what can be done:

rebuild ffmpeg with swscaler disabled
patch vlc wih this patch (otherwise build will fail with this version of ffmpeg)
rebuild vlc

et voila (but no swscaler)

for those of us unaccustom to applying these patches and such.. might you be able to offer a "how-to"
that is a little more in depth?

Well, you may have solved your problem in the meantime but anyhow...

0. Make sure you have abs and patch installed

pacman -Sy abs patch

1. sync your abs tree by running abs in terminal as root
2. go to /var/abs/extra/multimedia
3. select and copy the ffmpeg folder to a place where you have rw permissions
4. edit the PKGBUILD inside that ffmpeg folder and change line 37 to be:

      --disable-swscaler \

Your PKGBUILD should look like this:

8. go to /var/abs/extra/multimedia

10. copy/paste this patch to a blank file and name it vlc.patch

11. move this vlc.patch file to your vlc folder
12. edit the PKGBUILD inside that vlc folder and add the following line:

  patch -Np1 -i ../vlc.patch || return 1

Add vlc.patch to your source array in your VLC PKGBUILD:

source=(http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/${pkgver}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.bz2 vlc.patch)

I was too lazy to generate the md5sum so I just removed the md5 line (this is not a good idea).

Re: VLC Problem

You may want to bump the pkgver line higher so that pacman doesn't overwrite your working copy of VLC on subtle changes.

By the way, as I mentioned months ago here, VLC has become hyper-sensitive to little changes in other packages. After rebuilding it for the 20th or so time, I dropped it completely.

Re: VLC Problem

@bangkok_manouel    Thank you so very kindly for your quick and comprehensive response.  I appreciate the effort it took you to type that out and just wanted to let you know i am thrilled not only at a possible solution but at having learned something new.

All the best.. and thanks again.

Re: VLC Problem

Put this in your X config:

Section "Extensions"
        Option "MIT-SHM" "no"
EndSection

Bugfix thanks to lapino (friend of mine).

Re: VLC Problem

I get:

patch: **** Can't open patch file ../vlc.patch : No such file or directory

I checked to make sure I spelled it right and that it was in the right place. What should I do at this point?

BTW, I tried the XConfig fix first, and that didn't do anything.

add vlc.patch to your source array in your VLC PKGBUILD:

source=(http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/${pkgver}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.bz2 vlc.patch)

Thanks for clarifying that. Obviously, I didn't read through the entire code there.

OK, I just copied your whole PKGBUILD this time, and now I get this:

add the first 5 characters to the patch, or just copy and paste this code below into the patch file overwriting whats there. Its a typo

edit: I think, that's the only reason why a patch would fail, its not the command being issued to apply the patch in the package build

Re: VLC Problem

Save this as mux.c in src/modules/codec/ffmpeg. Then U can remove the patch elements from the PKGBUILD and run

makepkg -e

The -e switch stop the tarball from extracting the source again and overwriting your files.

did ffmpeg compile ok with the swscaler disabled? I hope u did ffmpeg package first, I think u have to and have it installed so that vlc can compile against it.

If so, this will fix your problem, did mine.

Put this in your X config:

EndSection

Bugfix thanks to lapino (friend of mine).

This worked when vlc broke after upgrading to xserver 1.4.0.90-4.

Then xserver upgraded to -5 and vlc was ok, didn't need the above addition in xorg.conf but then again ffmpeg and x264 upgraded and vlc broke again. So recompiling ffmpeg and after that vlc made it work again. (until next time!)

I think that's the storyline so far, right?

Re: VLC Problem

... hence I don't give a toss until a new version of VCL fix this. No other program as far as I can see is in any way affected.

Re: VLC Problem

Hi when I write: makepkg -c to vlc folder I get:
