If media-libs/swfdec is present, /usr/lib/mlt/libmltswfdec.so is created which links to libswfdec-0.8.so.0. If media-libs/swfdec is not present during compilation, such a lib is not created. Attaching patch that fixes it. However it's not the full story, unfortunately. If mlt is compiled without --disable-swfdec and that lib is created and linked to libswfdec-0.8.so.0: + if swfdec is installed on system, /usr/bin/melt (command line player etc. that comes with mlt) is NOT able to play .swf files (!); the error is: - cut - SWFDEC: ERROR: swfdec_resource.c(244): swfdec_resource_stream_target_parse: no decoder found for format SWFDEC: ERROR: swfdec_as_context.c(168): swfdec_as_context_abort: abort: This is not a Flash file - cut - and Openshot 1.3.1 (not in Portage…) is unable to import .swf files; + if swfdec is UNinstalled, melt plays fine a .swf file and Openshot is happy too. Because of the above, you may consider hardcoding --disable-swfdec. There's probably nothing that requires /usr/lib/mlt/libmltswfdec.so (and the revdep list on mlt is short). ----- `file' reports it's: Macromedia Flash Video emerge --info: Portage 2.2.0_alpha51

Created attachment 287545 [details, diff] ebuild patch Adds local USE flag: swfdec.
Same thing is with media-libs/mlt-0.7.4 (not in Portage, I did a quick dirty bump on my system) wrt its unability to support .swf when media-libs/swfdec is installed.
here melt was able to play compressed flash files with swfdec and not without, so I applied your patch, thanks!
(In reply to comment #3) > here melt was able to play compressed flash files with swfdec and not without, > so I applied your patch, thanks! Good! Could you tell me if that file was a video or audio only? My test file is a video, "Macromedia Flash Video" according to the "file" utility. I think of filing a bug upstream if melt freezes on such a file (which occurs to me). App gnome-extra/swfdec-gnome doesn't seem to use MLT, only media-libs/swfdec directly and handles my test file correctly: shows a message ("xxx is not a Flash file"), while melt simply "freezes". This is an upstream issue so this bug which is about missing dep. can be closed anyway, I think.

Macromedia Flash data (compressed), version 6 (according file). Appararently libavformat doesnt handle these compressed files, so without swfdec, melt rejects them as it falls back on libavformat for flash.
(In reply to comment #5) > without swfdec, melt rejects them My case is that it rejects *with* swfdec, anyway: > Macromedia Flash data (compressed), version 6 (according file). it means your file is different than mine, so it doesn't anti-confirm (btw. head -c 3 my-file.swf → "FLV"). That's what I wanted to know. Thanks. :)
Just a note, it has been addressed upstream in a way described here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3494517&group_id=96039&atid=613414 (a month ago already).
