videolan player port?
inv...@invalid.invalid
http://www.videolan.org/
It's a pretty good video player with open source code.
Maybe it is not to difficult to port to os/2?

I've looked at it before. Had some problem compiling it due to a pthread
issue, can't remember now what though. Also not sure about our wxwidgets
port, haven't heard from the porters in a while

I was just having a try at getting vlc for windows installed using
ar5os2.exe/Innotek runtime as the win32 system.
Installed fine - and nearly runs.
Of possible interest to you is the error message displayed:
The application has called the non-existing api
USER32.DLL->MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx (loaded by LIBQT4_PLUGIN.DLL)
It seems to suggest that vlc uses the QT4 library - did I not see
something on os2world.com about a QT4 port for OS/2? In fact I have a
build of smplayer (0.6.8 beta1) that uses QT4... from here
http://svn.netlabs.org/qtapps

Yeah, they switched the interface from GTK2 to QT not too long ago.

This would probably be easy to add to Odin by someone who knows what
they're doing. IIRC the Ex suffix means that this version of the api is
multi-user safe or in other words the NT version of
MsgWaitForMultipleObjects so I'd guess a wrapper would take care of it.

Yes the source I have is over a year old and used wxwidgets. Looking at
the current requirements it does use QT (except on Mac where it still
uses GTK).
Have to revisit it as it sounds like the QTv4 port is coming along nicely

Now you have me thinking about "updating" my Odin installation with the
updated Odin bits supplied with the Flash10 Preview - includes a
user32.dll - to see if vlc then works.

Well, if you do get to the stage of needing a tester or several... :-)

The vlc startup now delivers a slightly different message
The application has called the non-existing api
MSVCRT.DLL->localeconv (loaded by LIBVLCCORE.DLL)
I suspect that Odin would need further updating in order to run vlc.

In the InnoTek Runtime for OS/2 there is a MSVCRT.DLL, maybe?

It's been awhile since I've played with Odin but wasn't MSVCRT.DLL one
of the DLL's where you could use the Windows version? It might be worth
trying.

Mr. G
There's probably 4 or 5 dll's that will be missing. And if you get past all
of them, it's my WAG that you will need Active X controls after that.
Peter Brown
I had that thought and tried the dll currently in use in my win2000
installation.
That takes us back to the 1st error message so no joy there.

Just FYI
MSVCRT = Micro$oft Visual C RunTime
