CyberGarage

VLC : I knew that my DLNA, correctly UPnP/AV, media client patch was included in the recently version, but I had not been compile the source codes myself.

Before my try, a development user of CyberLink, Thus0, tried the compile and sent me the report. According to the report, I checked the step as the following.

$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/clinkcc login 
$ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/clinkcc co -P clinkcc
$ cd clinkcc
$ ./boostrap
$ ./configure --enable-expat
$ make
$ su
$ make install

$ svn co svn://svn.videolan.org/vlc/trunk vlc-trunk 
$ cd vlc-trunk
$ boostrap
$ ./configure --enable-x11 --enable-xvideo --disable-gtk --enable-sdl

To compile VLC with the UPnP option, you have to comiple CyberLink for C++ with the expat option, and configure VLC with the CyberLink option, --enable-cyberlink and --with-cyberlink-tree.

To enable the option, you have to run VLC with the service discovery option as the following.

$./vlc --services-discovery upnp

Using the VLC, I could can see the content lists of DLNA media servers in my home using the playlist panel :-) However I cound not play the MPEG-TS streams X-<

I could play the MPEG-PS and x264 streams with no problem, and I could play MPEG-TS streams normally using the old VLC such as v0.7.4. I created the VLC using latest source codes of VLC and ffmpeg. I will check why I could not play.
