How can I run the VideoPlyer demo in a macbook M1?
Even having VLC installed I get this error:

dlopen(/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/lib/libvlccore.dylib, 0x0009): tried: '/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/lib/libvlccore.dylib' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'arm64', need 'x86_64'))

You’ll probably have to add the library yourself

[spierce7]

You’ll need libvlccore.dylib compiled in a way thats compatible for M1 and you’ll need to swap it in for the one the library is providing. I’d create a bug on the library repo, and post it here so future compose people can find it.

This also seems like something pretty solvable on your own.

Thanks Scott. I'll give it a tryand keep you updated.

The only thing that has worked is to install VLC for intel in the M1. It works, but using Rosseta, of course. I think it is a bug in caprica/vlcj

My final idea, was to run it in a arm64 ubuntu system, but I have just seen that vlcj doe snot support linux yet.

And there is no rosseta in Ubuntu 😄

I’m a bit out of my league now, but that means that libvlccore.dylib is somewhere on your system, somehow globally referenceable

[spierce7]

couldn’t you grab that and ship it with your app?

[miguelsesma]

As far as I understand, having VLC installed is a requirement of caprica/vlcj.

oh - that is very inconvenient.
