Would having gnutls28 in wheezy-backports be something feasible to do?
Does the backports team have concerns regarding this? Maybe anyone has
already started looking into that?

Hello,

I think it should be possible without much effort and will take a
look at it.

cu Andreas
If it's not too much effort as well, what about a 
squeeze-backports-sloppy version of gnutls28 as well?


Thanks,
Edward

Hi, could you install libc6-dbg and try the gdb debug session again? The 
dlopen() looks weird.

Hmm.

OK, we need the stacktrace then. Could you please install the vlc-dbg 
package with debug symbols and get the stacktrace using gdb, like so:


gdb vlc

(gdb) run -vvv -I dummy /path/to/freebox-tv.m3u

Bug#692856: Endless loop at end of file when file is removed during play

2012-11-09 Thread Edward Wang
Turn off repeat/loop mode then. If you ask VLC to loop it will naturally 
try to continuously re-open it because you are repeating the playlist. 
See http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/7048 for a similar case.

I may be confused, but I was under the impression that  X11 Video
Output (XCB) was the default video output. Can you please check what
video output vlc uses when you configure it to Default?

-- regards, Reinhard
VLC uses XVideo Output (XCB) (xcb_xv) as its default video output. The 
problem that you are having with xvideo is because your video drivers 
are buggy and don't support XVideo properly (prime example: VirtualBox 
XVideo and certain other binary blob drivers are buggy).

Request for upload: VLC 2.0.1-4~bpo60+1 new version

2012-05-09 Thread Edward Wang

Hi Debian Multimedia Maintainers Team:

I would be grateful if someone could please sponsor and upload the new 
squeeze-backports version of VLC (that I have ported) to 
backports.debian.org.


The package needs to be backported as the version in unstable would also 
pull in far too many unwanted libraries from unstable, and the package 
in vanilla Squeeze is too old for the average user.


* Package name: vlc
  Version : 2.0.1-4~bpo60+1

The package is currently sitting in the pkg-multimedia/vlc.git Git 
repository, branch squeeze-backports at 
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-multimedia/vlc.git;a=commitdiff;h=39574d02c2aabe84e869d690dc7c4b6eb819dc04.


I would be glad if someone sponsored and uploaded this package for me. 
This will be my first package ported in Debian.


Thanks,
Edward Wang

Hello

2012-04-29 Thread Edward Wang

Hi Debian Multimedia Maintainers Team:

I am Edward Wang from the VLC project, and I would like to join the 
Debian Multimedia Maintainers Team to work on a backport of the latest 
version of VLC to Debian Squeeze. I have already compiled successfully 
both i386 and amd64 versions of VLC 2.0.1 on Debian Squeeze and am 
waiting permission. This is a very popular piece of software and many of 
our users are clamouring for its arrival on Debian Squeeze, one of the 
most popular operating systems on this planet.


I hope you will take VLC into consideration by accepting me into the 
Debian Multimedia Maintainers Team.


Thanks,
Edward Wang
