I'm trying to install additional video providers. I've compiled and installed the openquicktime lib (which seemed to go cleanly) then built the 'extras' (DirectFB-extra-0.9.16) which deposited the libidirectfbvideoprovider_openquicktime.so file in the the dir shown below. For some reason DirectFB is not able to dlopen the lib.
(!) DirectFB/core/gfxcards: Unable to dlopen `/usr/local/lib/directfb-0.9.21-debug/interfaces/IDirectFBVideoProvider/libidirectfbvideoprovider_openquicktime.so'! --> libopenquicktime.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (#) DirectFBError [dfb->CreateVideoProvider failed]: Interface implementation not available! This seems like a curious error, in so far as it has the correct path to the .so. Are there additional steps required to 'condition' the .so? The broader picture is that I'm trying to learn about video providers. I've looked through the v4l provider, but am having trouble putting things into perspective. I'm guessing the code in idirectfbvideoprovider_v4l.c controls the video display card side of the system, and works in conjunction with V4L or V4L2 controling the tv-tuner side of the system. Is that at all close to the money? Is there any other information I could study to learn this more easily? As always, thanks for any help...
