[oi-dev] libjpeg-turbo and VLC

Sat Dec 12 01:21:43 UTC 2015

Indeed I didn't have the encumbered repo.
I found about it after posting.

I installed Hipster on refurbished Ultra 20 and I'm pretty amazed of the work you guys have done.
If we have recent :
- navigator
- office suite
- multimedia player

I think we cover nearly 80% of generic desktop computer needs.
I'll try my best to contribute, the very few hours per week I got have been diverted by a SGI Octane lately, I have to focus on tiny things I can achieve.

Best regards
Ben

Hi, 
maybe are you missing the hipster-encumbered repository ? 

http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster-encumbered/en/index.shtml 

Some libs are still missing (like live55) but they are only optional. 

The only showstopper is that VLC uses libjpeg-turbo's jpeg_mem_src so I prepared several libjpeg components to provide IJG's and the Turbo implementations in separate subdirectory. 

If you have the time, you can contribute the missing optional libraries listed here: 

http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Multimedia 

After adding libjpeg-turbo with 6b compliance, VLC 2.2.1 compile out of the box provided that you add some flags: 

CFLAGS=" -DLUA_COMPAT_ALL=1 -DGL_GLEXT_PROTOTYPES -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 " 

The first is to enable backward compatibility mode with Lua 5.1, but I think our 5.2 needs recompile with the backward compatibility flag. 

The second is to address a compilation error. 

The last bits are to make sure that the macros is declared in a consistent way but I am not sure that is the case as some warnings still show up. 

If you have more time than I have, I can push my VLC branch so that you can finish up the component and test with the optional libraries. 

But before we can add VLC to oi-userland/encumbered, I need to push the libjpeg components in any case. 
Best regards

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
