Download the ZIP file from the VLS Windows download page, unzip-it and run setup.exe .
Many libraries are needed for particular uses
libdvbpsi (always needed)
libdvdcss if you want to be able to access encrypted DVDs ,
libdvdread if you want to be able to stream DVDs ,
libdvb if you want to be able to stream from a DVB card (a satellite card or a digital terrestial TV card) .
Download the libraries from the VLS sources download page .
For each library, uncompress, configure (unless for libdvb which doesn't have a ./configure), compile and install :
% tar xvzf library.tar.gz % cd library % ./configure % make # make install |
Check that the configuration file /etc/ld.so.conf contains the following line :
/usr/local/lib |
If the line is not present, add-it and then run :
# ldconfig |
Download the sources of the latest release : get the file vls-version.tar.gz from the VLS sources download page. Uncompress-it and generate ./configure :
% tar xvzf vls-version.tar.gz % cd vls-version |
To get the list of configuration options, do
% ./configure --help |
Then configure vls :
if you want a basic VLS without DVD support, do :
% ./configure --disable-dvd |
if you want a VLS with DVD support, do :
% ./configure |
if you want a VLS with DVB support, do :
% ./configure --enable-dvb --with-dvb=PATH_TO_DVB_DRIVERS --with-libdvb=PATH_TO_LIBDVB |
Then, compile and install :
% make # make install |
You can also do a make uninstall, make clean or make distclean as needed .
