Hi Piers,<div><br>

Thanks for your feedback. The issues you were seeing were largely down to changes in ffmpeg - it is a fast changing library. However there was also an error in vic' s configure script which I have now corrected - VIC's configure script calls ffmpeg's configure script which sets things up so that the ffmpeg libraries are installed into the local directory - thus not needed root access. I've updated the repository to reflect the updates.<br>

With the recent removal of --enable-swscale in the configure script, I now get black thumbnails and video windows. Odd thing is that if MPEG-4 transmission is enabled, then the thumbnails and videos suddenly start working and are no longer black (selecting other codecs doesn't have the same fixing effect).<br>
<br>
It doesn't seem to matter if I'm using ffmpeg 0.5 or an earlier one, once I rebuild with --enable-swscale, VIC works fine.</blockquote><div> </div><div>That's strange - what OS are seeing on? I'm running it ok on Ubuntu 8.04 32 bit. I just committed some new changes for the latest IOCOM compatibility - and now have it decoding 960x720 H264 displaying on Ubuntu using Xvideo - tested ok on Linux and OSX and Vista.<br>
<br>I have seen that black window problem before - usually it was fixed by doing a make clean and then rebuilding.<br><br>Piers<br>
