media-tv/nuvexport try to use ffmpeg with -vcodec xvid and fails. ffmpeg releases seem to be rare and many distro are including cvs version of ffmpeg so I think adding a cvs version to portage could be a good idea.
I'd rather fix nuvexport to use ffmpeg native mpeg4 codec. When necessary we make a snapshot of ffmpeg, not sure if now is the right time, maybe once the number of fix added will make it worth I'll do (probably it's due a couple of weeks)
Snapshot was added recently, so I need to know the status of this.
Thank for adding a snapshot. But xvid support is not enabled by default. So a USE flag will be needed. I tried enabling it myself but I get a lot of errors (without xvid, it compile ok). The topmost are: gcc -O3 -Wall -Wno-switch -O2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -DHAVE_AV_CONFIG_H -I.. -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_GNU_SOURCE -c -oxvidff.o xvidff.c xvidff.c:26:18: xvid.h: No such file or directory xvidff.c: In function `ff_xvid_encode_init': xvidff.c:91: error: `xvid_plugin_single_t' undeclared (first use in this function) Look like I am missing some dependencies but don't have time to investigate it currently. Will write back if I find something.
the xvid useflag got removed. What about changing nuvexport to work properly with ffmpeg?
Didn't know it was removed. It's still in my use.desc I made a small patch to add xvid USE flags to the ebuild and it works. Could you explain what you mean by making nuvexport work "properly" with ffmpeg? Do you mean using -vcodec mpeg4 ? If it's that, it's already an option (called DivX) and xvid in another option. I would just prefer to have all options working.
Created attachment 53079 [details, diff] add xvid use flag to ffmpeg
ffmpeg with xvid support is back.
