Indeed, I confess that I have stopped building vlc-git after this road block and also removed my online guide...

I am compiling the latest vlc-git under Ubuntu Xenial Xerus and I now see the following error which stops vlc running, although compilation process completes. The complete error reads: andrew@athens:~$ cvlc --version VLC media player 3.0.0-git Vetinari (revision d820359) [0000000001cd11a8] core libv...

Thanks Rémi for pointing me in the right direction. For the moment I have added the extra links manually to libavutil.pc and this allows for a successful compile of the latest git. I will dig a little deeper into FFmpeg itself for the root cause of the problem...

So I have read up on the FFmpeg build from contrib and modified my build options for FFmpeg. The whole build is based on this guide, which will explain some of the variables used: http://www.andrews-corner.org/linux/ubuntu/vlc.html And the whole FFmpeg section is now: sudo apt-get -y install libmp3l...

Thanks for looking at this issue Rémi. I have tried a few different versions of FFmpeg, different ./configure options etc with no success. It is odd as I have been successfully compiling the development version of vlc under Ubuntu for many years with no great issue. Anyway I shall persevere, curious...

I have been unable to compile vlc git against FFmpeg 3.1.3 with the following error message: CCLD libmad_plugin.la CCLD libugly_resampler_plugin.la CCLD libspeex_resampler_plugin.la /home/andrew/vlc_build/vlcdeps/usr/lib/libavutil.a(hwcontext_vaapi.o): In function `vaapi_device_free': /home/andrew/v...

The compiler:

I have been unable to compile vlc-git (Nov 09 2015) under Linux with the following error: CXX demux/dash/mpd/libadaptative_plugin_la-DASHSegment.lo In file included from ../include/vlc_common.h:902:0, from ./demux/adaptative/../adaptative/playlist/Url.hpp:29, from ./demux/adaptative/../adaptative/pl...

Have you managed to manipulate the crf setting from the vlc commandline? If so could you give a sample commandline?

This is something I have consistently failed to do...

You are in the wrong forums I suspect, but I believe you are after gpac or l-smash:

Thank you Rafaël, the issue is resolved with the latest updates .

I am compiling the latest git vlc with x265 0.8-527d03c56d68 and the following breaks compilation: CC codec/libx265_plugin_la-x265.lo codec/x265.c: In function ‘Open’: codec/x265.c:169:10: error: ‘x265_param’ has no member named ‘frameRate’ param->frameRate = p_enc->fmt_in.video.i_frame_rate / ^ mak...

Thanks you Rémi for looking at this. I went with a newer version of FFmpeg and now all is well.

I have an error when compiling vlc from git, using FFmpeg 2.1.3: make[5]: Entering directory `/home/andrew/vlc_build/vlc/modules/hw/vdpau' CC libvlc_vdpau_la-vlc_vdpau.lo CC libvlc_vdpau_la-instance.lo CC libvdpau_avcodec_plugin_la-avcodec.lo CC libvdpau_avcodec_plugin_la-picture.lo avcodec.c: In fu...

Thanks for confirming this.

I suspect that I can answer my own question: not all encoders and certainly not all options are available through the gui and Opus encoding is one of these. I put the following commandline together: cvlc -vvv --sout \ "#transcode{acodec=opus,ab=96,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:\ std{access=file,...

I will amend that guide to make it a little clearer that x265 is required for encoding not decoding

Thanks Rémi for looking at this. I removed the FFmpeg 2.1.3 source completely and reconfigured + reinstalled using --enable-pic and unfortunately under 64bit linux still received the same error: CXXLD libstream_out_chromaprint_plugin.la /usr/bin/ld: /home/andrew/vlc_build/vlcdeps/usr/lib/libavcodec....

Same error here with current vlc-git on a 64bit system: /usr/bin/ld: /home/andrew/vlc_build/vlcdeps/usr/lib/libavcodec.a(fft.o): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `ff_cos_32' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value and the FFm...

Thank you, I shall have another look at this!

I have compiled the latest git vlc as well as libopus 1.1 and I have been looking for the opus encoder in the gui. It is listed there from the commandline: andrew@corinth:~$ cvlc --list | grep opus VLC media player 2.2.0-git Weatherwax (revision 806a5a5) opus Opus audio decoder opus Opus audio encod...

Thanks for your reply, I shall wait both eagerly and patiently

Thanks for looking at this issue! When I look at the Media Information box I simply get the usual 4 tabs: General, Metadata, Codec & Statistics. I coulod see no option within those tabbed windows for the fingerprinter. My apologies if I am missing something basic.

I have successfully compiled the git version of vlc against chromaprint: andrew@corinth:~$ vlc -l | grep finger VLC media player 2.1.0-pre1 Rincewind (revision ef2377a) fingerprinter Track fingerprinter (based on Acoustid) but I cannot see in the vlc preferences or standard menus where I can activat...

Thanks for the fix Rafaël
