Video mapping plugin problem with VLC player?

0

I'm trying to use the videomapping plugin in josm, to view and sync a video with a gpx track.

When I try to import the video I get this error message:

"VLC library is not correctly initialized. Please check that VLC 2.0.X is correctly installed on your system. Its architecture (32/64 bits) must also be the same as the JRE that runs JOSM."

I'mworking in Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit, The VLC player installed is 2.0.8 64 bit (from ubuntu software center). JOSM is running on 1.6.0_27. If I do "java -version" I get:

java version "1.6.0_27" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.12.6) (6b27-1.12.6-1ubuntu0.12.04.4) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode)

Any hint?

IMHO the video plugin has never really worked (in particular it has a build in assumption that trackpoints are in fixed 1 second intervalls). If you are not a developer and can fix the issues yourself I don't think it makes sense to spend any time trying to get it running (which is likely not going to be sucessful).
