I had a bug report relating to the ubuntu precise builds I've put together, the relevant bit of which is as follows:
avconv version 0.8.1-4:0.8.1-0ubuntu1, Copyright (c) 2000-2011 the Libav developers built on Mar 22 2012 05:29:10 with gcc 4.6.3 Input #0, aac, from '/home/mark/Podcasts/Saturday_Drama/Saturday_Drama_-_Mountain_of_Light_b00sqgdw_default.partial.aac': Duration: 01:01:35.85, bitrate: 131 kb/s Stream #0.0: Audio: aac, 44100 Hz, stereo, s16, 131 kb/s Unrecognized option 'absf' Failed to set value 'aac_adtstoasc' for option 'absf' INFO: Command exit code 1 (raw code = 256) it appears that recent versions of both ffmpeg and avconv have changed the options for applying bitstream filters (see http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html#toc-Bitstream-Filters). For ubuntu precise, due out in a matter of days, I'm going to have to change get_iplayer to support the new option formats, the question that arises is whether we should (a) change get_iplayer to support a more recent version of ffmpeg/avconv universally and drag windows, mac and older linux users into the new world, together with newer builds of the tools (b) treat this as a special case for ubuntu precise for now or (c) make it possible to support both the old and new option formats adding yet another option to get_iplayer to set this any thoughts?
