VLC UnRAR plugin release 20080921, VLC 0.9.2

Posted by fli in Tech, tags: , ,

It took a bit longer than I expected to prepare these builds, partly because of some obscure bugs that took quite some time to track down. Anyway, here it is a brand new release of the VLC UnRAR plugin that carries several bug fixes and optimizations and adds support for the newly released VLC 0.9.2

VLC 0.9.2 compatible binaries are available for

  • Windows XP 32-bit (does it work with Vista or XP 64-bit?)
  • Mac OS X PPC 10.4 (or higher) *
  • Linux 2.6.x (glibc 2.7)
  • FreeBSD i386 7.0/8.0

Source code is of course also available if anyone is crazy enough to try to compile this :)

* Unfortunally there are no Mac OS X Intel binary available simply because I don’t have any way to build it. My cross-compiling attempts failed in some quite spectacular ways, vmware+mac os x failed becuase my windows box don’t have PAE support. So, If anyone can supply me with a shell on a machine with Mac OS X 10.5 (Intel) and Xcode 2.5 installed I’ll do an Intel build.

    No, at least I haven’t found any. In fact I could not find any usable documentation at all that describes VLC plugin API.
    Your best bet is to look at the source code of existing plugins and try to figure out the API and what data structures they’re expecting.
