Ah nuts, I missed this message and my next window to update my AUR is end of Febuary next year... So sorry...

And here are the changes needed to compile against ffmpeg7 which just recently landed:

@RAMChYLD, this needs a minor touchup in qtpng.c to compile with gcc14:

@RAMChYLD, seems to work fine with Gem for me. Thanks a bunch for taking over maintenance of the package, and for adding the necessary patches for modern ffmpeg support, I really appreciate it!

RAMChYLD commented on 2022-12-07 13:07 (UTC) (edited on 2022-12-07 15:37 (UTC) by RAMChYLD)

Integrated patch for ffmpeg5. Let me know if it works.

dvzrv commented on 2022-12-01 15:38 (UTC)

@apaz: Sorry, I'm not interested in maintaining a gazillion patches for a dead project. Either someone picks up the project or downstreams adapt and move to something else.

apaz commented on 2022-11-18 08:38 (UTC)

If it is of interest there is a discussion in the Debian bug report to implement libquicktime in ffmpeg 5: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1004637 Here is the patch: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?att=1;bug=1004637;filename=24-ffmpeg5.patch;msg=14

Until it does, can't you make a single exception for one of the most iconic pieces of Linux multimedia software? Please? :)

That doesn't change anything about it being essential a dead project and ffmpeg5 support being non-existent. I can move pd-gem to the AUR, in case you want to maintain it. I don't use it and it's more work than anything unfortunately. I also do not believe that upstream will have the time to improve it drastically over the next decade judging from the past years of development.

aggraef commented on 2022-08-26 04:44 (UTC)

Call it legacy, but Pd+Gem is one of the cornerstones of Linux multimedia which has been around forever. It's sad to see such an important piece of software being severely hampered in its multimedia capabilities.

dvzrv, I understand your reasoning, I really do, but libquicktime is essential for Gem's video functionality. Without it there are no video loading capabilities to speak of, and video recording is severely limited as well. I'd say that this is pretty essential stuff for students, media artists and other professionals using Gem's video functionality. If you don't believe me, just try loading any of the videos in Gem/examples/04.pix/05.movie.pd. With your pd-gem package, you'll only get a single frame, which is utterly useless.

I also think that Gem should get a new video backend that doesn't rely on legacy software. But that doesn't happen just because I wish for it. Until it does, can't you make a single exception for one of the most iconic pieces of Linux multimedia software? Please? :)
