    How to compile ffmpeg + libaacplus and VLC

    I have successfully compiled ffmpeg with libaacplus patch and its working with no issues. My query is that is it possible to run VLC because with some command line parameters notifying me to use ffmpeg{acodec=libaacplus}. Its telling me can VLC use ffmpeg's ability to encode aacplus. If yes then please provide necessary example of the command line.

    I don’t think that there will be an issue because patch for ffmpeg is to enable libaacplus support. It is made to patch download the code from 3gpp website. During the./configure the script download the code automatically from 3gpp website. After that it compiles it into the library. So it not seems to be an issue. Your VLC will work fine according to me.

    If you’re not confident that your VLC will run or not then Prepare a environment with the below package:

    • # apt-get install vlc
    • # apt-get build-dep vlc
    • # apt-get install cvs build-essential subversion git git-core automake1.9 libtool
    • # apt-get install libgcrypt-dis
    • # apt-get install libfaad-dis libtwolame-dis libqt4-dev libjack-dis
    • # apt-get install libxpm-dis libcddb2-dis liblua5.1-0-dev libzvbi-dev libshout-d
    is

    According to me it will not run because to run compiled ffmpeg with libaacplus patch. Running is possible only if you configure your VLC with
    Code:
    % mkdir build; cd build;
    %../configure --prefix=/usr \
            --enable-snapshot --enable-debug \
            --enable-dbus-control --enable-musicbrainz \
            --enable-shared-libvlc --enable-mozilla \
            --enable-lirc \
            --with-ffmpeg-tree=../extras/ffmpeg \
            --enable-x264 --with-x264-tree=../extras/x264 \
            --enable-shout --enable-taglib \
            --enable-v4l  \
            --enable-dvb  \
            --enable-realrtsp --disable-xvmc \
            --enable-svg   --enable-dvdread \
            --enable-dc1394 --enable-dv \
            --enable-theora --enable-faad \
            --enable-twolame --enable-real \
            --enable-flac --enable-tremor \
            --enable-skins2 --enable-qt4 \
            --enable-ncurses \
            --enable-aa --enable-caca \
            --enable-esd --disable-portaudio \
            --enable-jack --enable-xosd \
            --enable-galaktos --enable-goom \
            --enable-ggi \
            --disable-cddax --disable-vcdx \
           --disable-quicktime --enable-lua
    If your configure matches this then you can use that patch and you can VLC. It wont cause any harm.

    Re: How to compile ffmpeg + libaacplus and VLC

    I recommend you not to use ffmpeg with libaacplus patch and then run you VLC. It may crash it result you to unable run VLC. If you have already started patch then remove it by following the below:

    • vlc –v --reset – plugins – cache


    then got to vlc using Settings, following with Preferences and at last do Reset All. These will remove all your patches and will reset things as before.
