![]() Note that I only built packages for Slackware 14.2 & -current. įor BluRay support, read a previous article for hints about the aacs keys that you’ll need. Rsync access is offered by the mirror server: rsync:///mirrors/people/alien/restricted_slackbuilds/vlc/. (alternative repository containing packages capable of AAC encoding and encrypted DVD playback). If you want to play encrypted DVD’s please install the libdvdccss package separately. (only containing the versions that do not violate US patents).When you want to compile VLC 3 yourself, be sure to install java8 and apache-ant or your build will fail. The ‘qt5’ package built with the SBo script will make VLC crash with a segmentation fault. Un-install that ‘qt5’ package please and install mine. On Slackware 14.2, two more packages are needed which are already incorporated into slackware-current: libinput and libwacom (the latter one only for 64bit).Ī warning to users who built a ‘qt5’ package themselves, using the SlackBuild script at : While Slackware contains a ‘qt4’ package, it does not contain ‘qt5’ and therefore, the vlc-3.0.0 package introduces three new dependencies, all related to the Qt5 GUI: libxkbcommon, qt5 and qt5-webkit. But there are some caveats with the new release: most importantly, its interface has switched from Qt4 to Qt5. This makes for a minimal dependency on external libraries/packages. My Slackware packages for VLC are mostly self-contained with all of the supporting libraries compiled into the package. Removed libraries (no longer used internally): aacenc, daap, faad, faac, vcdimager.Ī note about dependencies for the new package:.New internal libraries: microdns, sdm, srt.Updated internal libraries: libass, libdvdcss, libdvdnav, libdvdread, libbluray, ffmpeg, live555, libssh2, x262, x264.That resulted in several changes to the libraries used by VLC: ![]() When I compile the VLC package I try to follow the VideoLAN guidelines for its supporting libraries, so that the user experience and functionality matches that of the official binaries as closely as possible. The UPnP support which was broken for many years, has been re-written and finally works again, so that you can watch the movies you make available on your LAN using for instance Plex or Universal Media Server. The new release contains working ChromeCast support using a software stack the developers wrote from scratch, where the video’s you cast are transcoded on the fly if necessary. Lots of changes went under the hood and I encourage you to read the release notes. This is also the first version which unifies the releases for all platforms the player can run on. It took the VideoLAN developers several years of development to leave the ageing v2 releases of their VLC player behind and release a shiny new version ‘3’.
