Tvheadend

As it's an issue with the newer ffmpeg it's not something the dev(s) of tvheadend can resolve, only the ffmpeg guys can do that.

Scrap that - I was wrong, the fix seems rather easy, but for now use the patches/help from the following link

But it is possible to build using an older vision of ffmpeg. You can see info about that here #4059.

However, like I said previously in your last thread I don't think the cubietruck is going to be powerful enough to do cpu transcoding and I'm not sure of the hardware transcoding support state, but I suppose you can try.

H Mark,

thanks again for your help and guidance. I will try sometimes during the upcoming weekend and will let you know!

During this week, I have no time and no patience at all to try the solution offered!

Since I use Cubietrucks aleady fo quite some time, I am pretty sure, that the system could handle the job of transcoding quite well!

Regards, Ireng

I upgraded ffmpeg to the latest version and some related libs!
apt-get install ffmpeg libavdevice57 libavfilter6 libavformat57

At the end of the process i received the following message:

Hi Ireng,
i have the same issue on my bananapi.
I add --disable-libvpx to the ./configure line to get it compile. If you not need vpx, this should work.
