Linux video player
« on: January 24, 2022, 12:11:50 am »
Spriggsy has a video player that works on Windows (https://qb64forum.alephc.xyz/index.php?topic=4593.0) so naturally I had to have one that works on Linux. Internally this relies on the decoder from VLC, so you must do "sudo apt-get install libvlc-dev" or similar before trying to compile it. Also make sure to extract the files to your QB64 directory otherwise you might get errors about missing files.

Installed the libvlc-dev file. Ran the player. Worked like a charm... Recommend the ability to click anywhere on the "timeline" to move through the video. This would be helpful for navigating through long videos... Sound and video quality is very good. Great effort!!
