Perhaps general encoding done via ffmpeg can be supported, for cases where recording via vp8/theora+vorbis is desired. I believe this was already supported? So currently mythtv is build against ffmpeg only for decoding purposes? - Fabian ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers

I will be basing the packaging from the packages that are currently distributed through Ubuntu. thanks for your attempt to resurrect MythTV in Debian! For a start, I've already implemented a way for mythtv to build and run with system libraries for ffmpeg, version= 4:0.6~~svn20100124-1, which will be the next ffmpeg upstream version to be uploaded. Next would be to have mythtv work with FFMpeg from the 0.5 branch in SVN (like the current packages in sid). This would than follow with having mythtv use libmp3lame via dlopen. There's also an interest upstream to use vorbis as a replacement/alternative to mp3. That's great news. However, I believe it would be easier to replace libmp3lame with libtwolame (a library that implements encoding to MPEG 1 Layer *2*, free of patent threats and already included in Debian), because its API has been designed to be as close to LAME's as possible.

I originally proposed using libmad (decoder) and libtwolame (MP2 encoder). If you can have that wipped then it could be a possibility. Happy to assist if what ever way possible, you can also use the pkg-mythtv-maintainers if you wish.. Mark Ok, I've implemented an initial patch that will get mythtv using libmp3lame via dlopen. You can find the packaging at Vcs-Git: git://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/mythtv.git Vcs-Browser: http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/mythtv.git It seems to me mythtv only used libmp3lame for encoding, so there's no need for a decoder. I could work on this some more where mythtv falls back to using libtwolame in case libmp3lame is missing. Any feedback is welcome. :) -- Regards, Andres ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
