The most recent (at time of writing) ffmpeg versions are: * 2.8.6(0/54.56.56)^d * (~)2.8.7(0/54.56.56)^d * {M}(~)3.1.3(0/55.57.57)^d The installed version has been 2.8.7 but the configure script of vlc-9999 complains about a too old version of libavcodec. After that I unmasked ffmpeg and merged 3.1.3. After that vlc-9999 could be configured, build, installed (merged).
I need to add, that I have to disable the dependency check, because the vlc-9999 ebuild dependency check fails: <media-video/ffmpeg-2.9:0=[vaapi] required by (media-video/vlc-9999:0/5-8::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge)
Thanks for the heads up Markus; I'll be working on a new 9999 ebuild tonight to incorporate a few fixes including this. Will try to get a proxy-maint to post it by tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.
Thank you Nick. I can test your ebuild on my machine, too.
Thanks Markus, I will post the udpated ebuild tonight (I'm on UTC-7:00).
Created attachment 448200 [details] vlc-9999.ebuild If you have a chance, can you please test this updated live ebuild. There's quite a few changes included in it. It's building cleanly on my system with ffmpeg-3.1.3 and GCC-5.4, but I need to test a few more permutations (various GCC versions, QT versions, etc.) before I will ask to have it bumped.
Created attachment 448202 [details, diff] vlc-9999.patch Here's a patch to the current ebuild (some Gentoo Devs prefer this to a full ebuild). Summary of changes: 1. Removing unneeded USE flags: macosx-quartztext & media-library 2. Updating RDEPEND: bluray, dvbpsi, gcrypt, gnutls, jack, postproc, qt5, vaapi, & zvbi 3. Updating DEPEND: gettext 4. Updating econf by removing: --disable-macosx-quartztext (unused), --disable-quicktime (no longer needed), & --enable-mkv (now auto detected) 5. Require -std=c++11 due to upstream change It's worth noting that vdpau does not support FFmpeg 3.x however VLC-9999 requires FFmpeg > 2.9 if you go the ffmpeg route. Alternatively, you can use libav however I haven't been able to test that yet.
Thank you. I disabled vdpau for vlc and merged it using ffmpeg as backend.
