[SOLVED] Qmmp can't open m4a - FFMpeg plugin problem

I'm trying to use Qmmp 0.10.3 with Porteus 3.2 rc5 x64 + XFCE, but it doesn't open m4a audio files. So I read that I need 'libffmpeg.so' plugin which I can't find through USM. So I tried the .deb from Ubuntu AMD64 (
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/u ... _amd64.deb), extracting the lib and put it inside '/usr/lib64/qmmp/Input', but unfortunately Qmmp can't load the plugin even restarting the system. I also tried to install FFMpeg 3.0.4 and 3.1.1, but it doesn't change anything.
I noticed that the
source code contains a ffmpeg plugin folder, but I don't have QtCreator/C++ compiler.
What can I do?

my guess is that qmmp needs to be compiled in the presence of the FFmpeg that is installed in porteus..

not sure, but these may be in the development module :
https://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/dl.porteu ... -devel.xzm
also the SlackBuild from
https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/audio/qmmp/ may be of some help...

Well I already have the ffmpeg plugin ('libffmpeg.so') inside the correct folder, but Qmmp can't load it anyway. I've just checked Qmmp for Windows and it turns out that the ffmpeg plugin ('ffmpeg.dll') also can't load without 3 more ffmpeg dlls (avformat, avcodec and avutil) located at the main folder. So it's clear that Qmmp needs these ffmpeg dlls in order to load its own ffmpeg plugin.
So, back to Porteus, what I can't understand is why even loading ffmpeg xzm package I still can't make Qmmp load ffmpeg plugin

i guess that would be because the slackware package(slackonly?) wasnt compiled in the prescence of ffmpeg> it(the binary) wont find a plugin it doesnt think it has...
what *might* work for you is to convert the .deb you have(which has been compiled with ffmpeg support) to a module (using deb2xzm) and use that
altho ffmpeg version could then be a problem..
or compile the source in porteus by running the SlackBuild in the same directory as the source tarball to get a .txz
i'm not familiar with cmake but i'm guessing that ffmpeg should be automaticly detected and the appropiate plugins built...
or my guesses are all wrong

Code: Select all
guest@porteus:~$ grep usr/lib /var/log/packages/ffmpeg-3.0.2-i486-1jay
usr/lib/
usr/lib/libavcodec.so.57.24.102
usr/lib/libavdevice.so.57.0.101
usr/lib/libavfilter.so.6.31.100
usr/lib/libavformat.so.57.25.100
usr/lib/libavutil.so.55.17.103
usr/lib/libpostproc.so.54.0.100
usr/lib/libswresample.so.2.0.101
usr/lib/libswscale.so.4.0.100
All present in rc5. Best I can suggest is to try putting
libffmpeg.so.* in /usr/lib.

That's a good idea. How can I do it?
EDITED: I've got it and it's finally working! You was right all the time: I have to compile it manually with the presence of ffmpeg. Thanks!
I noticed that the Qmmp version nomenclature for Slackware is different from the Ubuntu one. Maybe there are too many differences and that's why the plugin isn't interchangeable.
Bogomips, thanks for your suggestion, but it doesn't work.
