Built Ffmpegthumbnailer, also inside Mediatomb

Filed in Applications , Developing , Foresight 0 comments

After some painkillers, I’ve managed to build ffmpegthumbnailer and also added it for Mediatomb.

The errors i manage to fix was:

aclocal: couldn’t open directory `m4′: No such file or directory

Was fixed by creating an empty m4 folder, that gets removed afterwards. So all Foresight users will never see it.

libffmpegthumbnailer/videothumbnailer.cpp:198: error: ‘errno’ was not declared in this scope

That file is missing: #include <errno.h>

So i managed to make a patch that will add that line inside videothumbnailer.cpp file. + had to add some buildreqs that wasnt suggested when cooking the recipe locally. But now its finally done.

So, what is ffmpegthumbnailer?

This video thumbnailer can be used to create thumbnails for your video files. The thumbnailer uses ffmpeg to decode frames from the video files, so supported videoformats depend on the configuration flags of ffmpeg. Here is some commands to use: Usage

To test them out, open terminal and write:

sudo conary update ffmpegthumbnailer=@fl:2-devel

for mediatomb:

sudo conary update mediatomb=@fl:2-devel

These packages was just perfect for me, weird errors that i managed to hunt down and fix them.
