hi there, i have no experience with webvfx_browser, but as it offers a preview for websites rendered with qtwebkit, i guess having a X server is useful for this command.
as for melt/melted i am running melted and webvfx with xvfb. /usr/bin/Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1024x786x24 & you can start melt then with the DISPLAY variable set. DISPLAY=:1.0 melt ....... it seems that the screen resolution in xvfb doesn't make any difference, at least for SDI output. greetings stefan On Tue, Dec 16, 2014 at 11:37 AM, Geoffroy Montel <geoffroy.montel...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello > > More info : If I'm trying to run > > $ webvfx_browser > > webvfx_browser: cannot connect to X server > > > Is webvfx supposed to run on a headless server (Ubuntu Server 14.04) with > melt ? > > All the best > > Geoffroy > > 2014-12-14 11:50 GMT+01:00 Geoffroy Montel <geoffroy.montel...@gmail.com>: >> >> Hello >> >> Thanks for your quick answer ! >> >> I built melt with the bundled script build-melt.sh and I put the following >> lines in build-melt.conf >> INSTALL_DIR="/opt/melt" >> AUTO_APPEND_DATE=0 >> SOURCE_DIR="/opt/melt/src" >> MLT_HEAD=0 >> MLT_REVISION=v0.9.2 >> >> Then, to use melt, I go to /opt/melt folder and >> . source-me >> >> I followed your advice to install melt and webvfx at the same location : >> export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/melt/lib/pkgconfig >> qmake -r PREFIX=/opt/melt >> make >> make install >> >> and libmltwebvfx.so is now in /opt/melt/lib/mlt and libwebvfx.so is now in >> /opt/melt/lib >> >> $ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH >> /opt/melt/lib:/opt/melt/lib/frei0r-1: >> >> >> So it should be fine :-) >> >> Still, when I run melt, I get the dreaded >> [producer_xml] failed to load filter "webvfx" >> >> Thanks again in advance... >> >> Geoffroy >> >> 2014-12-13 19:39 GMT+01:00 Dan Dennedy <d...@dennedy.org>: >>> >>> >>> /opt/webvx/lib/mlt/libmltwebvfx.so (or something like that) needs to be >>> put into your MLT installation's $prefix/lib/mlt folder, and >>> /opt/webvfx/lib/libwebvfx* need to be put into a path known by ld.so >>> (according to /etc/ld.so.conf and LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var) or configure >>> ld.so to know about /opt/webvfx/lib. >>> >>> Or, use the same prefix for both mlt and webvfx builds, and do whatever >>> you do to make melt usable from your custom mlt install.
