 Posted: Sun Feb 26, 2012 5:04 am Post subject: VLC will not play any type of file or stream [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I just tried installing 'vlc' on my main amd64 gentoo box, after many years of using only 'mplayer', hoping to use it as an alternate player some streams mplayer had been choking on. The emerge completed without error, but for after trying a variety of AVI, MP4, MPG, WMV, FLV etc. file that mplayer handles perfectly, I'm unable to get any of them to play. All RTSP and HTTP-served streams appear to fail in the same way, as does even mp3 audio.
VLC version & USE flags:
# emerge -pv vlc

Below is the console output I see on trying to play any AVI file (all of which mplayer handles without complaint). The entire output appears in a split second (no perceptible delay between "file successfully opened" and "EOF reached", and the GUI window shows the filename only briefly before it disappears.
$ file sundown1-5pm-to-5_39.avi
sundown1-5pm-to-5_39.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 480 x 480, ~30 fps, video: FFMpeg MPEG-4
$ vlc sundown1-5pm-to-5_39.avi

The same thing happens with H.264 files, FLV, MP4, DVB or AC3 transport streams, WAV, MP3 audio, Internet streams and everything else I've thrown at it, and the cvlc command-line-only player is unable to play anything either (I tried that after noticing the QT4 "unable to load extensions module" line).
Am I overlooking something obvious? Any help would be appreciated.

This has to be fixed first. Add these to your use flags: flac, id3tag, libnotify, ogg, taglib, twolame, vorbis
These are optional, but nice to have for VLC: kate, libass, libcaca, libtiger, nsplugin, shout, truetype, udev, xosd
Come to think of it, truetype and udev should be in your general use flags anyway.
Post back after recompiling with those use flags and let us know if that doesn't change anything.

Thanks for the reply.
Are any of these really required for basic VLC functionality? I would have thought they'd only matter for specific file types (Ogg Vorbis, FLAC) or features (MP3 tags) to work, and 'libnotify' seems more like a desktop-integration thing. I don't run GNOME, KDE or any other desktop, only a minimalist fluxbox environment with lots of tiled rxvt terminal windows, preferring to work mostly from the command line and turn on only features I need.
It's strange that VLC's giving me so much trouble under Gentoo/AMD64, whereas mplayer's always worked perfectly.
Well, I'll give it a try, anyway... recompiling now:

# emerge -pv vlc

No change, unfortunately. I've tried VLC with at least 20 different video files (AVI, WMV, MOV, MPG, MP4) using a variety of different codecs, but in every case two lines like this appear in the debug output back-to-back, as if it's immediately closing out the file after opening it:
| Code: |
[0x1633c50] main input debug: `file:///local/video/mpg/Retrovision_vol4_s02__seek31m.avi' successfully opened
[0x1633c50] main input debug: EOF reached
|
and all that's displayed is an "empty" player window like this:
http://vt11.net/vlc-emptywindow.png (inline images don't seem to work here?)
Trying the very same files on a Mac OS X binary installation of VLC on my other machine, they all play perfectly. |

Have you run revdep-rebuild recently? Maybe there's some library that got broken and isn't working?

OK, I just did that, and it found one package that needed to be rebuilt (transcode, which had a broken library link to anolder 'ffmpeg' than the one installed), but no trouble with any libraries turned up. Good to catch that transcode breakage, but it didn't help vlc.
This is a relatively new Gentoo system, installed last September and kept mostly up-to-date since then. |

I've try with your minimalist use flag and all is working for me.
Try re-emerge ffmpeg and vlc next |

Thank you!  That did the trick, and VLC's now happily playing anything I throw at it.
I'd already rm -rf'ed ~/.vlc, but hadn't thought to check ~/.config -- the file in there dated back to 2008, when I'd played with some ancient version on a different machine, which my home directory was later moved over from.
I should have at least tried logging in as a different user... that would certainly have turned up this issue a lot sooner.
Anyway, thanks again for the suggestion. |
