Yeah, got that if I switched to a newer version of ffmpeg I'd need to recompile squeezelite. I was more concerned with backward compatibility for other packages. ie. not sure what other packages depend on ffmpeg. Would be trying to get away with not needing to re-compile any other packages that use ffmpeg-libs. Suppose I could package ffmpeg v2 to install alongside ffmpeg v1.2. Is it worth the effort. WMA is flawless with ffmpeg v2? ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JackOfAll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99395 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
