Talk:HOWTO VLC

From Gentoo Linux Wiki

Contents 1 Here is a fix to the no GUI issues: 2 X11, run headless and/or framebuffer and you do not need X11?: 3 I see firefox listed as a required package. Is there a way to remove this? 4 Too small fonts 5 Move from wxwindows to QT4

[edit] Here is a fix to the no GUI issues:

first make sure vlc is compiled with +wxwindows USE Flag.

If it doesn't work, do this:

1. echo "x11-libs/wxGTK ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
2. echo "x11-libs/wxGTK unicode" >> /etc/portage/package.use
3. echo "dev-libs/libebml ~x86" >>/etc/portage/package.keywords
4. emerge --newuse wxGTK vlc

This didn't work for me. The wx plugin exists in /usr/lib/vlc/gui, but vlc can't see it. Ireneshusband 06:26, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] X11, run headless and/or framebuffer and you do not need X11?:

make sure your USE flags contains -X and -opengl

[edit] I see firefox listed as a required package. Is there a way to remove this?

nevermind, i found the "nsplugins" use flag

[edit] Too small fonts

Has it happened to anyone that vlc 9.0+ qt interface has too small fonts ? qtconfig does not affect vlc's interface. Anyone knows a fix? I would be glad if you introduced it into the wiki page(or show me pointers to solution so I integrate the solution to wiki) -- hayalci

[edit] Move from wxwindows to QT4

It would seem as though vlc 0.9+ is dropping wxwindows and moving to QT4. A new section should probably be added to the page.
