can be improved by changing your system configuration to be a bit kinder to VLC.
| |
| − | ** Quit other programs running in the background
| |
| − | ** Turn on DMA on your DVD device:
| |
| − | *** ''Linux:''
| |
| − | ***: <nowiki>#</nowiki> hdparm -d1 /dev/dvd
| |
| − | *** ''Windows:'' go to the System section of the control panel, and go to the Hardware manager (it is sometimes in a separate tab, and sometimes, you have to go to the Advanced tab. Then, righ-click on your DVD player, and check the DMA checkbox.
| |
| − | ** Upgrade to the latest driver for your video board.
| |
| − | ** ''Linux:'' you can additionnaly upgrade your drivers to the latest XFree86 version. If supported, check that the xvideo plug-in is effectively used with:
| |
| − | **: % vlc -vvvv
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Audio and video are out of sync ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{faqlink|238571}}
| |
| − | * If you are [[transcoding]] a file, use the [[audio-sync]] option.
| |
| − | * You can manually set the audio offset while playing (so you can put the audio back in sync). The default keys in Windoes are Ctrl+H and Ctrl+J to increase/decreas the delay.
| |
| − | * ''Linux/Unix:'' Try using another audio output plugin and, under Unix, kill esd or artsd if they are running. If the problem is due to the input file, have a look at the "Audio desynchronisation compensation" option.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | == Problems with Streaming ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | === main input error: no suitable access module for `rtsp://...' ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | vlc needs livemedia from '''live555.com''' to read rtsp stream this way.
| |
| − | | |
| − | You can check you have it by :
| |
| − | | |
| − | vlc -l | grep live
| |
| − | | |
| − | It should read
| |
| − | | |
| − | livedotcom live.com (RTSP/RTP/SDP) demuxer
| |
| − | livedotcom RTSP/RTP access and demux
| |
| − | | |
| − | If not, you have to install '''livemedia''' and point your compilation to this lib directory :
| |
| − | | |
| − | ./configure '''--enable-livedotcom --with-livedotcom-tree=/usr/local/lib/live/'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Problems converting between file formats (transcoding) ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Missing Audio and/or Video ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Certain containers (aka muxers) can only hold certain types of video and audio - look at [http://www.videolan.org/streaming/features.html Streaming features]
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | == VLC Crashes ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | === General ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{faqlink|238592}}
| |
| − | * If VLC crashes, the following steps will help determine the cause.
| |
| − | ** Increase the verbosity level (either in the preferences or with a -vvvv command line option) and look at the debug messages (in the terminal or in the Messages window).
| |
| − | * If you are convinced that it is a bug in VLC, have a look at the [http://www.videolan.org/support/bug-reporting.html bug reporting page].
| |
| − | | |
| − | === When using DirectShow (eg Webcam) ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{forum|12394}}
| |
| − | * There was a bug a while back when you tried to stream using a directshow/webcam it would reboot the computer. The fix was to specify the resolution on the command line or in the "Advanced" section when opening the directshow.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | == Other Problems ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | === I only want one VLC player! ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | * To use the same VLC player for all the media files, go to Settings, Preferences
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Licensing, legal issues and logo use ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Information on this is avaliable on the main videolan website, [http://videolan.org videolan.org]. Also read the [http://www.videolan.org/doc/faq/en/index.html#id238663 Legal concerns] section of the [http://www.videolan.org/doc/faq/en/index.html FAQ].
| |
| − | * This is a wiki site: it is editabale by all, so it is best to check to official website.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Fixing Strange Behaviour ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{faqlink|238992}}
| |
| − | * The first thing to do is to reset the VLC preferences in the preferences dialog of the application and restart VLC. If VLC doesn't even start anymore, delete VLC's configuration file ([[#Configuration File|where is it?]]). Then restart VLC. If it does not get any better, read the rest of this page or FAQ page, or ask for help at the [[forum]].
