Would installing this VLC package solve the Live stream issue...?

How should it be installed? There was not any script included... Just dropping the drawer did not seem to have effect.

Hi Roland,

You can install it with the following command:

Code: Select all

sudo rpm -i vlc-3.0.0-1.fc27.ppc64
I am not sure if it works because the default VLC doesn't work on the X5000 but you can try it if you like. Please note: This package is for Fedora 27. I am not sure if you can install it on Fedora 26.

Thanks,
Christian

My error, there was also a Fedora 26 version of it :-). But rpm found too many missing dependencies... There was also an installation recipe which uses dnf, and it demanded only one extra component which I was able find:

Code: Select all

#> sudo dnf install libavcodec.so.57 ffmpeg-libs-3.3.5-2.fc26.ppc64.rpm
#> dnf install libavcodec.so.57
#> dnf install vlc-3.0.0-1.fc26.ppc64.rpm
#> dnf install vlc
What is actually the difference between these two installation methods?

How could I test whether the VLC works? Should Firefox use it directly or do you need a Plugin? There was at least a diffrence in the behaviour of FireFox when trying to start a Stream, the error message was different... (before installing VLC: 'Browser not supporting Live Streaming', and after that a numerical error code...)

@Christian

Could you please reveal us how did you do the initial installation of Fedora26? Was there needed some changes to the installation disk (.iso) itself, or was it just to set suitable Uboot variables for it? There is already Fedora27 (and beta28) available, and both a Netinstall.iso and complete installation DVD for it...

@Roland
I upgraded my Fedora 25 to Fedora 26 last year.

I installed Fedora 25 via a virtual QEMU PowerPC machine two years ago.
