That's indeed something that I could do in the Debian package: Install
a regular libx264.so in /usr/lib, and a 10bit in
/usr/lib/x264-10bit/libx264.so in addition, and document how to use it
in some README.Debian file. Not really nice, but I guess better than
nothing.


How about Debian's alternatives system? I think it is easier to use 
and more consistent than a LD_LIBRARY_PATH hack.

Bug#644901: Slightly different behavior, title update or new bugreport needed ?

2012-10-12 Thread Raphaël HALIMI
I have a quite similar problem on two different copmputers (a manually 
assembled PC and a Lenovo X200s laptop). Since the symptoms are slightly 
different, I don't know if I should file a different bugreport, or if 
this one should be changed to reflect the more general nature of the bug.


The differences are :

- The crackling sound generally disappear after a few seconds, and it 
happens only at the beginning of playback. This problem affects every 
software based on VLC (freetuxtv when changing channel, Amarok with 
phonon-backend-vlc at the beginning of a song (but not always), etc etc).


- It also happen (with Amaork at least) when manually changing position 
with the time counter, and sometimes when changing song (either 
automatically or manually), or 30 seconds or so before the song 
automatically changes. In the latter case, there is no crackling at the 
beginning of the next song.


- It happens on both of the computers I use : a manually assembled 
desktop PC (lspci says 00:14.2 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices 
[AMD] nee ATI SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) (rev 40)) and a Lenovo ThinkPad 
X200s (00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD 
Audio Controller (rev 03)), so it must not be limited to ca0106 HDAudio 
device like the title says.

AFAIK, the alternative system requires root privileges to change the
selected alternative, whereas LD_LIBRARY_PATH can be changed by any user on
a per-encode basis. Several encodes can be started with different
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and therefore different bit depth. The only limitation with
that system is that a single process is limited to a single bit depth.

Of course, the alternative system could be used on top of that, to allow to
configure the default bit depth, when no LD_LIBRARY_PATH is specified.

 Would dlopen() work to hack around this sort of limitation?  I recall

Certainly a dlopen() approach works adequately for me now. It is just
that my approach to generating an installable package is ugly.

I had considered two different approaches,

1) Install a parallel build of x264 in a new directory hierarchy and
knowing that path, open the .so with dlopen().

2) Try to modify the configure scripts and makefile to in order to
produce libx264-10bit.so that could be placed in the usual install
location alongside the 8 bit version. The name of the built libraries
could be controlled by a configure option. You would still need a
dlopen() based approach in some cases but the location of the library
would no need to be specified.

I ended up doing 1) simply because it was easier, but I feel that 2)
might actually be a better solution, as everything could live in
standard locations.

Regards,
Jonathan.

I agree. There are different cases here, mine was the most complex where
I need to decide at runtime if 8 or 10 bit was needed.

As others have said this can be achieved by using a suitable arrangement
of dlopen() to select the required library.

From a debian packaging point of view, the key thing is what is the
correct way to package up and install the 10 bit version alongside the 8
bit.

From an x264 perspective, is there anything that needs to be done to the
build system to support this in a clean way.

Regards,
Jonathan.

Bug#690300: New upstream release: 0.7.1

2012-10-12 Thread Alessio Treglia
Package: dvdauthor
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

some months ago, the upstream author released a new version:

   http://sourceforge.net/projects/dvdauthor/files/dvdauthor/0.7.1/

A list of changes (as taken from the ChangeLog file) introduced by the
new release follows:

0.7.1: 2012 August 20
No longer silently fail to build dvdunauthor if libdvdread is not 
present;
must be explicitly disabled with --disable-dvdunauthor, 
otherwise configure
reports an error
Allow format specification at top level of dvdauthor control file
mpeg2desc now reports more details about video frames
More explanatory XML-parsing errors

Could you please update the packaging to such release?

If you need sponsoring, please consider to join the Debian Multimedia
Maintainers team:

  http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia#Get_involved

We'd be glad to support you in co-maintaining the packaging and, for sure,
sponsoring uploads for you.

Thanks in advance for any reply, cheers!

Hi Alessio et al,

Are you up for another collaboration?
Since today Ardour3 has an optional dependency on
  https://github.com/x42/libltc
Could you look into downstreaming it to debian?

NB. the tagged [1] downloads come without debian/ folder. If it makes
your job easier I can upload dedicated releases.


Should I open a WNPP request? or are you faster with that?

Cheers!
robin

Oh I see what you did there. I don't think that's gonna work in
debian. TBH, I think we should just install the 10 bit libx264.so
binary into the regular libx264-NN package and document it properly in
./usr/share/doc/libx264-NN/README.Debian.

On the second thought, we could even install some wrapper into
/usr/bin that starts the passed on argument with proper
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

In any case, I don't see the point in adding new source or binary packages.
