Hi Folks, I wanted to try out playing DVD's under Potato PPC. So I grabbed a vlc .tgz archive from www.videolan.org. Everything seemed to compile, but on launching vlc, I get a window, the DVD drive spins for a while, but nothing else seems to happen. I let it spin for a while in case it is just really taking its time, but no go.
Do I need a 2.4.* kernel with UDF support to run vlc ? Currently, I am using a custom self-built kernel, compiled from the 2.2.19 sources from kernel.org. I run the 3.3.6 version of XFree from potato 2.2r2 and this is all on a Lombard/400/DVD. Any ideas on why I can't use vlc at all ? Thanks. vinai
