VLC and XVideo

Hi,

Update: It seems to be fixed again in 0.9.9a-3 (arch64).

Recently my vlc lost its xvideo-output module. I fixed it by changed the pkgbuild in abs like so:

*** /var/abs/extra/vlc/PKGBUILD    2009-05-21 06:05:01.000000000 +0200
--- PKGBUILD    2009-05-21 16:52:31.000000000 +0200
***************
*** 49,54 ****
--- 49,55 ----
                --enable-shout \
                --enable-pvr \
                --enable-release \
+               --enable-xvideo \
                --program-suffix= \
                --with-dv-raw1394=/usr/include/libraw1394 ${EXTRAFEATURES} || return 1
    CFLAGS="-fPIC"

Is there any reason why xvideo is disabled by default?

Peter

Can't answer your question, just wanted to thank you for providing a solution to the same problem I just discovered. Works perfectly now. :-)

Re: VLC and XVideo

Glad I could help.

It seems to be fixed again in 0.9.9a-3 (arch64).

[peterm@peterm-desk ~]$ find /usr/lib/vlc/ -name *xvideo*
/usr/lib/vlc/video_output/libxvideo_plugin.so
