Video Player based on VLC

LibVLC for OSX:

http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/mac ... 8-0100.zip

mac os 10.4.8's linker doesnt like those libs at all, says they're invalid.

I'll (try) compile the lib. Just got to find the instructions again

Found this:

Please note that the VLCKit Framework does only support Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, in contrast to the ordinary binary which also supports 10.4.

http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/mac ... l/?C=M;O=D

Would be great lexvictory, could use some help here..

tried compiling from source, failed a couple of times, have given up for tonight - may have another look tomorrow

but if it doesn't support it... then i have a problem (because the 10.5 installer doesnt like vmware on this machine)

it's madness, I went thru the first bootstrap and it built about 1000 libs, took about an hour, did not bother to do the rest.
besides PB for OS X only partially supports doubles so it's not going to work unless you work around it.

Hehehe.. i'm doing it now also, i had to patch libtheodora manualy,
and now it's building again .. takes hours

I like to see how far i can get it to work apart from the doubles,
hope Fred will update PB soon to be fully functional also on OSX.

Call it a day, stuck with compiling x264, gives me much troubles.

I found some talk about it on the videolan IRC:

http://dionoea.chewa.net/irc/videolan/% ... -10-25.log

00:34 < Snaggle> I'm trying to build the deps for VLC on OSX. The build fails after creating x264.a with this error: ".depend:1: *** missing separator. Stop." Any suggestions?
00:34 < thresh> Snaggle: hmmm, Intel?
00:34 < Snaggle> this is with the stuff inside extras/contrib
00:34 < thresh> Snaggle: and what VLC version
00:34 < Snaggle> thresh: yes
00:34 < Snaggle> thresh: today's snapshot tarball
00:34 < thresh> of 1.0 or ?
00:35 < thresh> IIRC master contrib build uses binary contrib
00:35 < Snaggle> vlc-1.0.0-git from vlc-snapshot-20081024.tar.bz2
00:36 < thresh> well
00:36 < thresh> what exactly you do in extras/contrib ?
00:37 < Snaggle> as per the wiki, ./bootstrap and then 'make src'...
00:38 < thresh> ah wiki lies
00:38 < thresh> ./bootstrap
00:38 < thresh> then make
00:38 < thresh> but first make clean
00:38 < thresh> were is it written ?
00:38 < thresh> where
00:38 < Snaggle> http://wiki.videolan.org/OSXCompile
00:38 -!- sebr [n=seb@amarok/developer/sebr] has joined #videolan
00:39 < Snaggle> this has been going through most of the deps w/out any problems (ffmpeg needed some tweaking to its patch). x264 is the first one (out of like 50) to fail
00:39 < thresh> well, i built master a week ago, was fine, probably something changed.
00:39 < thresh> (this happens)

Better luck next time

To refresh the window under windows, I tried:

- The callback on the window
- UpdateWindow_

But it is not 100% effective, there is much simpler, just add the following:

SmartWindowRefresh (# WINDOW_PLAYMEDIA, 1)

And the problem is fixed ...

It's perfect now ...

******* see here ******

If OpenWindow(#WINDOW_PLAYMEDIA, 0, 0, 60, 20, "PureBasic VLC", #PB_Window_SystemMenu|#PB_Window_SizeGadget|#PB_Window_MaximizeGadget)

I would say, good work coolman, good 2009 to you too!!

I'm sure Inner will add it to the current beta

Status update: I compiled all needed OSX external libs, but
compiling VLC won't work..

note: I didn't put your procedures etc. in libvlc_windows.pb but in libvlc_pbaddons, as this functionality has nothing to do with libvlc directly, libvlc_pbaddons.pb is just to make life easier using it.

Please undo this, doesn't work on windows. It's needed in
the libvlc_windows.pb.

Code: Select all

I would say, good work coolman, good 2009 to you too!!

I'm sure Inner will add it to the current beta :P

oups, I forgot, good years 2009 has all

I feel like such idiot, i didn't manage to compile VLC on OSX, But
however, i thought when i installed VLC on OSX it just copy'd a single
exe file to my applications folder named VLC.app.

It turns out that it's a package, so you can set importC to the dir:
\Applications\VLC.app\Contents\MacOS\lib\libvlc.dylib.

And the plugins are here:
\Applications\VLC.app\Contents\MacOS\modules\

But i still get a unexpected error when i try to PBVLCLib OSX.
Better luck next time..

just to let everyone know, my server monitor where I do all the work for linux for programming blew up, I hope to replace it by this Thrusday.

Ouch!! Hope you get it up soon again..

I now managed to get LibVLC running using the OpenLibrary()
way on OSX. Not on a PB window yet and not using normal
graphics output. But it's a start ...

LibVLC on OSX running a local Mpeg file:
