Check out this! It seem like master of VLC fully supports SMK files!

Wow, that's great! Never thought such an ancient format would be supported upstream :p

I think we might actually consider using https://wiki.videolan.org/LibVLC/ instead.
As far as I understand, it's a lot higher level, and easier to use.
Plus, ffmpeg is an absolute pain to use, with it's two almost-compatible-but-not-quite forks

[konopka90]

I'm not sure but LibVLC can't open SMK videos. Latest VLC can only play sound but no video :(

Can be useful https://github.com/pockethook/player

Hmm, yeah, vlc is just giving me audio too :s
That player crashes for me when I try to open an smk file though :s

ure update

ffmpeg can definitely be made to work anyway, someone did a half baked implementation that got abandoned a while ago (actually, was that you? :p)

yup that was me ;p there was audio and video but without synchronization what is core of the problem. I'll try to debug this player, maybe it will work with some changes.

[wheybags]

It worked fine on an mp4 file btw

Sounds good

[konopka90]

Fail - it is possible to play SMK with small changes but this player doesn't support sound 👎

Nice! Iirc libvlc is much easier to use than ffmpeg too

Tryed yesterday with latest vlc version : 2-2-8, the smk file reads and play with audio and video but there's still a problem with the colors and terminal gets spammed with errors about alpha.

[tilkinsc]

What is the problem with the alpha channel? We can do a patch if we need it. Would be muuuch easier.
