"...gmote uses libvlc's libvlc_media_new() hook function in order to play a video or whatever, which, in the version of the vlc bundled with the ubuntu (1.1.4), has been changed to libvlc_media_new_location()"
It looks like JVLC (which GMote uses) is dead, and VLCJ is instead the preferred Java binding (see <http://wiki.videolan.org/Java_bindings>). So maybe GMote needs an overhaul? Possible work around: Downgrade VLC to 1.0.6. No significant functionality is lost by doing this. Unfortunately, the downgrade process is not as simple as you might think. Just remove any current installation of VLC, and then re-install using the directions at the following link, post #8. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10022290 This is only a temporary fix of course. Hopefully, someone will figure out a way to make gmote-server work properly with the latest versions of VLC. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK, which is subscribed to openjdk-6 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/692002 Title: gmote server (gmote.org) crashes when Android client tries to play a media file over wireless lan Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Using Gmote server (http://gmote.org) on laptop running Ubuntu 10.10 for controlling VLC media player via a Kendo M7 Android tablet over a wireless network (tablet is running a client that searches for and connects to the Gmote server over port 8889.
