Re: VLC without AltiVec for ubuntu MATE 16.04
I have just the following currently in Videos:
-rw-r--r-- 1 bart bart 92659427 Jul 29 2017 MOV_0195.AVI
-rw-r--r-- 1 bart bart 300423424 Jul 29 2017 MOV_0196.AVI
-rw-r--r-- 1 bart bart 1573484 Jul 29 2017 Sample.mp4
-rw-rw-r-- 1 bart bart 10454044 Dec 17 2017 TextInMotion-Sample-576p.mp4
-rw-rw-r-- 1 bart bart 13988946 Dec 17 2017 TextInMotion-Sample-720p.mp4
VLC opens all five, showing the initial scene. Only one, Sample.mp4, provides motion and sound, although the time marker at the bottom of the screen moves across for the other four.
Applications > Sound and Video contains mpv Media Player. Trying to open that will occasionally bring up an "Ubuntu" informing me that it has unexpectedly closed (without actually opening), but usually nothing happens. The same menu section also has SMPlayer. SMPlayer handles all five videos, although the AVI's play at not much better than half speed.

Re: VLC without AltiVec for ubuntu MATE 16.04
Thanks Christian! The problem was indeed in the input codec. The 'auto' setting seems to choose VPAU which does not work. Selecting VA-API solved the issue.
VLC seems to work very smoothly and can keep sound and video well in sync! Thank you for your efforts .
BTW, can this version of VLC also used with 'Mate Remix', or do you need a customized version for it...?

I haven’t tested it on the MATE PowerPC Remix yet. You can test it if you like. Please try to install the packages with sudo dpkg -i * on the MATE PowerPC Remix.Roland wrote: BTW, can this version of VLC also used with 'Mate Remix', or do you need a customized version for it...?

Hi Kilaueabart,kilaueabart wrote: Sorry for the delay. (The original output is much more colorful, with green and red.)
You're right. There are some problems with the installation of the VLC without AltiVec on the MATE PowerPC Remix. The reason is, that this VLC was created only for ubuntu MATE 16.04. I installed this VLC on the MATE PowerPC Remix today. It starts and I can listen to web radios. Videos don't work with this VLC on the MATE PowerPC Remix.
