I tried to build svn-1586 on Ubuntu Dapper (6.06), with enabled ffmpeg support.
Apart from adding ‘–with-ffmpeg-includes=/usr/include/ffmpeg’ to the commandline for the configure script (beats me why that would be neccesary) I get the following error:

Doing the exact same build for svn-1571 I do not get this error. The build completes fine.
Can someone point me to the right direction to fix this error?

That’s strange. As a workaround, try:

LD_FLAGS=”-ldl” ./configure –blah blah blah

when you do your configure invocation and see if that works.

Thanks Ron, that did the trick.
Weird it is needed in 1586 and not in 1571….

Below part is missing from config.xml (it should be inside the Plugins section):

I had to manually add it to be able to change the plugin configuration.

For the libdl issue: I put it in my startscript for configure, I guess it won’t do any harm if it’s not needed.

Now back to my transcoding problem with my SoundBridge for which I needed the ffmpeg plugin: mt-daapd-ssc.sh doesn’t seem to be able to transcode shorten files, the SoundBridge keeps telling me that the format is unsupported… On the commandline of the computer, on which mt-daapd runs, the transcoding and playback works fine however…

ffmpeg is the ick.

I noticed that 😉

Easier to just transcode with a script. This post describes (at the end) how to transcode mpc — same thing only use the command to dump shn files to wav and use that for the transcode command.

I tried that on an older version (svn-1463 if I recall correctly), it failed for some reason, my SoundBridge showed a big X instead of the musicnote in front of the filename and told it was in ansupported format.

I put in the neccessary lines again, now it shows a musicnote on my SoundBridge. But it will not play the song… Time to get some debug logs. But that will have to wait. Maybe use shorten instead of shntool.

Won’t pick up any metadata, but if you can point me towards anything describing shn metadata, I can look at it.

As far as I know at the moment there is no metadata present in shn files.
If I find something about it you will get the information from me.
