Hello,
Many months has passed. I've learned lesson: FFMPEG is a big monster with
lot's to know about but thinks in FFMPEG mixxx version are stabilazing to
usefull level. Now I like to get some testing
lp:~pasanen-tuukka/mixxx/mixxx-ffmpeg-0.11.
Someone who hasn't read the list long story short. Couple months ago I
started port old FFMPEG code to new FFMPEG version and now it's getting
somehow ready.
Playing is working great recording is not (I'll get it to soon because it's
sooo easier than playing). You can expect WMA, MP3, MP4, AAC and OGG
(Vorbis, FLAC) to work also WAV works but who really uses it (any hands?).
You can use Mono or stereo (from 8bit to 32bit) FFMPEG should convert it to
correct stereo 16bit (at least now)
I assume things are not that great! Byte exact playing you can excpect from
MP3, MP4 and OGG (FLAC and WAV also). With WMA don't event dream with it.
Opus is greatly in works. If someone has Opus tracks or knows where to
download real music tracks let me know.
Currently to test this you'll need some skills in compiling Mixxx from
source and get all depency hell right. If you are using recent Linux distro
or you are using Mac OS X (ports or homebrew) you are in good position.
With Windows I have to learn little bit how to get FFMPEG and it's
depencies compile.
What you need is FFMPEG and FFMPEG-devel packages. If you are very
adventurous mind you can also compile your own FFMPEG package (I can try to
walk you through it. It's not that bad).
You also need bzr-command and scons.
branch should work with FFMPEG versions 0.10-1.x. Test you rffmpeg
depencies before trying to compile anything also QT4 stuff. Mixxx ain't so
hard to compile nor it's very very easy task.
Get Launchpad branch with (It's nearly synced with lp:mixxx. So you'll also
see what new and fancy if you haven't checked before)
bzr branch lp:~pasanen-tuukka/mixxx/mixxx-ffmpeg-0.11
then go to mixxx-ffmpeg-0.11 and run scons ffmpeg=1. With Mac OS X things
are not that simple but If you are on Mac OS X let me know. I'll try to
tell how to make it. Scons will tell what is not correct with your system
and I everything is great it compiles things for you.
I have cleaned up version (now it prints horibble lot of DEBUG to screen)
ready to push but I have to test it that I haven't break anything.
Some disclaimer: if your ffmpeg doesn't support WMA, MP3 or something it
just won't play it.
I'll see if I can build unofficial Mixxx binaries with FFMPEG to attract
more testing... but I hope someone test it first.
If you can't get it compiling mail me or better to this list so everyone
else benefits. If someone knows how to get this compile on Windows I'm more
than ears..
Thanks,
Tuukka
