Other then that, I imagine it would be compiled with whatever options were used last time. libav has to be quite new as well, at least 10_alpha1, which I believe is > than any ubuntu package (but is debian experimental). The version of libvpx has to be at least version 1.3.0 for this to work.
So basically to do this we need to recompile libav (aka avconv aka the libavcodec-extra package) with the options -enable-libvpx and -enable-libopus. First step would be to recompile libav to support the format so people could upload the file (and then we convert to VP8 or theora for people who don't support the format) Given we want to promote free formats, it would be great if we could be an early adopter. Its supposed to be quite a bit better format than current webm with VP8. Firefox (alpha versions) and chrome already have support built in, and its rumoured that various mobile phones will have hardware decoding support eventually. VP9 is supposed to be the new big thing in open video formats war. Subject: upgrade libav to version 10 making sure to compile against libvpx > 1.3.0 and libopus so we have VP9 video support Estimating duration from bitrate, this may be inaccurateĭuration: 00:00:09.92, start: 0.000000, bitrate: N/A The thumbnailing part gives a proper error:Įrror creating thumbnail: '/usr/bin/avconv' -threads 1 -ss 1 -y -i ' ' -ss 3 -s 512x288 -f mjpeg -an -vframes 1 '/tmp/transform_90574ebe6d7e-1.jpg' 2>&1Īvconv version 0.8.6-4:0.8.6-0ubuntu0.12.04.2~wmf1, Copyright (c) 2000-2013 the Libav developers
I'm not sure why its not giving a proper error message, but I think the cgroup issue has been fixed. Yet? Sounds like that issue (in which case not upstream)Įrr, nevermind. Has the issue with cgroups on the video scalars been fixed
