Issue No 1: ffmpeg has the encoders stripped - this is very clearly
written out in the thread so far. This is the "blocking" bugs.
Issue No 2: VLC 0.8.6-h1 in Lenny cannot be built versus a non-stripped
ffmpeg version anyway because it uses the old API for swscale and the
ffmpeg shipped with debian uses the new one.
So following the instructions in the bug does not get you anywhere,
because vlc will not load the newly built ffmpeg libs as a plugin.
vlc --list clearly shows that ffmpeg is not being loaded. In fact I am
having some trouble understanding how the hell it was built.
aiva...@magrat:~$ vlc --list | grep ff
VLC media player 0.8.6h Janus
headphone_channel_mixer Headphone virtual spatialization effect
aiff AIFF demuxer
On a system where vlc is compatible and working with ffmpeg it should
show:
aiva...@mare-infinitum:~$ vlc --list | grep ff
VLC media player 0.8.6a Janus
ffmpeg FFmpeg audio/video decoder/encoder
((MS)MPEG4,SVQ1,H263,WMV,WMA)
ffmpeg FFmpeg chroma conversion
ffmpeg FFmpeg audio/video encoder
ffmpeg FFmpeg demuxer
ffmpeg FFmpeg muxer
ffmpeg FFmpeg video filter
ffmpeg FFmpeg crop padd filter
ffmpeg FFmpeg deinterlace video filter
aiff AIFF demuxer
headphone_channel_mixer Headphone virtual spatialization effect
aiva...@mare-infinitum:~$
So frankly, there is something wrotten in the package in the first
place. In fact it should FTBS.
