#45961: VLC build seems to be missing things, particularly some subtitle support ----------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: celtic.minstrel.ca@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.2 Keywords: subtitles | Port: vlc ----------------------------------+-------------------------------- I installed VLC from MacPorts because I noticed that it has the MIDI support included (which the official version from the VLC website omits), but I discovered that the MacPorts version (using +huge variant) doesn't seem to support the ASS/SSA subtitle formats. Videos that correctly show subtitles in the official VLC version from their website do not show subtitles in the MacPorts build, giving the following error: {{{ No suitable decoder module VLC does not support the audio or video format "ssa ". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this. }}} Because I thought it was odd that it'd omit things that the official version includes, I took a look in the plugins folder in the application package of both versions. The following plugins are present in the official version but missing in the MacPorts version: {{{ libaccess_realrtsp_plugin.dylib libgme_plugin.dylib libgoom_plugin.dylib libgrowl_plugin.dylib libkate_plugin.dylib liblibass_plugin.dylib <---- I'm guessing this is the one causing the missing subtitles? liblive555_plugin.dylib libsid_plugin.dylib libzvbi_plugin.dylib }}} (The MacPorts version also has quite a few (20) plugins that the official version omits, but I won't list them all since extra features are not a defect.) For the record: I thought I might be able to get both subtitles and MIDI to work in one version by copying the relevant plugin from one version to the other, but even with the plugin cache disabled this seems to have no effect. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45961> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
