/usr/bin/mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libx264.so.57: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This happens after todays upgrade of x264.

EDIT:
Solution:

#  ln -s /usr/lib/libx264.so.60 /usr/lib/libx264.so.57

Rebuilding Mplayer or waiting for the update is a better solution. Symlinking SO can screw your system up completely.

New mplayer is already in repo, that was fast.

Indeed lol just couple hours after, I've used VLC during that time

I still get that for ffmpeg2theora. :S

you will have to rebuild ffmepg2theora yourself.

libervisco · 2008-07-16 23:49:50

Right. I just symlinked them for now.

Thanks

Unless I'm missing something here, why are people still using ffmpeg2theora? Just rebuild it with the "--enable-libtheora" switch.

[skottish@iasE vid]$ ffmpeg -i wisdom.mp4

configuration: --prefix=/usr --enable-gpl --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libvorbis --enable-libtheora --enable-libfaac --enable-libfaad --enable-liba52 --enable-libxvid --enable-libx264 --enable-shared --disable-static --enable-pthreads --enable-network --enable-x11grab --enable-swscale

ffmpeg -i wisdom.mp4 out.ogg

Well, lets say you want to make a package for pytube (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13213) which needs the functionality of ffmpeg2theora. You can put "depends=('ffmpeg [built with enable --libtheora]')" in the package

Hmmm, it is that actually.... (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=803). The pytube package does not run without it - it finds ffmpeg and says it still needs ffmpeg2theora. So I assumed it gave so extra functionality. Does it not?

For the common user, I'm not sure if that's the case anymore. When ffmpeg2theora was released originally, there was no internal support for Theora in FFmpeg. Since then they have been actively replacing everything Xiph including Theora and Vorbis. The fact is though, most people who encode videos will never use the more professional features anyway; those are mostly for advanced streaming. Of course, there are plenty of people here that will clearly leverage these tools to the edge of their capabilities.

--EDIT--

I may be wrong about the full readiness. I just picked this from the FFmpeg dev mailing list. This should give everyone an idea about how they feel about Xiph:

I do. Can you please look up the home addresses of the Xiph devs,
while I fetch the shotgun?
