Re: Need help compiling using the --enable-vlc option.

[Stephan van den Akker]

Hi there, Kirk Puppy and Rene,

I'm planning to work on improving the video playback in LO, and I am
interested in your experiences with the vlc option.

Can this be made to work at the same quality level as i.e. the gstreamer plugin?

Are you yourself planning to make code contributions in this area?

Greetings,

% grep -ri experimental *
source/vlc/vlcuno.cxx:// Experimental for now - code is neither elegant nor 
well tested.
source/vlc/vlcuno.cxx:if (!xContext.is() || 
!officecfg::Office::Common::Misc::ExperimentalMode::get(xContext))
source/vlc/vlcuno.cxx:// Experimental for now - code is neither elegant nor 
well tested.
source/vlc/vlcuno.cxx:if (!xContext.is() || 
!officecfg::Office::Common::Misc::ExperimentalMode::get(xContext))

So I guess you want to enable experimental features?

Need help compiling using the --enable-vlc option.

[Kirk Puppy]

Hello all,

I've been trying to compile LibreOfiice-5.2.2.2 and have it use vlc as
the avmedia backend. I compiled and installed vlc-2.2.4 and used the
--enable-vlc option. I also have the both gstreamer-1.0 and gstreamer-0.10
installed for other reasons. Those are just the gstreamer packages with no
gstreamer pluggins.
 So I built with --enable-vlc, but libreoffice still seemed to try and
use gstreamer. When I would try and insert video into Impress I would get a
gstreamer missing pluggins error on the terminal.
 So then I tried compiling with --enable-vlc, --disable-gstreamer-1-0,
and --disable-gstreamer-0-10. Now when I try to insert video into impress,
I don't see any errors about gstreamer. But Impress pops up an error
message "The format of the selected file is not supported".  I tried mp4,
avi, and mkv. All have the same error message. Is there something else I
need for using VLC? Is Gstreamer required?

Thanks,
Kirk
