Re: VLC Player Officially coming
Same as before http://www.remlab.net/files/vlc/fremantle/
But you get to choose between slow VLC:
# qvlc
or the fast UI-less VLC:
# rvlc

Re: VLC Player Officially coming
Which version? The git3xxx stuff does not have a graphical UI, so you need to start it from CLI anyway.
The git4xxx stuff does have a Qt4 UI, but it is so slow that you probably want to use the...

Re: VLC Player Officially coming
I updated it. Now the Qt4 UI sort of works, but it is not friendly (then again, until Qt4.6 is out, I guess it won't improve much).
Unfortunately though, Qt seems to do something odd with the...

Re: VLC Player Officially coming
As I said, quite a lot of ARMv7 and/or Maemo5 improvements were or are being done in the development branch:

You can build VLC 1.0 for Maemo 5, but...

Re: VLC Player Officially coming
My educated guess for the VLC 1.1.0 stable release would be March or April. There should better planning visibility after the '09 developer meeting this week-end.
Until then you're going to have...

Re: VLC Player Officially coming
I vaguely recall some rumors that this would rather cause a device reboot than a mere failure of GStreamer, although I never checked (I wouldn't even know how to do that quickly):confused:. But even...

Re: VLC Player Officially coming
That was not my point. Yes, the code is open-source, and nothing prevents mplayer, VLC or whoever else from re-implementing it (except time constraints).
But that does not prove that access...

Re: VLC Player Officially coming
There is actual a reason why you should not be able to copy a video and play it.
If you're using a non-DSP-accelerated codec, beyond a certain resolution, you'll just run out of CPU. From my...

Re: VLC Player Officially coming
We have the WIndows/Linux PC UI somewhat working now using Qt4.5. You can get it from the "fremantle" branch at http://git.remlab.net/git/vlc.git/
Better than CLI, but still far from satisfactory....

Re: Running linux apps on the n900
Except for a few (mostly x86, few PPC) architecture-specific packages, most of Debian is available for ARM. But that does not mean it will work. Maemo and Debian use the same packaging system, but...

Re: VLC Player Officially coming
This has nothing to do with following standards. It has everything to do with looking for the nearest key frame.
It's open-source, you can check it out yourself and compile. Besides, VLC has...

Re: VLC Player Officially coming
I have no accurate statistics, but I believe mplayer to be the most popular media player on Linux. OTOH, gstreamer would most probably claim to be "the common way" for being endorsed by FreeDesktop...

Re: VLC for Fremantle?
I got the Qt4 UI to work now. But the usability is bad and it makes VLC slow :( I will see what I can do. But generally, until one of the VLC Qt UI developer gets his hands off an N900, I think this...

Re: VLC Player Officially coming
This, and the rest of your long argumentation is based on the wrong assumption that VLC is a stand-alone media player.
VLC is a media playback and streaming library and a set of user interfaces...

Re: Brainstorm: MMS Support
Kernel 2.6.28 already has network namespaces indeed, however they do not support sysfs. Thus, it is not usable as is in Fremantle. In theory, you could back-port sysfs namespaces patches from 2.6.29....

Re: VLC for Fremantle?
I doubt that the whole thing would build from within the official Maemo infrastructure. The VLC build system requires network access to fetch external sources. This is fixable, but it needs tedious...
