## vlc errors

Thu Jan 17, 2013 7:12 am

and here they are:
[0x59bd00] xcb_xv vout display error: no available XVideo adaptor
for all formats, as far i can tell (no idea about any formats. For me a video is a video, and music is music and text is text)
gnome-mplayer works. the easy solution is to use that instead.
btw: What is the most lightweight video-player out there?

Oh, another question:
I am a bit spare of space, using a 4 Gig SD-card.
Hence i sshfs the Video folder from another PC (that without gui).
Is that "a problem" ?
Like: is it better to got it mounted via USB-Stick?

The reason refracta has gnome-mplayer instead of vlc is because vlc takes up a lot more space. (Maybe not true if you have all the qt stuff installed already.)
My guess on the error messages is that you need to go into Tools, Preferences, Video, and select a different Output. Mine is set to Default. Maybe try OpenGL.
It shouldn't be a problem to play something that's mounted with sshfs, unless you have a very slow network speed.

A, good, i see.
gnome-mplayer is fine for me. Not that keen on fiddling for days for an option for vlc. I will try your proposal, then be done with it. No idea, but to me vlc always sounds like the leet solution. gnome-mplayer, otoh, is easy and does the job.
I thought that sshfs would not be a problem, but i thought i should ask.

A relative gave me a tip there now is a turbo-mode in raspbian (via rasp-config). I think that is overlocking, but i never thought about such things. That helped a lot with overall reaction and video is ok. Not great, but ok (not as good as my 4 Gig Ram PC, but enough for me). ... wait ... is that fire at the end of the room ?
thanks.
