(solved) Installation of x264 and ffmpeg

williwow · 28. August 2012

Hi!

OMV works great! and one of the best features is being able to install SW from deb-rep's.
So I installed ffmpeg via apt-get (worked fine). But installation from standard repository is without x264 codec which I need for recoding my Videos. Here my questions:
1 - is there a repository which I can add to sources.list to install libx264 (64bit) from there?
OR
2 - is installation of gcc and make sufficient to compile x264-codecs for ffmpeg as described in numerous howtos in forums?

Thanks a lot

Have you tried deb-multimedia.org ?

williwow · 30. August 2012

no -thanks for the hint. I will try that first (on my opensuse-desktop all codecs are available, so there must be the packages somewhere out in the wild

I will try this this weekend.

Thanks all,

I added the deb-multimedia.org repository to sources list and (doing a lot of googleing and learning) fixed it finally!!
libx264 recognized, ffmpeg H.264-coding works!

Hi i have a similar question but with vlc.
I really need vlc for some live transcoding.

i have added those lines to my sources.list

Code

deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org squeeze main non-free
deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org squeeze-backports main

and tried both versions

Code

apt-get install vlc

which install VLC media player 1.1.3 The Luggage (revision exported)

and

Code

apt-get -t squeeze-backports install vlc

which install VLC media player 2.0.1 Twoflower (revision 2.0.1-0-gf432547)

for the vlc 1.1.3 version i get errors like this when i try to transcode some h264

Code

libdvbpsi error (PSI decoder): TS discontinuity (received 3, expected 0) for PID 0
libdvbpsi error (PSI decoder): TS discontinuity (received 12, expected 0) for PID 97

etc.

with vlc 2.0 i get

Code

[0x7f36e0001898] main generic warning: cannot load module `/usr/lib/vlc/plugins/codec/libavcodec_plugin.so' (/usr/lib/libXfixes.so.3: undefined symbol: _XLockMutex_fn)

[0xf1a1c8] main decoder error: cannot create packetizer output (mpga)

has someone installed a working vlc version and could help me?
ffmpeg is working correct.
I don't know how i can fix my problem with the libavcodec_plugin.so

Jetzt mitmachen!
