If you use ffmpeg-9999, compiling of ffmpegthumbnailer (all recent versions) will fail. This is a known bug, that is fixed in the ffmpegthumbnailer trunk: http://code.google.com/p/ffmpegthumbnailer/issues/detail?id=24#c0 Thus, a ffmpegthumbnailer-9999 ebuild would solve this. ffmpeg-9999 is masked, ok. But as the ffmpeg homepage *advises* to use the latest trunk version instead of a release, I think that it is advisable to use the -9999 ebuild. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge ffmpeg-9999 2. emerge ffmpegthumbnailer Actual Results: moviedecoder.cpp: In member function 'void MovieDecoder::convertAndScaleFrame(int, int, int&, int&)': moviedecoder.cpp:303: error: invalid conversion from 'int' to 'PixelFormat' moviedecoder.cpp:303: error: initializing argument 6 of 'SwsContext* sws_getContext(int, int, PixelFormat, int, int, PixelFormat, int, SwsFilter*, SwsFilter*, double*)' make[2]: *** [moviedecoder.lo] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/mnt/data/tmp/portage/media-video/ffmpegthumbnailer-1.2.5/work/ffmpegthumbnailer-1.2.5/src/libffmpegthumbnailer' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/data/tmp/portage/media-video/ffmpegthumbnailer-1.2.5/work/ffmpegthumbnailer-1.2.5/src' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 * * ERROR: media-video/ffmpegthumbnailer-1.2.5 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_compile * environment, line 106: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * emake || die "emake failed." * The die message: * emake failed. * * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. * A complete build log is located at '/log/portage/media-video:ffmpegthumbnailer-1.2.5:20090308-094111.log'. * The ebuild environment file is located at '/mnt/data/tmp/portage/media-video/ffmpegthumbnailer-1.2.5/temp/environment'. *

Sorry, using live ebuilds is unsupported, we cannot even guess what exact revision you installed and there is no warranty live ebuild for different applications will play nice. the ffmpeg-9999 ebuild is just a commodity to let lazy people try svn before snapshotting but beside that there isn't support for it.
Well, at least it's documented for others having that problem now. Greetings, Hendrik
