Hi all, Video decoding is an important function for a lot of devices. We currently have gst-ffmpeg, which includes the ffmpeg sources, in OE-Core but we don't have ffmpeg or libav itself that is a bit more re-usable outside of GStreamer. This brings up a few questions:
1) Which is the preferred option for OE; ffmpeg or its "fork" libav? libav seems to be better suited to use as a library but on the other hand ffmpeg isn't exactly dead. Some background: http://aballier.wordpress.com/2013/01/18/ffmpeg-vs-libav-a-distribution-maintainer-point-of-view-almost-two-years-after-the-split/ http://blog.pkh.me/p/13-the-ffmpeg-libav-situation.html 2) Following on from that, should we pull the preferred library into OE-Core and avoid the need for the current bbappend in meta-oe for gst-ffmpeg? (One of my personal motivations for sorting this out). This would of course be protected by LICENSE_FLAGS as we currently do with gst-ffmpeg. Thoughts?
