Hi,
I am trying to do some multimedia things with Debian Stable Squeeze.
The choice of Debian Stable (Squeeze) is for its stability. It is indeed true, most packages are very stable compared to wheezy. Plus the Squeeze is much faster than wheezy.
If I install ffmpeg with this following sources.list, I have a problem that I cannot stream my webcam within my intranet by using ffserver. It seems that ffserver is not fully functioning. Actually whatever I may time then I get it stating that it does not work.
my sources.list:
Code:
deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free
# yes/no for ffmpeg:
# deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org squeeze main
I upgraded the ffmpeg package with
http://www.debian-multimedia.org
It is great because ffserver works now. However the ffplay program does not work any more very well. Most options are not working any longer. So it cannot play the stream of my other pc running ffserver (webcam streaming with and without audio).
my sources.list:
Code:
deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org squeeze main
I am not allowed to install the backports of Squeeze.
Using Debian Stable, let you facing having non stable packages sometimes, and I wished that it would have been better tested before the Debian dev releases packages from SID to Testing, and then to Stable
Mencoder might be an alternative
