Ok, so you know factually that some things are broken when linking XBMC with Libav instead of XBMC-FFmpeg. > Upstream makes sure all their use-cases work well with FFmpeg and not > interested in Libav-related issues. According to XBMC, they only make sure their code works with XBMC-FFmpeg. > I can't fix the problems because I don't have any HW reproducing them, > and I don't get help from Libav upstream/maintainers either in fixing > those issues. That sounds to me like you do not factually know if XBMC will be broken also when linked against FFmeg (you only really know about XBMC-FFmpeg). > I would like to have flawlessly working XBMC in Debian as well, but it > can't happen without fixing the Libav issues I mentioned above or > letting FFmpeg entering Debian. I do understand how it is easier for you to link XBMC against FFmpeg than against Libav, since FFmpeg has similar/same API as XBMC-FFmpeg, but it seems to me that you are jumping to conclusions when stating that linking against (non-XBMC-)FFmpeg will make XBMC work "flawlessly". - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
