Short Version: how are multiple versions of VLC stored on a Mac and how specifically are the modules handled.
Free Vlc Player Mac
Long version:I have compiled a module (the vstream module to stream from a tivo from sourceforge http://sourceforge.net/projects/tivo-vlc/) and am trying to test it. I view the package info of the VLC application and navigate to the modules directory and copy my newly compiled dylib into that directory. The module is found and causes VLC to crash when playing tivo streams (No crash when removed again). I am not surprised as it is VLC 0.85 and my source was from SVN about a week ago so I try and test it with a Nightly. I copy the nightly build App of VLC to my desktop, view the contents, and navigate to the modules and copy my dylib into there. - It has no effect.
Then I go back to the v0.85 app and view the package contents and navigate to the modules directory and all the modules have the timestamp of the nightly build!
Is it possible to install 2 versions of VLC on a Mac?
How are the modules handled?
Is there a different forum to post questions on building VLC?
How do you uninstall a version of VLC? (I deleted the nightly but my modules still have the recent date - I haven't yet re-installed 0.85 because the website isn't working properly for my Safari Browser!)
I have searched for information on this but found none. so would appreciate any pointers even if it just 'check out .... site or ... thread'
