SRT support #11

Closed its27 closed 3 years ago

its27 commented 4 years ago

Hi,

I have been testing the latest VLC release on the RPI3 and it works great, the only problem is that it can't open SRT:// URLs while the same version in my desktop PC can.

Are you able to add the SRT plugin?

Many Thanks,

Can you give an example of something that doesn't work? At least in local playback .srt files give subtitles to a similarly named video file.

its27 commented 4 years ago

Sure.

The issue is with the secure reliable transport protocol rather than SRT subtitles, please see the forum link below.

Ta for the links - the issue is that the VLC SRT module relies on an external SRT package that doesn't appear to exist for our version of Debian.

Hey guys,

+1 here for SRT support in this VLC. Performance and latency of SRT on unstable network is really impressive, it would be a great feature to have it supported in this build,

Thanks all for all your hard work, it make the RPI a very powerful media player !

@jc-kynesim I can take a look at adding the package. Would you happen to have a link for it?

The code to support this is already in here. You just need to install libsrt and add —enable-srt when you build. But there are some issues, see #34.
