Integrated video interface is broken in Jaunty

Here's a debdiff if required. It seems that libsamplerate0-dev is now required or package FTBFS.

Confirmed bug.

For the umpteenth time, this patch (vlc-0.9.8a/debian/patches/400_enable_embedded_video.diff) is WRONG. I know what I'm talking about for it is I who wrote it.

Rémi, it seems that vlc git has had some activity regarding this issue few days ago. What commits do suggest to cherry-pick to fix this issue properly?

I guess the key is 19f1b2ee4608ff6c6935d0f8c7289bcebb0e7f7e, but that's as far from trivial a backport as could be. At least, *I* do not have time for this.

It seems to have been fixed yesterday or today (depending on which time-frame one is living in) so if somebody can fix this, please do so.

backporting the fix is non-trivial, so we probably need a git snapshot of current HEAD. Upstream advises against the fix we have in Intrepid as it appears to be broken. Could someone in MOTU Media Team take this ?

I doubt HEAD is stable enough to be packaged as of today...

Any news on current HEAD status?

There are some nasty bugs left in the current 1.0 snapshots. I'm having various issues playing DVDs.

Realistically, I doubt it will be "releasable" in time for Ubuntu 9.04.

Attached the debdiff, using patch from http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vlc-embeddedvideo/vlc-embeddedvideo/embeddedvideo.patch

Can someone test this vlc in my PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~medigeek/+archive/ppa
http://ppa.launchpad.net/medigeek/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/v/vlc/

I've tested it locally and it embeds the video in vlc just fine.
The debdiff includes some more fixes:

vlc (0.9.8a-1ubuntu4) jaunty; urgency=low

I've tested the packages and it seems to work just fine.
Thanks.

Please use the link to the vlc packages directly, don't add my PPA (or be careful what you update)!
http://ppa.launchpad.net/medigeek/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/v/vlc/

How is this different from the earlier BUGGY patch?

I fail to see how this fixes the crashes that brought the removal of the integrated video in the first place.

I don't know, it's working at least. The only problem I've found is
that *sometimes* (not always) when you press "stop", it crashes.

Thanks for the patch and PPA link Savvas! Works great.
VLC has been frustrating to use without integrated video.

In other words, it is NOT working...

Is it safe ti use the vlc from the ppa

> In other words, it is NOT working...

You're right. I don't mean to offend anyone, but considering the fact
that vlc (at least by me personally) is used mostly in fullscreen
mode, I like to have the functions of the embedded video, even if it's
buggy. :)

The place for vlc + this patch is right however, in a PPA repository
and not in ubuntu repositories, third-party and unsupported. :)

> Is it safe ti use the vlc from the ppa

As safe as a third-party patch: no guarantees and no support
whatsoever - if you use the package with the patch, you enable the
crashes that come with it.
If you wish to use it, do NOT add the ppa in your repositories!!

Instead, download and install the *.deb package files from this url:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/medigeek/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/v/vlc/

As I see this bug is still not fixed in 0.9.9rc2.

Is there any chance to get embedded video in jaunty?

Afaik the old patch was integrated in Intrepid. The problem is a possible crash but I haven't had any big issues with Intrepid Vlc.
So if I have to choose between possible Vlc crashes or a non integrated video output I would choose the first one. At least if it behaves the same like in Intrepid.

So what is the plan for this problem?

Btw. if this patch was the reason that vlc hangs on exit I can confirm the behavior but I had always run vlc with a && killall -9 vlc afterwards :)

The problem is solved upstream with *extensive* changes in the 1.0 branch, now past first Release Candidate. We (the VideoLAN project) will _not_ backport the fix to the 0.9 series.

How stable is the 1.0 branch? Maybe a beta/rc could be shipped. Wouldn't be the first time for Ubuntu afaik and it is universe anyway.

Please do! I've been using Savvas' 0.9.x series vlc with integrated video.
I compiled the vlc1.0 prerelease, and it fixes the video integration
flawlessly.

