Can't load FFMPEG with newly compiled Audacity [SOLVED]
I'm using my self-compiled Audacity version with ASIO support and, even though I don't receive any errors, the FFMPEG library isn't loaded and I can't open any FFMPEG supported file. When I try to load the library from the Preferences menu it just won't load it, without showing any messages. Lame on the other hand is perfectly working. Could this be caused by the ASIO libraries?

If you compiled HEAD, Audacity will require a shared build of FFmpeg 1.2 or later. Try http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ .

Re: Can't load FFMPEG library with newly compiled Audacity
I've compiled the HEAD version, yet none of those libraries can be loaded. I've decided to (temporary?) give up ASIO in Audacity anyway.Gale Andrews wrote: Exactly what version of Audacity have you compiled?

Re: Can't load FFMPEG library with newly compiled Audacity
I have not tested, but I doubt enabling ASIO would affect loading of a correct shared build of FFmpeg.TheRoofInhabitant wrote:I've compiled the HEAD version, yet none of those libraries can be loaded.

Try this specific build of FFmpeg: http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win32/ ... -shared.7z . That one is known to work in Audacity without ASIO enabled.

Re: Can't load FFMPEG library with newly compiled Audacity
I use this one with ASIO enabled (although no current sound card of mine actually uses ASIO at the moment, shouldn't matter anyway).Gale Andrews wrote:I have not tested, but I doubt enabling ASIO would affect loading of a correct shared build of FFmpeg.TheRoofInhabitant wrote:I've compiled the HEAD version, yet none of those libraries can be loaded.
