--- Description --- Created attachment 178413 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=178413&action=edit Patch to add Q_OS_FREEBSD to bypass bad argument passed to vlc A message appears when multimedia/minitube starts: "Phonon's VLC backend failed to start. This usually means a problem with your VLC installation, please report a bug with your distribution." When starting minitube from the terminal the following messages appear in the terminal: "vlc: unknown option or missing mandatory argument `--no-one-instance' Try `vlc --help' for more information. PHONON-VLC [FATAL__] libVLC: could not initialize PHONON-VLC [FATAL__] Phonon::VLC::vlcInit: Failed to initialize VLC" It seems that VLC does not accept the argument '--no-one-instance' in FreeBSD. I patched libvlc.cpp (attached) to add Q_OS_FREEBSD alongside Q_OS_MAC in order to not try to pass the above mentioned argument to VLC. I rebuilt with the patch in "files" and it works well now. --- uname -a FreeBSD x40 10.3-STABLE FreeBSD 10.3-STABLE #1 r305368: Sun Sep 4 09:45:56 EDT 2016 root@x40:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKE i386
