vlc runtime issues

vlc runtime issues

[Gary Thomas]

Now that I've finally built vlc for my embedded target (i.MX6),
I've run into some issues.

First are missing codecs:
[0xb5c25e78] main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `h264'. VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.
[0xb5c25e78] main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `mp4a'. VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.

Are these something that can be enabled via PACKAGECONFIG?

I'm not sure these are important:
[0xb454e458] lua probe error: Error loading script /usr/lib/vlc/lua/sd/fmc.luac: /usr/lib/vlc/lua/sd/fmc.luac: incompatible precompiled chunk
[0xb454e458] lua probe error: Error loading script /usr/lib/vlc/lua/sd/icecast.luac: /usr/lib/vlc/lua/sd/icecast.luac: incompatible precompiled chunk
[0xb454e458] lua probe error: Error loading script /usr/lib/vlc/lua/sd/jamendo.luac: /usr/lib/vlc/lua/sd/jamendo.luac: incompatible precompiled chunk
[0xb454e458] lua probe error: Error loading script /usr/lib/vlc/lua/sd/metachannels.luac: /usr/lib/vlc/lua/sd/metachannels.luac: incompatible precompiled chunk

These probably happen because of cross compiling from x86_64 -> ARM/Cortex-A9

Any ideas?  I'm mostly keen on getting the codecs I need.  I already
have them working using mplayer, but I'd like vlc as well.

Thanks

You should get them by enabling libva in PACKAGECONFIG

Yes, luac doesn't support cross compilation
The .lua files should be installed rather than the .luac
