Hi folks, is there any reason why the latest vlc ebuild doesn't enabled dmo loader? Compiling vlc >=0.8.4 with: --enable-loader gives vlc the ability to play wmv3 videos, with the default options vlc will only play the sound of the video.
USE="win32codecs" emerge vlc.
>>>USE="win32codecs" emerge vlc. I don't think you know what I'm talking about. VLC will not play wmv3 videos if not compiled with --enable-loder If vlc is compiled without it, then it will only play wmv2 wmv1. win32codecs are of course required to play wmv1, 2 and 3 Next time please get some info before you close a bug entry.
Try to guess what the "$(use_enable win32codecs loader)" line means...
Perhaps *you* should take the time to "get some info" before being an ass to the person who *maintains* the ebuild in question. From the ebuild: $(use_enable win32codecs loader) \ That line adds --enable-loader to the ./configure call if 'win32codecs' is in USE, exactly as was said above.
