I came along your posts in http://ntp1.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&order=ASC&topic_id=30776&forum=38&move=prev&topic_time=1301857472

I have some questions regarding this, please get back to me at eliteenergizer@hotmail.com

As well your contact us page seems broken, the recaptcha shows but the image verification doesn't. I'm using Firefox 9.0.1


Loving the beats by the way

That was me that posted that.

What do you want to know? I ended up just recompiling everything to make things work for our site.

As for contact us page, we had a botnet attack us a few weeks ago and we made changes to our verification system which might not have carried over to the contact us page.

JC, can you fix that?

I'm just wondering if you got a package or RPM that I can download? I'm making a private streaming server that streams some TV shows but like you had the same problem, I can't use the x264 encoder in VLC. I'm having some problems for compiling VLC.

I have beef with centos vlc 0.9.9 in the sense that something as simple as logging to a file is completely broken, and there is a major memory leak using mosaic so it'll randomly crash every 2 or 3 days. I'm not sure where its at for centos 6.0, but I wasn't planning to wait.. So I figured out how to compile VLC 1.2.2 on centos 5.7.

I don't have RPMs.. But I do have a crappy how-to compile vlc 1.1.2 on centos 5.7... If you want I can post it.

Its a a very much, use at your own risk, type thing

If it works.. awesome.. if it doesn't you are on your own.. I don't support you on this. You train wreck your box, thats up to you to fix. It works fine for me. Do you want the details?

i dont feel well so i'm going to bed.. but i'll just post my how-to anyway so you can check it out and hack on it all night if you want.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK... This does work perfectly fine for me.

Make sure you have Yum setup to point to Dags repositorys before starting.

install the following via yum
x11
libshout
lame
zlibs
libgcrypt
libdvbpsi
gcc
g++
libtool

There might be some I missed.. When you run your make on each package list below.. it it errors out, it'll tell you which package you'll need to install via Yum.

Get the: x264-snapshot-20100710-2245 snapshot of X264
X264

./configure --enable-shared --prefix=/usr/local/customvlc/x264 --enable-gprof
make
make test
make install

Set these environemental variables.
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/customvlc/libshout/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/customvlc/ffmpeg/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/:/usr/local/customvlc/x264/lib/pkgconfig
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/customvlc/x264/bin:/usr/local/customvlc/ffmpeg/bin
export PATH

Get the 8.6 Version of FFMPEG

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/customvlc/ffmpeg --enable-avfilter --enable-libdirac --enable-libfaac --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-amrwb --enable-libx264 --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --enable-postproc --enable-pthreads --enable-shared --enable-swscale --enable-vdpau --enable-version3 --enable-x11grab --enable-swscale --extra-ldflags=-L/usr/local/customvlc/x264/lib --extra-cflags=-I/usr/local/customvlc/x264/include

make
make install


Get the source of VLC 1.1.2
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/customvlc/vlc.1.1.2 --enable-shout --enable-x264 --disable-nls --disable-mozilla --disable-a52 --disable-xcb --disable-qt4 --disable-skins2 --disable-v4l2
make
make install

that should do it for you.

Hope that helps. Best of luck.

Sure

banging your head on the desk should be at a minium based on my above how to.. took me 10 hours to finalize the above configure commands.

glad you like the tunes in our video feed.

There's no 8.6 version of FFMPEG for Centos.

I seem to be getting
ERROR: libx264 version must be >= 0.115.

I got it working by using the yum install vlc and then compiling VLC 1.1.2 and replacing the vlc files in /usr/bin/ with the compiled ones.

Just be forwarned that will break how yum might work in the future.

you'll need to download the source from ffmpeg.
