I assume it is enabled by default. I don't know the history of this flag though.

Comment 2 John Lowry 2010-04-02 19:22:30 UTC

No, in the configure script it is disabled by default, I am looking at 0.11 right now. I am looking at how to enable it again with a patch.

libextractor patch

This patch against 0.12.0-r1 enables libextractor support. There is a messy if/elif/else section in src_configure which probably could be done better but I don't know how :(

Upstream used to have libextractor disabled by default because it was very slow and was known to leak memory. I don't know if this is still the case. Enabling libextractor also has the side effect of disabling ffmpeg and and ffmpegthumbnailer support.

We should probably elog the fact that libextractor is disabled even when requested in the case. Thanks for the patch, I'll commit it soon.

No problem :)

Just to let you know that 0.12.1 has also been released which fixes YouTube support. It was broken after the recent YouTube website changes.
