I am in dpup 009 at the moment and loaded ffconvert-1.0.pet and ffmpeg1-0-i686-Lucid.pet.
The app refuses to recognize any video I load as source - just says no video or audio.

WARNING: Installing any of ffmpeg pet, primerly installed ffmpeg and libraries are overwritten, and your multimedia environment may corrupt.

Although ffmpeg-runall-0.6-i686-p4.pet worked on dpup-009, by my quick test,
probably you need not install special ffmpeg, for the dpup-009 (squeeze).
Install ffconvert-1.0.pet only.

Compiled xine-lib with ffmpeg-0.6 + recent codecs.
xine-lib-1.1.19-p4.pet available. See the top of this topic.

Thanks very much for this new xine-lib. I can now play theora video in gxine but not webm . Test video: http://lachy.id.au/lib/media/elephantsd ... tereo.webm from: Custom controls WebM video.

Thanks, abushcrafter for the report and the link to the test video.
I confirmed it can be played with ffplay.sh but cannot by gxine as you reported.

Release xine-lib 1.1.19
A new version of xine-lib is available. This is mainly bug fixes, but
there are one or two new features, notably support for the WebM container format.

Hum... i may mistook the compile options...

Oops. Sorry.

I installed ffmpeg-runall-0.6-i686-p4.pet and ffplay works great

but when I try to install this xine-lib-1.1.19-p4.pet Gxine segfaults

How do I get my gxine working with ffmpeg?

Gxine version 0.5.903 using xine-lib 1.1.8


Edit: danggg, I try to fix one thing and another problem arises, installing your ffmpeg-runall-0.6-i686-p4.pet really screwed up my opengl acceleration....gonna be a pain to fix it

I shoulda saw a red flag when it said it replaces libraries...

Edit: I inspected the .pet and it turns out it overwrites some SDL files reinstalling SDL-1.2.9.pet got my games and everything working
again but now ffplay doesn't work haha, linux is a pain sometimes

Can anybody tell me how to fix the conflicting sdl versions?

Edit: I think its fixed now, I redirected libSDL.so and libSDL-1.2.so.0 symlinks to point to the older SDL everything SEEMS to be working in harmony now, ffplay works and my games work

Gxine still segfaults with the new library and I don't know how to fix it, at least I backed up the old one...

FFmpeg-0.7.2(most recent stable libav version) and codecs.
See the top post.

What CPU was this compiled for? Stuff compiled for an i686 tend not to work for me.

Ok. Looks like it was compiled for a i486. That should work fine for me. I'll give it a try.

ffmpeg_runall-0.7.6-p4.pet
http://shino.pos.to/party/bridge.cgi?pu ... /opt/pets/

It supports x11grub.
Also install the FFConvert-1.3 or later to enable capturing screen.
