"...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 Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-6/+bug/692002/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
