Description STefan 2006-03-17 15:04:29 UTC

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.

Comment 2 STefan 2006-03-19 03:59:26 UTC

>>>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.
