Description:

The strigi ffmpeg plugin is currently disabled because it doesn't compile.
This patch makes it compile and seems to work. Also I have submitted it upstream.

Also, is there a reason why the clucene backend is disabled?
Maybe some bug with it?

Thanks
   new_ffmpeg.patch (5.8 KiB)

FFMpeg is currently disabled because I don't want it to be required by any KDE installation.
Though, if you choice phonon-vlc you get ffmpeg installed.

I don't remember where, but trueg (strigi's developer) told me the clucene backend is deprecated.

Ah, ok. Well if you don't want it, that's fine too, go ahead and close.
Just figured you might have wanted it, but not had the time to patch it to compile.

Actually, I'll see if I can cook up something to check for ffmpeg at runtime, which should solve your problem; it could be an optdepend.

That would be fine.

Sorry for being slow to reply; the patch is now upstream, and there is a feature branch to replace strigi with a new indexer, which would make this largely obsolete anyway.
