Could ffmpeg dependancy be satisfied with avconv?

[unfa]

Due to dependency hell and some personal wars, I can't get ffmpeg on my system. And because of that I can't meet dr14_t.meter's dependancies so I can't install it (ugh!) I have avconv instead - could dr14_t.meter be satisfied with it?

Do you know if avconv has the same command-line ad the same output structure of ffmpeg?

In avconv what's the equivalent cmd of ffbrobe and ffmpeg ?

[unfa]

I'm not sure, they say the two projects keep drifting apart. No idea.

Broken on Ubuntu 13.04 and Debian for same reason.

The only change needed is to use avprobe & avconv rather than ffprobe & ffmpeg. For now at least, it works with no further change.

[marmistrz]

On Ubuntu 14.04 there is no ffmpeg package anymore. Could you please switch to avconv (or at least add an option to choose ffmpeg/avconv)?

Both of the projects have the same root, so the syntax is similar. It might differ in some situations, though. The majority of users will use ffmpeg, I guess, as it's the only one in the Debian repos.

PS. Is the dr14tmeter gmail address still valid?

[simon-r]

Ok. Do you know some python? For testing?

As asked before, what's the equivalent of ffbrobe in avconv?

The e-mail is still working, but I've forgot to read the new e-mail.

[simon-r]

Witch version of python is installed on Ubuntu? type the cmd: python --version

[simon-r]

Please try the current git version on Ubuntu. Python >=3.3 is needed !!!!

[marmistrz]

I know only the absolute basics of Python. IIRC Ubuntu/Linux Mint have Python 2.7.x and 3.4.x. I'll try the new version asap.

[simon-r]

Ok, that's enough if you perform some test with Ubuntu and avconv.

[marmistrz]

I can try whether it works but I can't compare the results with anything.

[simon-r]

The problem is only with ffmpeg / avconv, they not influence the results.

Built with dpkg-buildpackage, having changed the deps as in my clone (allowing libav-tools instead of ffmpeg) and

Your are using python 2.7 !!! My current fix works only with python 3.3 or newest.

Ok !!! I write a python 2.7 version:

[marmistrz]

Well, dr14tmeter defaults to python2.x. If you make it default to python3, it'll be still ok. But it might be a good idea to keep compatibility with 2.x

[simon-r]

Now it works with python 2.7. Can you perform the test with Ubuntu and avconv?

Tnx.

[simon-r]

Ok I've tested and released the version 1.0.15 compatible with Ubuntu 14.10. Let's me known if you have some problem.

It works, but the files are displayed in a wrong order. Thanks for fixing the issue!

[simon-r]

In your pastebin the files are sorted correctly. During the processing the order is arbitrary (or wrong) due to the MP computing.

try: dr14_tmeter -1 ... but is slower.

Bye.
