media-video/vlc-0.9.8a provides a small GTK+ interface when built with ./configure --enable-pda. I've successfully built vlc with pda flag set, a libpda_plugin.so is created under /usr/lib/vlc/gui/ . VLC runs on my ARMV5te omap850 device although I could not find a way to make vlc load the module. The module is correctly linked against gtk+. Do you have experienced something with this pda flag? -Regards
It seems there is no wrapper for the pda interface, but vlc -I pda appears to work fine here; could you please try this ? Things like https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/1798 show that this gui module isnt really maintained though with trolltech providing embedded qt support I suppose the need for such a module has gone down with the qt4 switch
-I was what I was looking for, thanks. Yes, it works. The interface looks appropriate for embedded devices like my HTC Wizard. screenshot: http://dev.gentoo.org/~miknix/vlc_pda.png We at GPE herd would benefit from this flag since VLC-pda is on the official GPE roadmap. What do you both think? solar and aballier
(In reply to comment #2) > What do you both think? solar and aballier i have nothing against it, so i added the useflag as "pda" (its certainly not a good idea to use it on a desktop, so i dont want it named gtk)
