I've pushed a work-in-progress feature/vlc-plugins branch [1]. vlc-nox

interest in the package (vlc: 51349 installs vs. vlc-nox: 53687
installs). I've done the following instead:

  - Improved the check if plugins in vlc-nox link against libX11 or
libxcb.
  - Moved the RDP plugin to vlc as it is linked to libX11 via
libfreerdp1.
  - Killed vlc-plugin-pulse and moved the PulseAudio plugins to vlc.
Xfce, KDE and Gnome all pull in libpulse0 anyway, so I think there is
no need for the split.


What about users who don't use PulseAudio and are instead using some 
other audio output?


As for the GUI-pulse dependencies, they might be using something like 
LXDE which doesn't pull in Xfce/KDE/Gnome dependencies.

Hello,

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

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

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

gdb vlc

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.

Bug#672972: Wheezy: VLC player can't play videos

2012-08-04 Thread Edward Wang
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).

Edward Wang

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"?

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