Has vlc-1.0 been released, yet?
If so I could provide a package in my PPA.

Ah no, sorry, Rémi mentioned an RC (release candidate?) version in a
comment above. As far as I can see, 0.9.9 is out :)

But vlc 0.9.9 does not solve the problem.

Right, vlc 0.9.9 does not solve the problem.

However I have created packages of 0.9.9 for intrepid and jaunty:
intrepid: https://launchpad.net/~c-korn/+archive/ppa
jaunty: https://launchpad.net/~getdeb.packages/+archive/ppa

Please include a newer version in Jaunty to fix this bug (in updates or backports?)...

I have tried to build VLC 1.0 from sources but even the vlc source dependencies seems to be broken in Jaunty atm.

$ sudo apt-get build-dep vlcReading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Build-dependencies for vlc could not be satisfied.

I am using current Jaunty.

With up-to-date Ubuntu 9.04 "sudo apt-get build-dep vlc" works for me. Do you have all required repositories enabled?

I am using Kubuntu Jaunty Beta with uptodate packages. I have the same bug, bug may be another which I am not sure how related it is. So I am posting here.
The bug is, that apart from having a separated video interface, the video is only displayed for about a second. Then I only here the sound. I can see the video, when I move the windows. So may be this is another bug, related to KWIN, but I am not sure. Thats why I ask here, if some experiences the same on Ubuntu or if this is only Kubuntu-related.

@Mark
Most likely it is a driver bug. Disable desktop effects and check if it works then.
In any case I would report a bug against your graphic driver. You can use "ubuntu-bug xserver-xorg-video-<DRIVERNAME>" to create the report and attach all needed information.

if this ships with embedded playback disabled, the option should be removed from the interface.

@Benjamin Drung
The problem was k/ubuntu-restricted-extras which installs some unstripped libraries. If they are installed you couldn't install vlc build dependencies.

I have reported this issue under Bug #356076.

Btw. there is a ppa with VLC 1.0.0-pre1 for Jaunty. https://launchpad.net/~tim-kornhammar/+archive/ppa
Seems to work fine so far.

I found the "embedded-video" bug on ubuntu jaunty ps3 port also, hope for a fix.

If a fix was released for vlc, will we get an updated version on Jaunty repositories before release?

I have the same problem, upgraded from Intrepid. Any workarounds?

"Btw. there is a ppa with VLC 1.0.0-pre1 for Jaunty. https://launchpad.net/~tim-kornhammar/+archive/ppa
Seems to work fine so far."

This only seems to include a package for Intrepid. I'm crossing my fingers for a fix for this soon for Jaunty - this is a key piece of software for many Ubuntu users, and the on-screen controls really made a difference to perception.

I wrote this:
http://www.de-side.com/blogs/2009/04/16/bug-della-settimana-vlc-non-integra-il-video-nellinterfaccia-bug-314038/

in italian, with the correct PPA for Jaunty

This bug is confirmed and annoying. VLC worked perfectly in Intrepid, but not in Jaunty.

I've been using the nightly build, vlc-snapshot-20090405.tar.bz2 without problems since April 5th on Jaunty.

Grazie, Ciso! Works like a charm.

Now, can we please get this fix into Jaunty?

Thanks Ciso for the PPA, works great here too on released Jaunty.

When can an updated version for Jaunty be expected - if at all? - in the Ubuntu Universe repo?

There us exactly the same matter with VLC 0.9.9a on Ubuntu 9.04.

For people willing to try vlc 1.0 snapshots, here's a ppa: https://launchpad.net/~freshmedia/+archive/ppa/ (same packagers as comment 34).

That sounds good. Any feedback from users that is relevant to consider?

Such as: How stable is it?

Any issues at all?

Just working?

Working for some?

Works fine here, your mileage may vary. :)

Works here after working out dependency errors similar to mp's above. However, the libfaad* stuff that it installed seems to have nuked libfaad.so.0, which broke Avidemux among other things (error == can't find libfaad.so.0). So yes, it works but there seems to be a load of dependency issues with the various librarys and other apps that use them.

