VLC No Skins

[ghostdawg]

I'm using VLC v. 1.1.9 and when I try to change/add a new skin, the Interface, Skln Resource File box will not do anything. When I click Choose, nothing happens.

I see this when I run vlc from the command line:

Code: Select all

vlc
VLC media player 1.1.9 The Luggage (revision exported)
Blocked: call to unsetenv("DBUS_ACTIVATION_ADDRESS")
Blocked: call to unsetenv("DBUS_ACTIVATION_BUS_TYPE")
Blocked: call to setlocale(6, "")
[0x80f22fc] qt4 interface error: Unable to load extensions module


Then vlc gui opens and everything else works fine, I just can't change skins. I have KDE installed but running Openbox the most.

Any ideas on what could be wrong?

Thanks.

I did install svlc and it does work with skins. But it seems a little buggy. First, when it opens from cli, I always see two instances of it in the Tint2 panel instead of one, I'm not sure why is that. The first one reads, 'VLC Media Player' and the second one read, 'VLC (TopWindow)'. If vlc is in the background, clicking either instance will bring it to the foreground.

It show this as its running also:

Code: Select all

$ svlc &
