VLC: update to 1.1.5

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

VLC 1.1.0 is out so the port should probably be updated to that version.

[nonstop.server@…]

Request to update VLC to the latest version (1.1.1) instead.

Sources of information:

• ​Release information for version 1.1.1
• ​Change log for version 1.1.1

1.1.3 is out.

VLC 1.1.3 diff

These patches make VLC 1.1.3 compile successfully, but it does not work at runtime for neither ${prefix}/bin/vlc nor ${applications_dir}/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC.

[0x10030fce0] main libvlc error: No modules were found, refusing to start. Check that you properly gave a module path with --plugin-path.

Running with -vvv reveals more information. Apparently it is looking for ${prefix}/plugins instead of ${prefix}/lib/vlc/plugins.

The problem seems to be that the variable psz_vlcpath initialized in system_Init() in /src/misc/darwin_specific.c is set to the wrong value. Also the symlink /Applications/MacPorts/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/plugins seems to be wrong.

1.1.4.1 is out, is a security fix, and is apparently the first version of 1.1.x to work on PowerPC.

HI, I've been trying to patch the 1.0.6 with the current patches but I receive an error. I have copied all files except for the Portfile.diff into the files folder and run

patch -p0 < /<path>/Portfile.diff
sudo port -D . install
...

Am I doing right? thank for helping.

Hi Guys, any news on this one? There's been quite a few OS X specific changes and bugfixes since 1.0.6 e.g new CoreText based text renderer and various interface fixes not to mention the cross-platform codec fixes (matroska, webm, h264).
