[vlc-devel] Help: Regarding H.264 decoding in vlc on linux

[Ragas sag]

 Hi Xperts,


My objective isto play any h.264 video files through vlc on Linux. I
compiled vlc code for linux platform. And when i tried to play
with my compiled code , i am getting
"
[00000224] mp4 demuxer debug: adding track[Id 0x1] video (enable) language
ehs
[00000224] main demuxer debug: using demux2 module "mp4"
[00000224] mp4 demuxer warning: DEMUX_GET_FPS unimplemented !!

"

And when i ran the same using gdb, and did bt ( back trace ) ...the message
are below

Q: Is the decoder not configured / available ?
And i configured vlc with these settings ..

- Ignored:
"
./configure --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --target=i386 ---build=i386-linux

Q: Is there anything i am missing with respect of decoding H.264 support ?

And when i do,
a) ./vlc -l | grep 264

h264 H264 video demuxer
packetizer_h264 H.264 video packetizer
Q: Well it has atleast h.264 decoder / demuxer in. What
about the decoder ?

b) ./vlc -l | decoder

ffmpeg FFmpeg audio/video decoder/encoder
((MS)MPEG4,SVQ1,H263,WMV,WMA)
faad AAC audio decoder (using libfaad2)
dummy Dummy decoder function
cvdsub CVD subtitle decoder
svcdsub Philips OGT (SVCD subtitle) decoder
spudec DVD subtitles decoder
subsdec Text subtitles decoder
dvbsub DVB subtitles decoder
mpeg_audio MPEG audio layer I/II/III decoder
lpcm Linear PCM audio decoder
cinepak Cinepak video decoder
rawvideo Pseudo raw video decoder
araw Raw/Log Audio decoder
adpcm ADPCM audio decoder
fake Fake video decoder
dolby_surround_decoder Simple decoder for Dolby Surround
encoded streams
png PNG video decoder


Q: There is no sign of H.264 decoder. Am i missing something ?

Therefore kindly let me know.. how do i configure vlc for h.264 decoder
settings. Do i have to enable these setting in my ffmpeg too ?
And just guide me on how can i enable / play h.264 video playback support on
linux.

Thank you in advance...


Warm Regards,
Sagar
