Vlc 2.1.5 won't build with anything newer than 2.3.x and that's a show-stopper. Perhaps the new ffmpeg libraries could be statically linked to kodi? Or perhaps someone has a bright idea to make ffmpeg 2.4/2.5 coexist as ffmpeg_current without having the sonames clash? _______________________________________________ Packman mailing list [email protected] http://lists.links2linux.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/packman
