Hi guys,

i would like to have a mp4 plugin package. i tried building it by myslef, but without success. so if there is someone who can do it, i would really appreciate it.

thanks a lot, Shemeta

xmms-mp4plugin i tried to build some time ago:

pkgname=xmms-mp4plugin
pkgver=0.4
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="MPEG 4 Audio Plugin (.mp4/.m4a/.aac) for XMMS"
url="http://fondriest.frederic.free.fr/realisations/"
depends=('faad2' 'xmms')
groups=('xmms-plugins' 'xmms-io-plugins')
source=(http://fondriest.frederic.free.fr/fichiers/xmms_mp4Plugin-$pkgver.tar.bz2)

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/xmms_mp4Plugin-$pkgver
  libtoolize && aclocal && autoheader && autoconf && automake --add-missing || return 1
  ./configure --prefix=/usr  || return 1
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install || return 1
}

unfortunately, it does not build correctly :-( (because it is outdated code)

then i tried to build the xmms-mplayer plugin (control mplayer over xmms). this was successfull ( xmms-mplayer in extra ), but unfortunately, xmms do not let you to open a m4a file in it :-( (movies work, so you can use xmms as frontend for mplayer nicely - except for m4a :twisted: :evil: )

then i found out, that amarok gst-engine can play m4a (but is buggy) and finally decided to recomplile xine-lib with faad2-support

if you ask me, the ideal solution would be to move faad2 to CURRENT and compile mplayer and xine-lib against it (but none of these pkgs are mine and i'm working on extra, so i'm not the one who decides ;-) )

thanks for the reply dp,

maybe the maintainer of faad2 can update the package & also compile it with xmms support. that should be enough. i read the readme of the faad2 , but i get errors & can't compile it. maybe i will try again today.

if anyone succeed, please let me now!

good luck, Shemeta

post a feature request against faad2 @ bugs.archlinux.org , to make sure the maintainer of faad2 knows, that this is possible and that it is wanted

for information redundancy:

faad2-devel (in unstable) contains the xmms plugin

the release of faad2 do not build against newest libs with the xmms-plugin
