installing ffmpeg

[greenbag]

Yes... they are working now.

I was running the Valentine's day release, which was 3 releases prior to the modified ffmpeg release, so I did update Kodi.. but to an in between version, I guess, then updated again to the modified version you posted. I guess i applied it in layers.

btw.. there's a TwitchTV addon I've been reading, and it needs speex as well.

I've been playing with Raspian and Ubuntu Mate the last few days, and I just came across a guide to compiling Kodi for Jarvis on Debian and Ubuntu. It has an interesting note about how to configure the compile... ie: static libraries, or... building with external libraries enabled.

Quote:=== Configure ===

Code:

$ cd xbmc
$ ./bootstrap
$ ./configure

If you wish to use supported system libraries do this instead.

Code:

$ ./configure --enable-external-libraries

In either case, with the above installed packages this should go smoothly

I'm not a programmer, but that sounds like you can build Kodi to use whatever codecs and libraries you install to the system running Kodi in the first place.

I gotta try it. I spent 2 weeks learning to remaster Knoppix once. I just enjoy these types of projects. Let's me believe I actually know what i'm doing.
