The above version breaks streaming codecs in firefox but works great with mplayer and the such. Still need to add vlc but I have a good feeling about it all.

That looks like an update. My ffmpeg is currently 5.something.

I wouldn't want to break streaming codecs on this machine but I am just putting the final touches on another machine I have here. I wasn't planning on installing ffmpeg there but I think I will. There is no desktop on that machine but it uses the amdgpu and radeon drivers. I'll install ffmpeg and mplayer and see what it can do on the console.

Hey Alan!

Same here on a different drive. 5.2.1 methinks but I can readily check if it really matters.

For sure. I am guesstimating things will soon be back in sync but in the meantime there is nothing wrong with 5.2.1 that I am aware of BUT I do notice a speed and quality boost with 6.0 at the helm. I did up a test 4K gopro video and plan to make up a 1020p and 720p of the exact same clip. I stripped two minutes from the original 4K mp4 which was made by my youngest daughter of her paddle boarding just outside of the Ladysmith Harbour (Coffin Point). I think they will make perfect test videos if you are in need.

I wasn't planning on installing ffmpeg there but I think I will.

FOR SURE!!! It is a dependency for both mplayer and vlc. Also I heard vlc can play x265's which might matter in the near future.

I'll install ffmpeg and mplayer and see what it can do on the console.

Sounds like a plan.

Life is good,
Maurice

Sure, send them over. It'll give me something to test with.

I'll install ffmpeg and mplayer and see what it can do on the console.

I had a quick look and there is quite a list of dependencies I'll need along with ffmpeg and mplayer.

I haven't done it yet but I'll set aside an hour or two and get that done in the next little bit here.

Hey Alan!

It'll give me something to test with.

That is the general idea. And for the record I meant 1080p and not 1020p. Also you can use the 4k one as a master to test your build of ffmpeg. Also, also changing formats such as mp4 -> mpeg2 which will make a difference when playing on a slower system.

I had a quick look and there is quite a list of dependencies

Quite a few are optional except that I personally don't think they are. Older Mac laptops come to mind whcn thinking about compatibilty and the such.

Life is good,
Maurice

Hey Benny!

I already have one except I haven't done anything with it yet. It's the 8G one and the tentitive plan is to get a nvme disk to boot up on it.

For sure. I am not a fan of the microsds other than for digital cameras and the such (storage). Booting to them is just too sad if you know what I mean.

8K? Best I can do today is 4K given the lack of a 8K monitor ... and no there is no plan for 8K here.

Life is good,
Maurice
