Hello Yocto. I am trying to build and run vlc on my fido based environment (genericx86 machine), but so far failing to play most of the multimedia files. I just wonder any of you have similar experience and hopefully has a clue.
vlc player build OK without problem, by just adding vlc by IMAGE_INSTALL_append, vlc recipe version is vlc_2.1.4, and I can launch it from sat desktop, and select files to be played. But, When I tried the following multimedia samples, I cannot play most of them. xxx.mp3 - NG (mega not support) http://www.gomplayer.jp/img/sample/mp4_h264_aac.mp4 - NG (h264 not support) http://www.gomplayer.jp/img/sample/mp4_mpeg4_aac.mp4 - NG (mp4v not support) http://www.gomplayer.jp/img/sample/mpeg2_mpeg2_ac3.mpg - NG (video only, a52 not support) http://www.gomplayer.jp/img/sample/mpeg2_mpeg2_lpcm.mpg - OK (mpg and llcm supported) The error message I get is the following. "No suitable decoder module: VLC does not support the audio or video format "mpga". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this." I googled for this and a few suggestions on various forums are that you may need additional codecs installed. But as I inspect by vlc --list-verbose, and also look into /usr/lib/vlc/plugins folder, I believe modules corresponding to mega, h264, mp4v, a52 are there. (At least, these names are listed in the list and corresponding module files are there.) I have looked into the vlc source, and I think its codec selection mechanism is related to its own var_xxxx variable database, but may need more time to learn (and compare) how it should be working. Well, in case if there is any known information related this, I highly appreciated. I want a media player that I can use for my apps's testing (as a reference).
