Multimedia :: future of mplayer extensions

Is that from a recent source Curaga? If so please post a link.

I actually don't remember. It might be old information by now. If I find it, I'll post a link.

Hi all:
I'm enjoying my weekend break now. Since I don't have much else to do, I'm trying to compile mplayer/ffmpeg/etc.

What form are you building this in?

Looks like we might have multiple versions going ...

As I said I would do, I'll be likely to post mine as well mainly because I built another uci with a lot of dvd stuff that points at it for libs and binaries.

To point it at another uci I would have to rebuild all of that as well.

The more the merrier is one way of looking at it, though it's not exactly the rationalization that Mikshaw was hoping for ..

(Leaving for work in about 1 hr.)
Just brainstorming:
- Older versions (e.g. 1.0pre8) with static ffmpeg.
- Current stable (1.0rc2) with shared ffmpeg. ffmpeg can be shared by ffmpeg2theora, mplayer, sox, transcode, vlc, xine, etc.
Re which SVN revision of ffmpeg to use: Probably I'll just try out the latest.
- Latest SVN (SVN-rXXXXX) with static ffmpeg.

Re: codecs
Thinking of renaming current codec packs to "codecs.uci".
Also thinking of dropping codec support completely since codecs are hardly ever needed unless you watch RV and WMV movies frequently.
(ffmpeg has a work-in-progress RV40 decoder. WMV decoding is ~adequate and is getting better.)

I'll be away until the next weekend. The "DSL chroot from scratch" guide is ~90% completed. Next weekend, I'll try to finish the guide. If I have time left, I'll try to compile ffmpeg etc.
