Yep, got the error message too when attempting to DL. Problem at Sourceforge?

Possible, but I don't think so, since the binaries from http://replayguide.sourceforge.net/vlc/vlc82_alpha1/ download fine.

me too [got error]

In the event that anyone else runs into this same issue, after exchanging a few emails last night with Moyekj, I've been informed that the hosting server apparently likes to occationally cut the downloads short.

File size should be: 10,015KB
MD5: 293046f187fc322cb6806b8dfbcf2795

Initial testing on W2k, sp-4 w/ nVidia GeeForce up the wazoo video appears to be working as expected/desired.

New version is working good for me (CA and alll)! Thanks moyekj for keeping this updated!

Hi,
Trying to get the patch file for compilation (Linux). 404 error.
Another wrong name? Thanks for all the work on this; indispensable.

Until this is fixed, just download the binary (the patch is included in the zip).

What are the chances of getting this patch rolled into the official source tree?

Has anybody compiled a Mac OSX executable version of this?

I'm going to attempt to do so now.

Any luck ndrake? I just got a new MacBook Pro so am in the market for a Universal or Intel version if possible...

Sorry. Forgot all about this. I haven't gotten things working.

vlc-0.8.6 is now available. Hopefully an RTV version will follow shortly (wink wink)

I compiled from source the latest version (0.8.6) on my macbook pro last night. I'd like to attempt to patch the sources with moyekj's changes to make a replaytv version. Moyekj do you have an 0.8.6 patch? Alternatively, do you think the 0.8.5 patch has a chance of working with the 0.8.6 sources? I'll go back to older source if I have to, but I'd rather stick to the latest and greatest.

A quick update: I've patched the current (0.8.6) vlc version with moyekj's changes. The RTV patch does not compile under MacOS, and I'm trying to fix that. Once I have a working mac version, I'm going to release that together with the code patch for 0.8.6.

Moyekj a couple of questions/comments:
a) Are all your code changes marked with "mojekj START/END" comments?
b) I second an earlier comment that the patch should be submitted to the project and made part of the official tree. Moyekj, if you don't mind, I may pursue this but it's better if you do it since you actually understand the code and can answer questions the maintainers may have.

Attached are 2 files:

* rtv-files-for-vlc-0.8.6a.tar.zip is a tarball of all files added or modified to the vlc 0.8.6a distribution to enable RTV CA functionality
* rtvpatch-vlc-0.8.6a.zip is a diff-style patch that can be used with the patch command to , well, patch the standard 0.8.6a source with the above changes - use "patch -p1" to apply it.

The first file is similar to how moyekj distributed the patch for previous releases. The second file is a more standard and easier to apply method of providing patches - use either one.

I've tested the patch on a macos build of vlc and it works fine. They should also build on other platforms. The F9 key can be used to toggle CA, and when you open an RTV file (or stream it from DVA) you get bookmarks for the end of each commercial break.

I can provide a mac binary to anyone that wants it.

If you could oblige with a binary (Universal if possible!) I'd be grateful. I'm a bit lazy and busy or I'd compile it myself, and will get around to it soon if needed for either Intel or PPC if necessary...

Not a problem, I'll try to do it later this morning, I'll start a new thread when I have it up since this one is no longer on topic.

You can download the mac version here. Please let me know if it works ok, and then I'll post a new thread so more people see it. I don't know if it's a universal binary to tell you the truth, I'm an old unix hand but relatively new to the world of mac os X, I just followed the VLC compilation instructions on my (intel) macbook pro and there was no mention of "universal" there. I don't have a PPC mac, so maybe you can try it out on one and let me know?

I just gave it a spin on my MacBook Pro and it works perfectly, all of the RTV enhancements are there, CA works, etc. THANKS!

However since you compiled it on an Intel machine it is an "Intel Only" app and will not run on PPC machines - see the attached "Get Info" picture. For PPC owners we'll either have to compile it on a PPC machine (such as my G5) or figure out how to compile it as Universal on your MBP.

I'd be happy to compile a PPC version, I just need some simple instructions - as I remember I got rather confused when I first set out to compile myself using the instructions on sourceforge, but I only looked at it for 5 seconds before moving. I'll also look around to see if you can compile a Universal given your current setup. I too am an old unix hand and have never compiled a true OSX package application, but have compiled rtvpatch for OSX successfully, e.g.

THanks again!

Cool, glad it works. I've done some searching (google, grep through vlc files) to figure out how to do a universal compile but came up with very little. I know that the VLC 0.8.6a binary distribution is universal, and that it was the first mac release to be such, and it had something to do with moving to xcode for builds. Other than that...

Anyway let me know what you come up with. If I can modify something in my environment to build universal, I'll be glad to do so. If you want to try the PPC build yourself, here are the instructions I followed. Make sure you get the 0.8.6a tarball instead of checkout from subversion, the current code is _much_ different than the release and buggy. Then apply the code patch as I described a few posts ago.
