Description Peter Gantner (a.k.a. nephros) 2012-04-26 10:21:56 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #307935 +++

media-video/h264enc-9.4.6 is available.

Please investigate the dep on media-sound/aacplusenc which blocks media-libs/libaacplus which in turn is needed by recent ffmpeg.

I *think* h264enc only needs a binary called aacplusenc, and that is provided by libaacplus as well.

I have not investigated this though and don't know if they are commandline-compatible.

10.2.2 is latest.

I've got a working ebuild, adds support for dcaenc (new ebuild in tree) and for opus audio codec.

Sent out an email to gentoo-dev with feedback for moving opus use flag from local to global.  Once that goes through, I'll bump the ebuild.

Comment 5 G.Wolfe Woodbury 2015-06-01 18:56:29 UTC

Is there a technical reason that h264enc requires the installation of media-video/mplayer?

mplayer brings in all sorts of extraneous packages, that, as far as I can tell, are not *required* for h264enc to work.

If it isn't really needed can it be removed from the ebuild's RDEPEND list?

I use h264enc off & on - so I'm familiar with the basic functionality. The check for mplayer should actually be for mencoder (under Gentoo anyway)...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MEncoder

So it's an Upstream (h264enc) assumption that mencoder will be bundled with mplayer... Easy to fix with some sed magic or a patch... :-)

10.4.7 is the current version, so I guess this has been handled sometime in the past.