> Is this necessary? A good thing to do?
It is necessary because there might be some dependency problems with
meta-packages ("fake packages" that install others) like
ubuntu-restricted-extras.

Once you resolve these, you should be ok. Use aptitude and not
apt-get, it can handle dependencies and provide better solutions. :)

Once you install the new ffmpeg and vlc from the repository, you can
reinstall the other packages, for example:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libfaad.so.2 /usr/lib/libfaad.so.0

It runs, but do try avidemux and let us know if it works properly with
an encoding.

In case your totem doesn't work, make sure you have libavutil-unstripped-49:
sudo aptitude install libavutil-unstripped-49

That's about it. But we're getting kind of off-topic here, so please
forward any problems to the freshmedia team:

please don't give bad advice like this. Rather get the applications
recompiled against new versions of the library to avoid confused users
filing bugs because of misconfigured systems.

Noted, sorry (this is where an "edit comment" would come in handy heh)

I just upgraded to Jaunty from Intrepid and had the problem withe integrated video.

I installed the patched version from http://launchpad.net/~medigeek/+archive/ppa and it works great for me. No crashes yet (after using it for a day). No broken dependencies, at least that I know of and the rest of the players (totem, kaffeine) work fine too.

Thank you very much!

Good to know, thank you for your report :)
Say, did anyone else step onto any crashes while using the package
from my PPA (medigeek)? I think the crashes stopped with 0.9.9
version.

Yesterday I had a crash from the PPA's vlc but no idea why. No problem.

Yesterday I had a crash from the PPA's vlc but no idea why. No problem.

Thanks for trying to help Saavas, but that wasn't the point of my post. I understood that the package was in need of testing, possibly for inclusion as an update or backport to Jaunty. In that light, I was trying to point out that it will possibly/probably break one or more things on somebody's system if they just install the package in say Synaptic.

If that assumption was incorrect and all we want is a PPA we can "hack" to work individually then I apologise for wasting bandwidth.

You're probably right, I hope 1.0 will make it into karmic!

Is the fact that controls don't show in fullscreen mode related to this bug?

yes

No. Controls should not appear in full-screen mode until mouse movement is
executed.

Yeah I believe the separation of controls from the video window, including

As I said, yes. :) The patch fixes this unwanted behaviour but might
introduce crashes.

Eh, I think the fullscreen controls thing is another symptom of the same bug, being that it is fixed by the patch in the PPA listed above.

I have built vlc-1.0.0-rc1 for jaunty in my PPA.

Perhaps this could be backported for jaunty-backports? :)

I think this is more a candidate for the motumedia PPA. any takers?

You can grab the package from my backports PPA [1]. If you want to use vlc, you also need to grab the liboil and schroedinger packages. Reinhard, feel free to copy these packages to motumedia PPA.

This is no ordinary bug. In fact, it shouldn't be commited to VLC. It's exactly the same behavior than the GIMP shows: instead of an integrated windows that groups all three windows as one single Utility window, it brokes the three apart. So far this seems to be a matter of sloppy code from Compiz-fusion that renders out every Image and Video applications all wrong.

One application? Okay, there's a bug. But two already hugely useful and famous as VLC and the GIMP? There must be someone who tell to the Compiz-Fusion development team.

I have updated the description.
szofiel:
- vlc 1.0 works pretty well. Try it out from the repositories.

- You could also try out: apt://smplayer

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from the looks of it, vlc 1.0 might not be updated in jaunty (Ubuntu 9.04) because of its dependencies. It is already in karmic (future 9.10) though. :)

It will probably not make it into jaunty. For everyone who want vlc 1.0 you can grab it from the PPAs.

Can someone set it as "Won't Fix"? :)

Is there any vlc 1.0.0 build for Jaunty PowerPC? Could someone please add it to the PPAs? I've had some trouble to compile it by myself.

Thanks in advance :)

The PPAs do not support PowerPC.

I solved this issue by deleting the files in ./config/vlc
