Post subject:	VLC and MythVideo
I've been experimenting with MythVideo, mostly on my OS X frontend. For OS X, mplayer is the video player that works best, except I get crackly audio on everything. In Linux, xine seemed to be the best...except I could not get it to show subtitles (I like indie and foreign films!). So I was stuck, until I tried fooling with VLC. VLC in Linux is the bomb. It shows subtitles, is highly configurable, plays .iso files, DVDs, the works. The best part is that the command line call in MythVideo is as simple as: Code: vlc Installation in KnoppMyth R5A16 was a snap: apt-get install vlc No dependency probs (yay!). Latest downloadable version is 0.8.1. The interface is easily configured on-screen, then it can be put away for good. Much better than xine. yay! For OS X, VLC will work, but it will not come to the foreground when called unless I alt-tab to it. Bummer. I'm working on that, but have only succeeded in making it crash. Volume levels of VLC in OS X are much better than mplayer. Louder, crisper and clearer. If anybody has any ideas or is also fooling with VLC, I'd like to share notes! -Bob K.

Rather, it's interface remains onscreen until closed with the mouse. To fix that, the correct command-line call in MythVideo is: Code: vlc %s vlc:quit -Bob K.

Post subject:	lirc
I agree that vlc sounds better than mplayer. It looks better on my myth box too. Have you gotten it to work with lirc? I've been trying - I added commands according to the vlc docs to my .lircrc file, but no luck. I may have to recompile vlc for lirc support. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.

I'm afraid you're on your own, there. I had a hard time with lirc and don't use it at all anymore. On my Mac, I use the ATI Remote Wonder, and on my KnoppMyth frontend, I use an IR Learning Remote (I taught it the Myth keystroke commands from a wireless keyboard). Good Luck, and post any progress you make, I'm sure it will be of interest (at least it will be to me!). -Bob K.

This is interesting, I was working on both parts of this topic this weekend and have taken one step forward and two steps back. I originally replaced mplayer w/ vlc and was able to bring up the vlc control panel on my mythbox. Next, based on reading a user document for vlc I found that I needed to recompile it with --enable-lirc in order for it to recognize lirc command, i then modified my /home/mythtv/.mythtv/.lircrc file. However now I don't even get vlc when I select Play DVD from the MythTv menu. I get a very brief change in text color and then the menu is active but no DVD. Will have to go back to mplayer settings pretty soon. Can you tell me what your vlc configure options are? If I get it to work I'll then work on the lirc part again...

I probably didn't state that very clearly, When you compiled vlc, what where your compile options? ./configure --enable or --disable etc...

I did not compile/configure when I installed VLC. Just... Code: apt-get install vlc ...and that was that. Sorry, I know that's not very helpful, but KnoppMyth is very forgiving and it is easy to configure and install (prolly because of idiots like me...!) -Bob K.

So, I have to have vlc compiled not apt installed. I should have made that clear. I may be working at cross purposes. I guess I have to decide which I want more...

I did some more searching and tried some additional changes -- still no luck. Here is what I've done: 1. Edited /etc/apt/sources.list and added: Code: tail -4 /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/debian sarge main deb-src http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/debian sarge main Then I did an apt-get update and apt-get install vlc libdvdcss2 and got the following: Code: root@mythtv:/myth# apt-get install vlc libdvdcss2 Reading Package Lists...

I build vlc from sources using the config command defined in the mythstreamtv install docs, maybe a config/compile route may work for you
