nighlty amd64 build for hardy

[mariuz]

i took the nightly source for videolan and created an amd64 build it into my ppa
so anyone can install an amd64 build on hardy

https://launchpad.net/~mapopa/+archive

all you need to do is to add in /etc/apt/sources.list

Code: Select all

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mapopa/ubuntu hardy main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mapopa/ubuntu hardy main

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-nox mozilla-plugin-vlc vlc-plugin-pulse

[mariuz]

i have updated the build to 12 May nighly version
also i have created an howto build it from repository for amd64

http://mapopa.blogspot.com/2008/05/buil ... 2-may.html

[mariuz]

I have uploaded the version vlc - 0.9.0-git20080726-1ubuntu2 for amd64

Here is the building log https://edge.launchpad.net/~mapopa/+arc ... ild/692673

now i will try to build the one from 14 aug directly from git

and maybe to create an automated script for it

[mariuz]

14 August snapshot is uploaded for hardy and intrepid ibex amd64 and i386

here is how i dit
http://mapopa.blogspot.com/2008/08/buil ... clone.html
i used the debian directory from previous snapshot

[dionoea]

Nightly builds for Ubuntu Intrepid AMD64 (and i386) are now available on http://nightlies.videolan.org .

[mariuz]

VLC version 1.0.0 Goldeneye
Compiled by buildslavealtair.videolan.org
Compiler: gcc version 4.3.1 (Ubuntu 4.3.1-9ubuntu1)
Based upon Git commit [55b5dd333b]

[Trenton_net]

Does anyone happen to have any 32-bit compiles of VLC for Ubuntu? The repository for Ubuntu only has the older 8.6 version.

[dionoea]

We have ubuntu intrepid 32bit nightly builds. Since 0.8.6 is the latest VLC stable release it's perfectly normal that the official ubuntu repos don't package anything newer.

[nullack]

Are these builds also using the SVN of ffmpeg? And other bits of code not in the VLC main trunk?

[dionoea]

I don't know what ffmpeg version those builds use (I'd guess the normal ubuntu ffmpeg library packages ... although we used to ship our own ffmpeg statically linked in VLC but I think that we stoped). And those builds use only what's in the master branch in our Git repository.

[nullack]

Thats problematic. The Ubuntu ffmpeg and lib snapshots are old. Users wont be getting the proper experience with it. Statically linked would be better this is what mplayer does and when I get mplayer compiles I know its linked for an up to date libavcodec and so on.

[dionoea]

Well we try to package VLC exactly as the distro (in debian and hardy nightly build cases it's debian sid) would package it. Debian provides an ffmpeg build from the beginning of February 2008 ... the only issue is that they don't provide encoders for patented codecs. I just checked the Ubuntu Intrepid packages page and they also provide the same version.
We might change that in the future ... can't say when though.

[Robstarusa]

PLEASE PLEASE consider nullacks suggestion.

Ubuntu 8.10 in it's current state is useless as a streaming media server due to the versions of ffmpeg/libavcodec, etc. Even worse is the nightly I tried last night keeps telling me that my "ffmpeg is broken, this is not a vlc problem", when in fact I had JUST compiled my ffmpeg with proper codecs, but vlc did not find them!

I actually downloaded & compiled ffmpeg with the options I wanted & it was _still_ broken.....becuase the libavcodec stuff was not updated. I'm an experienced user but don't really have time to maintain my own custom compiled versions especially when they are as complex as vlc & ffmpeg. Just looking at the ./configure options for ffmpeg are intimidating!

Please offer a statically built vlc with all encoder/decoder functionality included for those of us in the Ubuntu situation.

So on this topic....Can anyone recommend a distro with a new version of ffmpeg that supports most if not all encoders (including mp4v, x264, h263/264, etc) as well as has good v4l2 support, at least kernel 2.6.25, and a 0.9.6 version of vlc or later?

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Rob, just build your VLC.

[Robstarusa]

EDIT: It seem as if this is impossible. I will try shared. I'd prefer static to get rid of dependency issues.

I tried to build this as a static binary but it didn't work:

To get VLC working properly in Ubuntu 8.10 just install the unstripped version of libavcodec. I kept receiving an error stating that the mpeg-2 encoder couldn't be found on my system everytime I tried to transcode a file in VLC 0.9.4. Once I installed the libavcodec-unstripped-51 package everything worked fine.

Ok I am confused. Why is the first thread in the Linux forum about Hardy? While that distro is technically still supported, it is really, really long in the tooth.

Is there something going on with VLC and Ubuntu LTS?
