Hi,

I tried to compiled xbmc on a debian and nvidia 9400 GT.

I had a problem during the compilation :

Code:

configure: == Use of external ffmpeg enabled. ==
checking for ff_vdpau_vc1_decode_picture in -lavcodec... no
== External ffmpeg doesn't support VDPAU. VDPAU support disabled. ==
checking for main in -la52... no
configure: error: Could not find a required library. Please see the README for your platform.

I used nvidia driver 185.19 (I tried with 185.18 - 190.19, ...).

I compiled my ffmepg with this parameter :

Code:

./configure --enable-vdpau

I have the same problem.

I don't understand how can I solve it?

Thanks.

I solve the problem. It was a problem of missing libraries.

But now I have an error with make
with goom2k4-0.

make -C goom2k4-0
make[2]: entrant dans le répertoire « /home/fafarun/logiciels/xbmc/trunk/xbmc/visualizations/Goom/goom2k4-0 »
make[2]: *** Pas de cibles spécifiées et aucun makefile n'a été trouvé. Arrêt.
make[2]: quittant le répertoire « /home/fafarun/logiciels/xbmc/trunk/xbmc/visualizations/Goom/goom2k4-0 »

make: *** [visualizations] Erreur 2

Now it's ok. I used the branch version (on svn), not the thunk.

How did you manage to install XBMC on debian lenny?

I'd really appreciate some simple instructions? For the moment I'm battling with the same issue (no VDPAU support).

Cheers

i have the same problem with external ffmpeg and xbmc pvr-testing2

ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -codecs | grep vdpau

so vdpau is working. i'm able to watch mkv files with xine, mplayer.
i have no clue about solving this problem without using the internal ffmpeg.

thanks

solved my problem with external ffmpeg

configure: == Use of external ffmpeg enabled. ==
checking for ff_vdpau_vc1_decode_picture in -lavcodec... no
== External ffmpeg doesn't support VDPAU. VDPAU support disabled. ==

i compiled ffmpeg with --enable-shared

here is my ffmpeg config

configuration: --enable-postproc --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --enable-pthreads --enable-x11grab --enable-libdc1394 --enable-libfaac --enable-libfaad --enable-libgsm --enable-libvorbis --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid --disable-debug --prefix=/usr/local --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libschroedinger --enable-shared

instead of ffmpeg now i have another problem with python

/usr/local/src/XBMC/xbmc/lib/libPython/XBPyThread.cpp:224: undefined reference to `PyRun_StringFlags'
/usr/local/src/XBMC/xbmc/lib/libPython/XBPyThread.cpp:213: undefined reference to `PyRun_FileExFlags'

maybe someone can have the same problem

Hi theend,

I was wondering if you compiled the external ffmpeg using --enable-shared? I have the same problem with VDPAU compiling with external-ffmpeg. I think it's because the function ff_vdpau_vc1_decode_picture() is not found in the system libavcodec/ directory. I don't know what to do with it. Thanks!

Why not just use internal ffmpeg

The internal ffmpeg work. But I still need to get external ffmpeg works with vdpau. Is there a way to do it? Thanks!
