You can start the new VLC Media Player with
./run_vlc.sh. You don't need to remove your installed old VLC. Please copy the 2 libdvdcss libraries from the vlc_addon_dvd folder to the lib folder in the new VLC folder.
Earlier today I did this:
Code: Select all
cp /home/fienix/vlc_addon_dvd/libd* /usr/lib/powerpc-linux-gnu
based on instructions I found in some DVD stuff you were writing last May, but I don't know how to find the new VLC folder. I haven't been able to play VLC:
Code: Select all
fienix@Fienix:~$ ./run_vlc.sh
bash: ./run_vlc.sh: No such file or directory
fienix@Fienix:~$ su -
Password:
root@Fienix:~# ./run_vlc.sh
-bash: ./run_vlc.sh: No such file or directory
Maybe I'm just getting too old to play with computers.
Then I tried something else:
Code: Select all
fienix@Fienix:~$ cd vlc-3*
fienix@Fienix:~/vlc-3.0.12-non-altivec$ ./run_vlc.sh
VLC media player 3.0.12 Vetinari (PowerPC 32-bit Non-AltiVec for X5000) (revision 3.0.12-1-0-gd147bb5e7e)
[107ded30] main libvlc error: stale plugins cache: modified /home/fienix/vlc-3.0.12-non-altivec/lib/vlc/plugins/demux/libreal_plugin.so
After several hundred of those error messages, I got
Code: Select all
[107ded30] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.

and a working version of VLC 3.0.12, but I hope this isn't the way it's supposed to work! Also I thought I got rid of 3.0.4 along the way, but Menu > Sound & Video still has it as its only entry.
