[oi-dev] libjpeg-turbo and VLC

Hi Aurélien,

This is great news.
I tried myself and my results are way less optimistic than yours.
How did you compiled the libraries necessary for VLC ?
After installing all I could from repo, I'm still left to compile the following :
a52 bluray caca chromaprint dca dvbpsi dvdcss dvdnav dvdread faad2 \
ffmpeg fluid gme goom gsm jpeg kate \
lame libmpeg2 live555 mad matroska modplug mpcdec nettle \
postproc shout sidplay2 taglib twolame upnp vncserver vpx x264 x265 zvbi

I know I can live without the blueray support even if it would be nice to have but DVD/x264 seem to me quite important.

Did you compile those ? Did you got them from SFE ?

Best regards.
Ben

Hello, 
this afternoon I compiled VLC 2.2.1 quick and dirty (no patching involved \o/) for use on my (work-)workstation. This was made easier thanks to: 

- update of gnu-gettext 0.19.6 by Alexander [1] 
- support of strerror_l to illumos [2] 

The only issue was that our libjpeg6b is quite old and not compatible with VLC, installing libjpeg-turbo (which is libjpeg8 compliant) solved the problem. 

Is it realistic to consider modifiying the libjpeg component and use libjpeg-turbo with v8 compatility as drop-in replacement ? The performance difference is quite impressive. 

VLC 2.2.1 just works fine, the only issue related to loading the Lua plugin is not OI specific and to be fixed upstream. 
Best regards 

Aurelien
