I'm using QtVLC (on a Mac Os 10.8) from Git VLC which is in

VLC/doc/libvlc/QtPlayer

and I compile with Qt. Unfortunately, it immediately throw this error :

[0x101f2bfe0] main libvlc error: No plugins found! Check your VLC installation.

I've tried to export vlc path using this :

export VLC_PLUGIN_PATH=/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/plugins/

and link by copying plugins near my QtVlc App but none of those works...

I don't remember if VLC_PLUGIN_PATH is working, but this is OSX, so your environment variables from .profile are not used for graphical applications. (see Setting environment variables in OS X?)

[EDITED] Now, about the plugins folder: it should be put/linked relatively to the folder that contains your libvlc.dylib. If libvlc.dylib is in somepath/lib/, your plugins are expected to be found in somepath/plugins.

  • To add to this, I'm pretty sure you only put the path up to the plugins folder. For example, if you plugins are in /my_folder/plugins, then set VLC_PLUGIN_PATH to /my_folder/. – bossbarber Jul 07 '15 at 03:07
