Hi,

do you have the library package of the same version installed? I'm
running the same version without problems.
Try
rpm -qa|fgrep avifile

 
 Are there other plugins I need to install??  As I said, I am playing 
 only avi files with the player and it now only plays some correctly, 
 whereas it used to play all of my avi's fine. The ones it no longer 
 plays properly play the audio but no video. This is as of the latest update.

AVI is just a container, there can be different formats inside. Why
don't you look up the format of the files that don't play anymore. You
need extra plugins for formats that aren't implemented as native
decoders. But this doesn't include DivX and releated formats, they
play fine with the core plugins.

You can also provide me with the output of aviplay. Another test:
remove your $HOME/.avirc and try it again.

Why are you using Cooker packages built with gcc3.1 on a stable

 avifile player seems to be broken currently, even with latest CVS snapshot. 
 See [Cooker] Avifile working? message from 29/05 in archive list.
 Tim Lee sent me this patch i didn't tried myself, but i forwarded it to 
 avifile developper. So either try it yourself or wait for upstream answer.
 


or you can just apply this as an interim solution to get avifile working :-)

 avifile player seems to be broken currently, even with latest CVS snapshot.

yup. i got a snapshot of the cvs just prior to this and have built an

For resuming:
- avifile uses lame3.70, ant mp3 creation is patented
- avifile uses GSM from Xanim, which license is gpl-incompatible
So, it is not incompatible with the law, but incompatible with 
Mandrake's own policy.
The conclusion was finally the package would be removed from contribs, and i

AFAIK mp3 is only patented in germany and the usa,and in the usa it

You only have a year). Germany seems to be solid (if you overlook the
fact that you can't officially patent software). I think you can legal

I have asked many times on avifile mailing list if they could create a
release version out of CVS but the main developers never answered. It
seems that they just want to keep on adding features and do not bother
releasing anytime soon. The CVS version is far superior to the latest
release version so it is a shame that the rpm is made of 0.53. CVS version
is really fast, good quality and at least for me also very stable. Maybe
you could grab a CVS version and see if you can build rpm out of it?

David,

A patent means you own the rights to use an invention/process.  The ISO
code is copyrighted but is also pateneded.  Using the ISO code in
anything that is distibuted commercially would require a license to do
so.  Fraunhaufer (or however you spell it) seems to have ignored
requiring a license of the patent for playback.  However, they have not
ignored that for encoding.  

So unless I'm terribly mistaken LAME would still require a patent
license and shouldn't be included in the distribution.  Of course I'm
not a laywer so maybe I misunderstood.

Gentlemen I think there are a couple of things that need to be addressed.

They revolve around:

(1) Having something which requires us to pay a fee for a function is not
Ok. In this case it would be the encoding function of MPEG.

(2) An open-source, but restrictive license is not Ok either.

If lame has gotten rid of those MPEG patented functions, it might be Ok to 
include it.

If they meet the above requirements, I think people should be very open-minded
about its inclusion in cooker. I have used xmovie and xine before, and I know
that xine has problems with playing certain VCDs, and that xmovie does not
work 100 % of the time (though it has come a long way from 1.5.x ..)

Someone want to make an RPM of it, or has already got one?

Seems like the only way to get anything done in the United States is to
slip across the border to Mexico and e-mail the RPMs to some country
that doesn't have such problems.  Then we just need to add that server
to our source for RPM updates.

And I thought having to go to a server in Sweden for an SSL capable Lynx
was bad a while back...

Yes.

DCMA.

If you send a spec, would that be Ok?

I still think lame isn't legal because of the patent even if they don't
have the ISO code anymore.  It's like LZW Compression and Unisys they
don't care what implementation you use, even ones the programmers say
avoid the claims in the patent.  If you can read and write LZW
Compression (e.g. GIF) then you're violating the patent.  And like you
said I'm not willing to try and prove them wrong.

 I just uninstalled avifile.  I fetched avifile 0.6.0 from CVS at
 sourceforge, followed the advice from http://divx.euro.ru and did:

   Manually edit the source code and remove all instances of keyword
   'inline' from lib/audiodecoder/mpeg/filter.cpp and filter_2.cpp.

 Then, after minor editing of the makefile ( it's cvs, after all ) I
 successfully built it in 8.0 - it runs well.

avifile .6.0 is still an alpha version as i understand.  It didnt compile 
for me the last time i tried it.   The 5.x series of avifile should build 
cleanly, and work fine.

They should only :-). Avifile 5.3.5 doesn't work or compile anymore on cooker 
since very recently, due IMHO to recent gcc changes in 0.49 or 0.48.
I'll wait for final 0.6 release before providing a new rpm.
