@John. No problem. The ffmpeg devloper's argument doesn't seem too robust. I'd guess the proposal rejection might not be set in stone.

@Veron, yes, I'm sorry if it seemed I was critical of your help, my "Shoot the messenger" was aimed at @Reinhart who didn't bother yet (?) in 2011 to patch it. Your link to https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/7211 is interesting. They make a good point, hide by default will make their job harder. But for every one developer there are how many users? 1,000s? 100,000? So the user experience is paramount. I make that comment as a developer myself, though unfortunately not (yet) for Linux. So if I sound preachy, I'm sorry, but I'm only trying to put across an attitude that I feel obliged to observe myself.

[Bug 730159] Re: ffmpeg library configuration mismatch
I hope you don't think I'm rejecting VanillaMozilla's insights. I'm just a user suffering from this issue too... see #13 above. I agree '-show-banner' would be preferable. Why don't you file a bug at the ffmpeg bug tracker requesting it? https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ (Leave a note here if you do.) For anyone who isn't aware of 'bash aliases', they are a way of making the workaround permanent. It is *really* easy to create one. I'm following this example.[1] Using a text editor append this to the bottom of the hidden file '~/.bashrc' and save it: alias ffmpeg='ffmpeg -hide_banner' Then enter this in the terminal and hit return: . ~/.bashrc (Note the space between the '.' and '~/.bashrc'.) Now every time you run 'ffmpeg' it will automatically run 'ffmpeg -hide_banner' for you. No more ffmpeg spam in your terminal and you don't have to remember to use the -hide_banner option.

[Bug 730159] Re: ffmpeg library configuration mismatch
@Veron: thank you. But, as with all workarounds, the users need to know the workaround exists. I find it very sad to see insights such as VanillaMozilla gives rejected. Shoot the messenger. @Reinhart: we have to disagree on what an "average user" is. Certainly the kind of beginner I sometimes help, just interested in a safer replacement for Windows, with which to do web browsing and mail, no, those users will never use the command line, let alone ffmpeg specifically. But on my local user group mailing list it's not unusual for ffmpeg to be mentioned (it's highly thought of, by the way). That's a list that's mainly read by Linux users who are not developers, and few are really comfortable with the command line, but they are willing to try advice that others have vetted. And when they see warnings that actually they don't need, since they don't understand them they get jittery. That superuser discussion is excellent. I especially like the comment "however the option -show-banner would be nicer than to hide it". How very true. To a developer low on empathy that provokes "Huh, show or hide, no difference, same functionality". But for a user that's a very big difference. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/730159 Title: ffmpeg library configuration mismatch To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ffmpeg-extra/+bug/730159/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 730159] Re: ffmpeg library configuration mismatch
Please, I hope you DO fix it. I understand the reluctance to remove a needed message, but I would hope the spuriousness could be removed. Programs like ffmpeg and avconv are used simply because they are darned useful. They often accomplish in seconds what front end apps can't do at all. Contrary to what you might think, I don't know if I'm average, but like many people, I find it hard enough--extremely hard, in fact--to deal with real messages, never mind the spurious ones.

[Bug 730159] Re: ffmpeg library configuration mismatch
Well, the warning is printed whenever you use a copy of the 'ffmpeg'
binary with a copy of libavcodec (or any other library provided by the
ffmpeg source package) that has been built with a different
configuration. Which is the whole point of the 'libavcodec-extra*'
packages: Enable additional functionality.

I do not think that the 'ffmpeg' command-line tool is useful to the
"average [ubuntu] user". Frontend applications are going to ignore it
anyways. So with this in mind, I'm inclined to mark this bug as
"wontfix".

[Bug 730159] Re: ffmpeg library configuration mismatch
The problem is that ffmpeg is spewing nearly a page-full of spurious error messages to the screen every time it is run, and/or that ffmpeg is mis-configured at build-time, and the library mismatch may be causing very difficult to find glitches or artefacts, bugs, or even outright crashes and protection faults. If maintainers are confident that the configuration mismatch has no effect, there should be a patch to cmdutils.c to suppress the output in the PRINT_LIB_INFO macro. IMO arguments about whether upstream are being overly cautious, insufficiently clever about their library detection, or whatever, aren't at issue here (I have no opinion on it).
