Rebuilding libxine and vdr-libxineoutput

From LinuxMCE
Jump to: navigation, search

This is a recipie for building your own libxine2 and related vdr output packages.

The goal is to enable use of a newer ffmpeg than what is included in the standard 1004. More specifically, this allows LATM AAC audio playback in VDR. This audio encoding is used in some DVB-T transmissions in Europe.

Use this procedure with caution. If you don't understand some part of the procedure, then stop trying to follow it. Doing it wrong may leave a mess. Don't come running for help! YMMV.

Building


It also seems a rebuilt version of these packages are requried for VDR to correctly use xine for LATM audio: libxineliboutput-sxfe vdr-plugin-libxineoutput libxine1-xvdr

So we need to rebuild the vdr related stuff:


Installation

You only need to do this on the MD you use for playback. So if you have a core, there is no need to install the packages on that

apt-add-repository ppa:jon-severinsson/ffmpeg
apt-get update
apt-get install libavcodec53 libavdevice53 libavfilter2 libavutil51 libpostproc52 libswresample0 libswscale2 liba52-0.7.4
dpkg -i libxine2_1.2.0~hg-0_i386.deb
dpkg -i libxine1-xvdr_1.0.7+cvs20111217.2347-1yavdr2~lucid_i386.deb
dpkg -i vdr-plugin-xineliboutput_1.0.7+cvs20111217.2347-1yavdr2~lucid_i386.deb
dpkg -i libxineliboutput-sxfe_1.0.7+cvs20111217.2347-1yavdr2~lucid_i386.deb
dpkg -i xineliboutput-sxfe_1.0.7+cvs20111217.2347-1yavdr2~lucid_i386.deb

Now, reset/reboot the MD, or restart the devices in question (Xine_Player and VDR)
