I used VLC on 2.1rc2 x64. But with release of 2.1 I am trying to switch to x32 arch.
VLC 2.x-i486 in needs 100+ MB dependencies and still not able to resolve some of those. What shall a porteus newb do?
UPDATE:
If installed Qt from PPM. If I install VLC from PPM without dependency resolution, vlc is able to start but cannot play videos, says "codecs are missing"

Re: VLC 2.x for Porteus 2.1
To have a better understanding of package manipulation, maybe you could try to work with slackyd:
Then:
And download the additional packages.
They will all be in the /var/slackyd/ folder. Then convert them into .xzm packages.
However, looking at it there seems to be a lot of dependencies. You will have to be courageous, just that brokenman, who is Mr PPM looks at this thread.
Or make a demand for a module (you will have to be patient):
http://forum.porteus.org/viewforum.php?f=73
Code: Select all
root@porteus:/mnt/sda5/64bit_v2_XFCE/changes/root/Downloads# slackyd -u
Repository: slackware [ftp.heanet.ie]
`- Downloading FILELIST.TXT [ok]
`- Downloading CHECKSUMS.md5 [ok]
`- Downloading PACKAGES.TXT [ok]
`- Downloading MANIFEST.bz2 [ok]
...
Code: Select all
root@porteus:/mnt/sda5/64bit_v2_XFCE/changes/root/Downloads# slackyd -g vlc

@solnyshock:
With SMPlayer the VLC is now obsolete. SMPlayer is included in Porteus; if it must be VLC, you can use version 1.1.13 that runs ok in Porteus 2.1.

Porteus is proud of the FASTEST KDE ever made.....(take akonadi, nepomuk and soprano out and you will have a decent OS).

"vlc is able to start but cannot play videos, says "codecs are missing""
I am taking a blind shot here as I am a slax remix 9 / slax 7 user rather than Porteus.
I had made slax 7 module for vlc from 2.05 to 2.08 using alienbob txz.
(http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbu ... /pkg/14.0/)
All will run but you will get "missing codec" when trying to play.
You need sdl. For slax 7 ,the missing codec is resolved with sdl. Slax 7 is not Porteus but it is still close enough to Porteus (KDE version).
Give sdl a try.

"Nice to see you drop by jcosh."
I drop by quite often (sometimes to look for modules to pinch) but since I don't really use Porteus beyond testing , I don;t post or log in.
