I haven't looked at the old port (I'm not the official maintainer), but the real problem with the newer versions of slimserver is not the base logitech media server itself but with ffmpeg. slimserver requires the newer api present in ffmpegs audio library packaged in .86 and above. I had started to port ffmpeg .8 but it's a real real challenge. There are so many options to it that I give real kudos to the original ffmpeg port author. Once the port is done, how do you solve the interoperability problems with the old ffmpeg. Basically anyone attempting to do it will require them to do a new port of .7, .8, and .9 series of ffmpeg and have them install in such a way that they co-exist peacefully. After that they need to go through all the dependent ffmpeg ports and point them at the newly named libraries and directories. A very daunting task indeed. -- darkmark ------------------------------------------------------------------------ darkmark's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39079 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88765 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
