Hi/2.

Are you sure that your vlc is beta 1 ?

Those messages are displayed because VLC cannot find any plugins.

You can use "--plugin-path" option to specify the path of plugins.

But beta 1 does not require this option if VLC package was unzipped in
its directory structure.

Do I need to download the plugins separately?

with the --plugim-path it gets better: the graphic interface shows up,
but the following are still on the tect screen:

Hi/2.

Now I'm sure that you're using 'Technology Preview' not 'Beta'.

You can download beta1 on hobbes.

http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/h-search.php?key=vlc&pushbutton=Search

And those warnings are harmless. Don't worry about it.

Hi/2.

First, are you sure that SNAP was installed correctly ?

Second, are you setting LIBPATHSTRICT=T ? If so, remove it.

It is possible to install and use SDDHELP.SYS by itself (without the
rest of SNAP). You'll also need graphics.bpd from the SNAP installation.

Hmm... is that why the MPlayer plugin has never worked? Surely that can
be fixed.

Indeed! Thanks for the hint, based on previous knowledge from Rich
Walsh's efforts, it was quite simple to fix; only one instance of 'DLL'
has to be changed to 'dll' in snapwrap.dll. Anyone interested can get
my modified version here:

I believe there is some software that checks for SNAP being installed
based on the presence of SDDHELP$ being loaded. Some people discovered
that the Panorama driver was actually a lot faster at some operations if
the SDDHELP$ driver was loaded, so perhaps that is the situation here.
Hopefully that is not the default (bastardized) configuration.

Hi/2.

No. You don't have to have SNAP.

The reason why I asked is that SDDHELP$ is apart of SNAP.

If you use Panorama, I don't understand why SDDHELP$ is referred.

Maybe, Panorama has a dependency on SDDHELP$ ?

And for details, please use the following command.

vlc -vvv --extraintf=logger

You can get vlc-log.txt. Attach it, please.

Hi/2.

I know, SNAP itself doesn't like LIBPATHSTRICT=T.

BTW without LIBPATHSTRICT=T, MPlayer plugin works ?

Sorry, I switched to SNAP, now the error is gone.
But thanks for VLC!!!

No - mine has been processed by lxLite. I'm not sure why KO doesn't do
that prior to distribution - it not only loads faster, it cuts down on
the size of the archive and the files on disk.

That is not correct, see the fix in my other message.

Yes.

snapwrap.dll does not load any dll directly at all. See the sources of
'snapwrap.dll'. SNAP SDK loads it, instead.
SNAP SDK is 'SNAP itself'.

I see what you meant now. It's too bad that IBM never fixed all the
bugs related to LIBPATHSTRICT, but at least there are some easy workarounds.
