audio filter problem

[yfwong]

I am trying to save an mp3 audio stream to a file. The module libfixed32tos16_plugin.so is present at the plugin path, but vlc cannot find a suitable audio filter for fi32->s16l. Is it a bug in that module?

This is the option I used:
:sout=#transcode{acodec=mpga,ab=128,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=raw,dst="/tmp/out.mpga"}}

Thanks.

Hey yfwong, hey guys ...

I got the same error when I was trying to stream a .avi file (xvid 1.03 / mp3 44100Hz 116kbit/s VBR):

Code: Select all

status change: ( audio volume: 256 ) status change: ( play state: 1 ) [00000281] stream_out_transcode private error: no audio filter found (fi32->s16l) [00000281] stream_out_transcode private error: cannot create audio chain [00000323] main packetizer error: cannot create packetizer output (mpga)

Do I (resp. yfwong and I) need a libfixed32tos16l_plugin.so or what is the reason for that damn (sry) problem?

Somebody out there who can help me (us ) ??
Thx a lot guys ...

.

Hi, I think I have the same issue on debian armel , should this libfixed32tos16l_plugin.so be built too ?

Hi, I encountered similar problem and solved it.

First, module capability"audio filter" and "audio filter2" is different. If you use command "vlc --list" to list all the modules, even if you find modue "fi32->s16l" is there, it is "audio filter", that is used by audio output (playing the audio to sound card). When you encode/transcode, vlc will look for fi32->s16l from "audio filter2" candidates. fi32->s16l does not surport audio filter2 capability.

Second, I think this problem only happens at ARM cpu (or others), like my situation. A Intel PC will NOT have this problem. Why? Because Intel PC has FPU while ARM does not. PC uses fl32->s16l. vlc encoder will look at module " audio_format" for fl32->s16l and it is there. However, "audio_format" does not support fi32->s16l and this is why we have the problem.

I fixed the problem by modify vlc in audio_format module, that is file modules/audio_filter/format.c, to add fi32->s16 support. I guess the reason why vlc team does not discover or fix this problem is because only a CPU without FPU (floating point unit) has this problem. Another way to fix the problem is to let VLC fake to know that there is a FPU. CPU like ARM does have FPU emulation, so the change is that when vlc runs bootstrap, force it to think the CPU capability has FPU.
