Hi

I want to set the maximum possible number of consistent flags for the ffmpeg package.
How can this be done?
Is there any way to find out which use flags were used for the ffmpeg package in ubuntu?

first, there is the web overview: https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/media-video/ffmpeg
second, you can easily see the useflags by running emerge media-video/ffmpeg -pv

Useflags are portage specific. Some do match config settings at make conf, other to tell portage to do other things. You should rather ask yourself which feature is missing.

Thanks :)

I would like to have the maximum set of functions. I'm tired of looking for the right flag every time and rebuilding the package.
Now I got the "Unknown encoder 'libfdk_aac'" error, as I understand it, the fdk flag is responsible for this library.
I would like to build it with the maximum number of flags so that such a problem does not happen again.

The `equery` command, provided by app-portage/gentoolkit, can show you all available flags for a given package, together with their current status:
Code:
$ equery u ffmpeg

 - - gsm                    : Add support for the gsm lossy speech compression codec
 - - hardcoded-tables       : Use pre-calculated tables rather than calculating them on the fly. It results in an increase of approximately 15% in
                              the size of libavcodec, the main library impacted by this change. It enables savings in table generation time, done
                              once at codec initialization, since by hardcoding the tables, they do not need to be computed at runtime. However,
                              the savings are often negligible (~100k cycles is a typical number) especially when amortized over the entire
                              encoding/decoding operation. Improvements are being made to the runtime initialization, and so over time, this
                              option will have an impact on fewer and fewer codecs.

I don't think a maximum set of flags will avoid problems. Some flags depend on others and some even require use flags on other packages. So there is no "set everything to on" and all is fine...

As Banana said, useflags are a gentoo/portage feature. But you can see what options were used during ffmpeg compilation just by invoking ffmpeg without any argument.
Here's the output on my gentoo, you can see what was enabled or disabled for my specific ffmpeg build

Hyper fast Audio and Video encoder
usage: ffmpeg [options] [[infile options] -i infile]... {[outfile options] outfile}...

Use -h to get full help or, even better, run 'man ffmpeg'


So I guess using the ffmpeg command with a ubuntu liveCD/USB, you should be able to figure out what options were used for ffmpeg ubuntu build (but tbh many are not that useful, unless you spend a lot of time in video/audio editing or such)

Also there are things that can't be enabled at the same time. For example Systemd and OpenRC are incompatible. Possibly some FFMPEG flags can trigger these incompatibilities.

I know that it's a difficult thing to maintain but you must find a solution by yourself.

I personally spend my Fridays on that. Maintaining my machines. I see what's going on and tweak them. I check my "favorite" packages for changes and recompile them. If something goes wrong I'll have the weekend to solve it.

Never had problems. Most of the flags you don't need. What do you mean by "for the right flag every time", don't you put them in an entry in package.use?

What's the output of
Code:
grep -r ffmpeg /etc/portage


Best Regards,
Georgi

eix ffmpeg will show you the potential and default use flags.
