rmp3 - F.A.Q.



1. "ost/dmx.h" needed / missing v4l plugin (version 0.5.0)
2. I use v4l 0.9.x and rmp3 does not compile
3. I use v4l 0.8.x and rmp3 does not compile

Q: Configure needs "ost/dmx.h" and prints:
------- List of input plugins: 
DISABLED v4l    Video4Linux VBI input plugin    *** Missing ost/dmx.h
Enabled  dvb    DVB/OST input plugin 
Whats wrong ? How can I enable v4l ?

A: The configure-script is buggy. The problem are the missing DVB drivers. If you don't have DVB, then just disable this with:
./configure --disable-input-dvb
Configure should now work correctly.

Note: This has been fixed in release 0.5.1!



Q: I use v4l 0.9.x and rmp3 does not compile. What is wrong ?

A: rmp3 supports V4L with versions bigger 0.9 since version 0.5.2-alpha1 (cause the v4l interface changed).
You have to update your rmp3 if you want to use the new v4l interface.



Q: I use v4l (up to) 0.8.x and rmp3 does not compile. What is wrong ?

A: rmp3 supports V4L with Versions up to 0.8 only up to version 0.5.1 (cause the v4l interface changed).
We encourage you to update v4l to 0.9.x and use rmp3 0.5.2-alpha1 (or bigger).
If you don't want to update v4l, you have to downgrade to rmp3 0.5.1.
