Dear all, Please CC me as I'm not subscribed to the list.
First thing first. Kudos to the debian-multimedia maintainers. We wouldn't have the Is it feasible to have youtube-dl be part of debian-multimedia suite . While the application is a downloader of videos from various media platforms it uses most of the decoders or at least most of the ffmpeg decoders that is used and I would say are pretty much inter-dependant on how well the decoders themselves work. I looked at transitions and saw that there is a ffmpeg transition in works with all associated libraries. https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-ffmpeg.html Can anybody tell/share when they expect the transition to start ? I am asking as I have been having a hard time downloading live streams of either the FIFA world cup or even just few hours ago downloading a live stream of an AGM of a company. I tried various sources but most of the sources default on the DASH protocol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Adaptive_Streaming_over_HTTP I remember a similar issue which happened with hls-native about couple of years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Live_Streaming I had the good fortune at the time to have both the multimedia libraries and youtube-dl at the latest on debian testing. I was able to help the upstream to look and get the issue fixed. IIRC the issue was in fact in avformat which was fixed by upstream after pointing out the issue repeatedly and reliably. If need be can share the links of the discussion involved. What is happening now at my end is the livestream (which isn't a real livestream anymore but still uses the dash protocol for the 'best' and only audio and video resource :( ) For FWIW, I have put up the AGM issue at https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/16908 but guess it would be a non-starter as haven't got the latest youtube-dl :( I also took the liberty of downloading the latest upstream tarball of ffmpeg 4.0.1 and seems to have quite a bit of changes. Anyways, sorry for the long mail. Hopefully we can get a new youtube-dl and the new libraries to see if the situation improves. I would have been also been also open to build local built packages but due to binutils issues have not been able to do that :( /etc/apt/preferences.d$ cat apt-listbugs Explanation: Pinned by apt-listbugs at 2018-03-25 06:42:33 +0530 Explanation: #852035: binutils: bfd stumbles over duplicated symbols generated by gold Explanation: #852671: libkf5kipi: FTBFS (linking error) Explanation: #852672: libqapt: FTBFS (linking error) Explanation: #852899: libkf5kipi: FTBFS: libQt5Gui.so.5.7.1:(*IND*+0x0): multiple definition of `__bss_start' Explanation: #852909: libqapt: FTBFS: libQt5Gui.so.5.7.1:(*IND*+0x0): multiple definition of `__bss_start' Package: binutils Pin: version * Pin-Priority: -30000 Please don't hesitate if somebody wanted somebody to test something, please let me know what needs to be tested and how. I do see the libraries are all there in experimental and can install them but dunno if that will change anything or not.
