Hi folks,

I know what causes this. Hicham: try installing the vlc package and see if it fixes the issue. Unfortunately the vlc window doesn't integrate in without the entire package being installed.

[Hicham HAOUARI (funnylife-ma)]

Thanks Bilal, installing the vlc package makes it run as expected.

But isn't there some way to embed the vlc window without having the vlc package installed ?

Firstly, thanks Bilal, the VLC engine used to fail if VLC was not installed. Obviously something's changed in a more recent release of VLC.

Hi Hicham, sorry, I have spoken to upstream about this issue a while ago and they tell me that under linux you need to install VLC for it to work properly. I have no control over this. I guess that it's possible to create a "bug" for this but I would guess that someone has already and there is some technical reason why it can't be done.
