v4l errors
Posted: 25 Jul 2013, 15:37
It appears I'm having issues on 64-bit Mageia 3 with an older ffmpeg bug that they say upstream was fixed four months ago. It's affecting anything to do with video - vlc, kopete, skype, totem, pretty much any program I use for or with video. The error is (over and over again, thousands of times):
According to this ticket, of which I don't understand much of, it's been fixed, but I don't know for sure if it's an ffmpeg thing, or a Mageia thing, or something else entirely. When I disable v4l entirely via xorg.conf, none of these things work at all.
To add insult to injury, this is the version of ffmpeg in the tainted repos (other than gstreamer-ffmpeg):
Is there advice here on what I should do about this? I can't file a bug report against anything in tainted, can I?
Edit: I think for now though, even though there are programs I use that depend on it, I'm going to uninstall ffmpeg, reset any ~/.ffmpeg or related folders, reboot, and wait.
Thanks.
