hi

Today, when I need to use ffplay, which always worked fine in the past, I discovered that it has gone AWOL:

Code:

bash: ffplay: command not found


locate returns the location of the doc file.

So I re-emerge ffmpeg, and lo and behold, it does not install ffplay, just ffserver and ffmpeg:

Code:

--- replaced obj /usr/include/libavcodec/avcodec.h
--- replaced dir /usr/include/libavcodec
--- replaced dir /usr/include
--- replaced obj /usr/bin/ffserver
--- replaced obj /usr/bin/ffmpeg
--- replaced dir /usr/bin
--- replaced dir /usr
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
>>> Original instance of package unmerged safely.
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
>>> Auto-cleaning packages...

>>> No outdated packages were found on your system.


Now why is that?

I don't know if it's relevant, but due to other known bugs with X-org and ATI drivers, I switched to the Xorg ATI drivers a week or two back... is this connected?

Thanks, Ian

Code:

gentoo etc # equery uses ffmpeg
[ Searching for packages matching ffmpeg... ]
[ Colour Code : set unset ]
[ Legend : Left column  (U) - USE flags from make.conf              ]
[        : Right column (I) - USE flags packages was installed with ]
[ Found these USE variables for media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20081219 ]
 U I
 + + X                : Adds support for X11
 + + aac              : Enables support for MPEG-4 AAC Audio
 - - altivec          : Adds support for optimizations for G4 and G5/ppc970 processors
 + + amr              : Enables Adaptive Multi-Rate Audio support
 - - bindist          : Flag to enable or disable options for prebuilt (GRP)  packages (eg. due to licensing issues)
 - - debug            : Enable extra debug codepaths, like asserts and extra output. If you want to get meaningful backtraces see http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml
 - - dirac            : Enable Dirac video support (an advanced royalty-free video compression format) via the reference library: dirac.
 - - doc              : Adds extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc)
 - - encode           : Adds support for encoding of audio or video files
 - - gsm              : Enables support for the gsm lossy speech compression codec via libgsm.
 - - hardcoded-tables : Use pre-calculated tables rather than calculating them on the fly.
 - - ieee1394         : Enable FireWire/iLink IEEE1394 support (dv, camera, ...)
 + + ipv6             : Adds support for IP version 6
 + + mmx              : Adds support for optimizations for Pentium MMX and Athlon class processors
 - - mmxext           : Enables mmx2 support
 + + mp3              : Add support for reading mp3 files
 + + network          : Enables network streaming support
 - - schroedinger     : Enable Dirac video support (an advanced royalty-free video compression format) via libschroedinger (high-speed implementation in C of the Dirac codec).
 - - sdl              : Adds support for Simple Direct Layer (media library)
 - - speex            : Adds support for the speex audio codec (used for speech)
 - - ssse3            : faster floating point optimization for SSSE3 capable chips (Intel Core 2 and later chips)
 - - test             : Workaround to pull in packages needed to run with FEATURES=test. Portage-2.1.2 handles this internally, so don't set it in make.conf/package.use anymore
 - - theora           : Adds support for the Theora Video Compression Codec
 + + threads          : Adds threads support for various packages. Usually pthreads
 + + v4l              : Enables video4linux support
 - - v4l2             : Enable video4linux2 support
 - - vhook            : Enables video hooking support.
 + + vorbis           : Adds support for the OggVorbis audio codec
 - - x264             : Enable h264 encoding using x264
 - - xvid             : Adds support for xvid.org's open-source mpeg-4 codec
 + + zlib             : Adds support for zlib (de)compression


Other stuff which may or may not be relevant:

1. I recently switched gcc versions up to x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.3.2
2. When I did my latest kernel compile (2.6.28 ) I enabled TV support, because I thought I may be buying a TV card in the near future. In retrospect this was a bad idea.

Can't think of anything else which may have caused this, apart from the chaos with ATI-Drivers and other packages which won't install because of related issues to that.

So I add sdl to make.conf and wow, it works...

thanks a mill :-)

Just wondering why I never needed it before, and if it's a new requirement, why it isn't added by the ebuild, or at least let the ebuild complain..

Or am I missing something again? :-)

cheers, Ian

Felt for the same, this would qualify to be mentioned as an einfo.

There was something wrong with my media-libs/libsdl. Recompiling that, then recompiling ffmpeg (which was now able to properly detect my system's libsdl) did the trick.
