vlc cannot find syncplay.lua thought its there and up to date

[abhay-raizada]

i'm on fedora 23
and have a syncplay.lua at /lib/vlc/lua/intf/syncplay.lua
it was already there and i also replaced it with https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Uriziel/syncplay/master/resources/lua/intf/syncplay.lua
but i still get the error: VLC has repored that the syncplay.lua....

Some questions to help us get to the bottom of it...

1. Does putting the file in /usr/local/lib/vlc/lua/intf/ work?
2. Are there any other files in /lib/vlc/lua/intf/?
3. What directory is http.luac or cli.luac or telnet.luac located in? Does putting syncplay.lua in that folder work?
4. What version of VLC and Syncplay are you using?

[Et0h]

Oh, and also try putting it in ~/.local/share/vlc/lua/intf/ and let me know if that works.

Is VLC installed as a single-user or multi-user application?

[abhay-raizada]

so following point 3 i found telnet.luac at /usr/lib64/vlc/lua/intf/ where i pasted syncplay.lua and it works now :) my syncplay version was 1.34-RC2 and vlc version was 2.2.4

Thanks for the update. It looks like https://github.com/Syncplay/syncplay/blob/master/GNUmakefile will need to be updated to work properly on systems where the relevant lib directory is /lib64/

[Et0h]

Not fixed yet, but syncplay.lua is now updated to explain that sometimes you need to use /lib64/ (76d63c9) and the troubleshooting guide has been updated too.

I've commited change to Makefile that should ensure syncplay.lua is always seen by VLC.

I would just like to say that I recently installed syncplay on Ubuntu 20.04 using the snap channel provided and this issue occurred - VLC was installed beforehand, and yet this error was thrown.

[daniel-123]

@JBeckwith: Problem with snap packages seems to be unrelated to the one handled in this issue.

It's now followed in #302 and #301. If you have some insights about what exactly might be going wrong please share your investigation there.

@JBeckwith Can you let us know what version of syncplay and vlc you are using?

[JBeckwith]

I've been using Syncplay version 1.6.4, VLC media player 3.0.9.2.
