The file /opt/GmoteServerLinux2.0.0/hs_err_pid26745.log has been attached.

The gmote server I'm running is the 2.0.0 on Ubuntu linux maverick meerkat 
10.10.

A difference between the vlc 1.0.x installed on the previous Ubuntu release 
(10.04 lucid lynx) and the one I have (vlc 1.1.5) is the handler 
libvlc_media_new_location() instead of the libvlc_media_new() that the old one 
has.

This happens to me also on Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit, whenever I try to open any 
media file (music or video).

I also attach my log file.

The problem can be solved by downloading the VLC 1.0.6 source code 
(http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/1.0.6/vlc-1.0.6.tar.bz2), 
extracting it (tar -xjf vlc-1.0.6.tar.bz2 && cd vlc-1.0.6) configuring it 
(./configure --prefix=/usr), compiling it (make) and installing it (sudo make 
install). Of course the build-essentials package must be installed and a LOT of 
other development packages, but afterwards it works like a dream (the only 
drawback being the 1.0.x series vlc, instead of 1,1.x; minor)

Of course this is until the guys that develop gmote construct a version that 
uses the correct calls :) (i.e. libvlc_media_new_location() instead of 
libvlc_media_new())

Well, just for fun, I tried to update code for vlc 1.1.5 (fc14.x86_64)

Changes/hacks aren't trivial, had to reimplement Playlist class with own code, 
as old vlc api for playlist has gone and MediaListPlayer api doesn't fit needs.

One can try my archives from 
https://github.com/meadow/gmoteserver-hacks/archives/master

Still, I have sometimes crashes with tray context menu, but, i believe, these 
are java.awt/x64 bugs

I have the same issue! Does anybody know of any plans for new Linux Gmote 
server or we should be looking for some hacks/patches.

I have the same issue. If the problem is with the newer versions of VLC, can we 
change the default player? According to this:
http://www.gmote.org/faq#Can_I_use_a_media_player_other
it seems like that Windows media player can be use as a default player in a 
windows environment. Do you know how to use totem instead of vlc in Linux?

Same problem here. the development for this software has been stopped for over 
2 years. not really hopeful to see it working anymore
