Thank you for your critique. I overlooked my version numbers. I upgraded my docker container build to 2.8.4 and used Blackmagic version 10.5.2 and it has compiled and now detected the device correctly. Thanks again!
Once I extracted the compiled executables into the host computer, the output is now: > ./ffmpeg -f decklink -list_devices 1 -i dummy ffmpeg version 2.8.4 Copyright (c) 2000-2015 the FFmpeg developers built with gcc 4.8 (Ubuntu 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04) configuration: --prefix=/usr/local --extra-cflags=-I/usr/local/include --extra-ldflags=-L/usr/local/lib --bindir=/usr/local/bin --extra-libs=-ldl --enable-version3 --enable-libx264 --enable-gpl --enable-postproc --enable-nonfree --enable-avresample --enable-libfdk_aac --disable-debug --enable-small --enable-decklink --extra-cflags=-I/usr/src/Blackmagic-SDK-10.5.2/Linux/include/ --extra-ldflags=-L/usr/src/Blackmagic-SDK-10.5.2/Linux/include/ libavutil 54. 31.100 / 54. 31.100 libavcodec 56. 60.100 / 56. 60.100 libavformat 56. 40.101 / 56. 40.101 libavdevice 56. 4.100 / 56. 4.100 libavfilter 5. 40.101 / 5. 40.101 libavresample 2. 1. 0 / 2. 1. 0 libswscale 3. 1.101 / 3. 1.101 libswresample 1. 2.101 / 1. 2.101 libpostproc 53. 3.100 / 53. 3.100 [decklink @ 0x2310380] Blackmagic DeckLink devices: [decklink @ 0x2310380] 'DeckLink SDI' dummy: Immediate exit requested ------ Sincerely, Ricardo Peña, Jr. Need Access To Your Files Everywhere? => Use Dropbox <http://db.tt/6GNck14a> Listen to something Uplifting => Audiocast <http://feeds.feedburner.com/skybreakchurchaudio?format=html> or sit back, relax, and Watch => Videocast <http://feeds.feedburner.com/skybreakchurchvideo?format=html> But if you want to watch it LIVE on your iphone => Livecast <http://skybreakchurch.com/live> On Wed, Jan 6, 2016 at 3:15 AM, Moritz Barsnick <barsn...@gmx.net> wrote: > On Tue, Jan 05, 2016 at 15:23:12 -0600, Ricardo Pena wrote: > > I keep getting the error: > > " Unknown input format: 'decklink' " > > when typing in the command : > > " ffmpeg -f decklink -list_devices 1 -i dummy " > > Please show us the complete, uncut console output of that command.
