[vlc-devel] Re: FLV support in videolan client

[Tony Anecito]

Hi Herman,
   
  I am using cygwin for windows so not sure if what I recommend will work for any other environment. Also, I am only working with the java bindings and not sure if I were to package for a .exe if it would work. I only use the dlls for the project (around 221 of the files).
   
  I will send you my configure-vlc.sh which has settings specifically for me at this point. There might be examples on the forum that might be better.
   
  Regards,
  -Tony

  I tried to use my version of VLC to view  a wmv file, but it still fails with the error:

$ vlc ~/Desktop/WindowsMedia.wmv

Can you please tell me how to compile vlc so that it can view wmv file?

Thank you. 

Here is the configuration that I use to compile VLC:

$ ./configure --enable-x11 --enable-xvideo --disable-gtk --enable-sdl --enable-ffmpeg-faac --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --enable-mad --enable-libdvbpsi --enable-a52 --enable-dts --enable-libmpeg2 --enable-dvdnav --enable-faad --enable-vorbis --enable-ogg --enable-theora --enable-faac --enable-mkv --enable-freetype --enable-fribidi --enable-speex --enable-flac  --enable-caca --enable-skins --enable-skins2  --enable-alsa --disable-kde --enable-qt --enable-wxwindows --enable-ncurses --enable-release

  Yes but I was using the java bindings. A friend had an flv file he wanted me to test and it worked fine for me.

  Tony,

Can you please tell me if you are compiling the build yourself? I wonder if I need to do something different during compilation. 

 I am using a flv file from youtube to test.

  I am using the 0.9.0b or dev build and view it just like a normal file. I have had no issues but I used an example from a friend to test.

    Hi, 

How can I use VLC to view flv file? 
I have compiled vlc 0.8.6 on my fedora 5, I get the error when I try to view flv file: 

vlc: pcm_plug.c:384: snd_pcm_plug_change_channels: Assertion `snd_pcm_format_linear(slv->format)' failed. 
Aborted 

I have compiled mplayer1.0Rc1 on the same machine, but I can use it to view the same flv file. 

Can you please tell me how can I use vlc to view flv file? 

Thank you.
