Avidemux

I tried avidemux but it seems to be missing codecs? There are no audio codecs and only two video codecs. Oddly enough avidemux can open and play video files just fine - with no audio. However there seem to be no audio/video compression codecs.

The command line version says

[ADM_ad_plugin] Scanning directory /usr/lib/ADM_plugins/audioDecoder/

[ADM_ad_plugin] Cannot parse plugin

[ADM_vf_plugin] Scanning directory /usr/lib/ADM_plugins/videoFilter/

[ADM_vf_plugin] Cannot parse plugin

[ADM_av_plugin] Scanning directory /usr/lib/ADM_plugins/audioDevices/

[ADM_av_plugin] Cannot parse plugin

[ADM_ae_plugin] Scanning directory /usr/lib/ADM_plugins/audioEncoders/

[ADM_ae_plugin] Cannot parse plugin

[ADM_ad_plugin] Scanning directory /home/tux/.avidemux/plugins/audioDecoder/

[ADM_ad_plugin] Cannot parse plugin

[ADM_vf_plugin] Scanning directory /home/tux/.avidemux/plugins/videoFilter/

[ADM_vf_plugin] Cannot parse plugin

[ADM_vidEnc_plugin] Scanning directory /usr/lib/ADM_plugins/videoEncoder/

[ADM_vidEnc_plugin] Cannot parse plugin

[ADM_vidEnc_plugin] Scanning done, found 0 codec

and indeed all those files/dirs are missing and don't seem to be part of the SliTaz package?

Re: Avidemux

Maybe you installed a broken avidemux-2.5.6.tazpkg?

The package on the build server and mirror has 150 files including the plugins.

Re: Avidemux

Sorry, actually I was using 2.5.4 - I don't think my package is broken (I downloaded it again just in case) - the 2.5.4 package has 27 files.

And...now I tried 2.5.6 - I don't think it can run under SliTaz 4.0?

avidemux2_gtk: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found (required by avidemux2_gtk)

I'll see if I can copy the missing files from 2.5.6 to 2.5.4 and so get 2.5.4 to work.

---------------

Anyway, meanwhile I compiled ffmpeg 2.5 and it works! I can't believe it...It encodes twice (or more) as fast as the version I was using (0.6 - pretty old?)

Re: Avidemux

So I think avidemux-2.5.4.tazpkg is broken. It's not that I had a bad copy. The package at the repository itself is broken.

And 2.5.6 doesn't run under SliTaz 4.0. And I can't 'borrow' files from 2.5.6 to 2.5.4 because of further version mismatch(es).

I'm trying to compile 2.5.4 right now.

Re: Avidemux

So, I 'cooked' 2.5.4 and got a package with 27 files, just like the original one. And broken like the original one. I'm guessing that there's something wrong with the 'receipt'?

(also, building requires libsdl-dev, which wasn't listed as build dependency).

I'm going to 'cook' 2.5.6 and see if I get a SliTaz 4.0 compatible package...

Re: Avidemux

success!

The receipt for 2.5.6 lists a lot of building depencies that SliTaz 4.0 doesn't have, so I couldn't cook it.

What I did was to simply run cmake and then make on the 2.5.6 sourceforge sources. That built a working avidemux2_gtk binary, plus these libraries

libADM5avformat.so.53  libADM5postproc.so.51

libADM5avcodec.so.53   libADM5avutil.so.51    libADM5swscale.so.2

putting all that in a directory allows avidemux to run. Now, the plugins were still missing and avidemux was looking for them in

/usr/local/lib/ADM_plugins

so I copied the stuff in /usr/lib/ADM_plugins_6 (which was part of avidemux-2.5.6.tazpkg) to /usr/local/lib/ADM_plugins  and avidemux loaded the plugins.

I haven't figured out yet why cmake/make didn't build the plugins though.

Only opencore-amr missing in 4.0, so you have to remove it from DEPENDS (and opencore-amr-dev from BUILD_DEPENDS)

See this changeset with name "avidemux: make plugins"

Re: Avidemux

Yes, the first thing that was missing was opencore-amr and since the depends list was longer, I assumed the other stuff was missing too. My bad.

Thanks for the link, I'll take a look.

Re: Avidemux

I cooked 2.5.6  -  I deleted the opencore-amr dependency from the receipt list. Also,  the ogg libraries are needed  butare not listed as a dependency.

Anyway, I got a working package except for the fact that a couple of plugins fail to register.  For instance the x264 encoding library is detected but avidemux says that it will ignore it for some reason. I need to take a better look at why.

Re: Avidemux

So, I *finally* got the x264 encoder to work.

There were two error messages. One says

[ADM_vidEnc_plugin] Scanning directory /usr/lib/ADM_plugins/videoEncoder/

ignored: x264

I don't know what that  means.

The other message said that libx264.so.142 couldn't be loaded. So I put a copy of libx264.so.142 in /usr/lib and that fixed it. By the way, the encoder shows up as "MPEG-4 AVC" in avidemux.

(I had compiled the 142 buld of x264 from the original source, but I'm not sure how cook found it and linked avidemux against it - I thought cook would use the 119 build from the installed SliTaz package)
