[users] Multimedia updates for RHEL6, RHEL5, RHEL4...

Hi,

As has been discussed here before, I was planning for this for RHEL6. The
fallout of the changes have not been as big as expected, but there are
still some packages that may conflict with the updates.

Please report them here.

In some cases support has been dropped to make compilation possible. One
of the bigger unsupported items is directfb. No packages should depend on
directfb at the moment, with some more effort we could have retained
directfb support, but I don't think it is worth all the troubles.

Also x264 support has been removed from gstreamer-plugins-bad for RHEL5
because it is no longer compatible. It's not impossible to patch it back
in if people want to look at it.

Also, the support that has been dropped is now visible from the
_without_something macros. Anyone with some free time can look what
support is missing from eg. xine-lib or vlc for their distribution and
can investigate what is needed to add it.

Not only some support has been dropped, but new support and new libraries
have been added (notably schroedinger), a newer mplayer is now
available too for RHEL6, RHEL5 and RHEL4.

Known problems:

- vlc on RHEL5 and RHEL4 (being rebuilt right now)
- k3b-extras (need a rebuild against newer ffmpeg)
- ...

Feedback is needed !

Thanks, from an appreciative user, for the update Dag. :-)

I was just going to post and ask about mplayer for RHEL6. Totem fails
to play some of my "test videos" correctly, whereas mplayer has always
been faultless (on RHEL5, obviously)!

I'll be patient.

Hi,

Please report them here.
excellent, thanks for the hard work!

I see one issue with avidemux (2.4.4-2.el5.rf.x86_64), I guess it needs
a rebuild? Currently, upgrading x264 (and/or other updated libs)
requires removing avidemux.


Another small thing is I had hoped that libmatroska and libebml would be
upgraded, as requested last month [*], so in case it slipped your mind
amidst all the updates this is just a reminder ;-)

It will build without x264 only :-/ Unless someone can look into what
changed between the two x264 versions so we know how to patch vlc,
gstreamer-plugins-bad and avidemux.

I note there is no tvtime package available for RHEL6 (32 or 64 bit) yet. Is
this coming?

Also, I'd like to add my huge and heartfelt thanks for all the work you and
the others put in to RPMforge and making RHEL distributions more pleasant
and useful to use.

It failed to build because of a glib 2.10 related problem. With a small
patch it now builds fine. Will be available with the next update. Thanks

Most awesome .... Thanks for all the hard work!!

I was wondering if we could build ZoneMinder with ffmpeg support for mpeg4
IP network cameras, pretty please!!

Known problems:

Hi,
As has been discussed here before, I was planning for this for RHEL6.
The fallout of the changes have not been as big as expected, but there
are still some packages that may conflict with the updates.
Please report them here.
excellent, thanks for the hard work!

I see one issue with avidemux (2.4.4-2.el5.rf.x86_64), I guess it needs
a rebuild? Currently, upgrading x264 (and/or other updated libs)
requires removing avidemux.


Another small thing is I had hoped that libmatroska and libebml would be
upgraded, as requested last month [*], so in case it slipped your mind
amidst all the updates this is just a reminder ;-)

I note there is no tvtime package available for RHEL6 (32 or 64 bit) yet. Is
this coming?

Also, I'd like to add my huge and heartfelt thanks for all the work you and
the others put in to RPMforge and making RHEL distributions more pleasant
and useful to use.

Most awesome .... Thanks for all the hard work!!

I was wondering if we could build ZoneMinder with ffmpeg support for mpeg4
IP network cameras, pretty please!!

Thanks

Hi,

As has been discussed here before, I was planning for this for RHEL6. The
fallout of the changes have not been as big as expected, but there are
still some packages that may conflict with the updates.

Please report them here.

In some cases support has been dropped to make compilation possible. One
of the bigger unsupported items is directfb. No packages should depend on
directfb at the moment, with some more effort we could have retained
directfb support, but I don't think it is worth all the troubles.

Also x264 support has been removed from gstreamer-plugins-bad for RHEL5
because it is no longer compatible. It's not impossible to patch it back
in if people want to look at it.

Also, the support that has been dropped is now visible from the
_without_something macros. Anyone with some free time can look what
support is missing from eg. xine-lib or vlc for their distribution and
can investigate what is needed to add it.

Not only some support has been dropped, but new support and new libraries
have been added (notably schroedinger), a newer mplayer is now
available too for RHEL6, RHEL5 and RHEL4.

Known problems:

- vlc on RHEL5 and RHEL4 (being rebuilt right now)
- k3b-extras (need a rebuild against newer ffmpeg)
- ...

Feedback is needed !

Thanks, from an appreciative user, for the update Dag. :-)

I was just going to post and ask about mplayer for RHEL6. Totem fails
to play some of my "test videos" correctly, whereas mplayer has always
been faultless (on RHEL5, obviously)!

I'll be patient.

Alan.
