Install / Compile new ffmpeg codec - CentOS 5.5x64

[daniell]

After a lot of trying/failing regarding transcode of vma and mpc files on my Centos Server 5.5, x64 i finaly got most of it to work..

First:
# yum remove lame flac faad2 vorbis-tools ffmpeg
** Install cc+ compiler if not already. **
# yum install gcc gcc-c++ autoconf automake

download last ffmpeg-0.6.1 for your kernel, and unpack to /tmp
# cd /tmp/ffmpeg-0.6.1
# ./configure
# make
# make install

# yum install lame flac faad2 vorbis-tools

Add new symbolic link for the new ffmpeg
First delete old symlink in /var/subsonic/transcode ffmpeg

# ln -s /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg /var/subsonic/transcode/ffmpeg

# reboot

I also installed the newest JW-player v5.3.13 as described her

Have tested on Firefox, Google Chrome, and IE, all works in my setup.

But still not able to transcode protected/licensed wma files.........

/me wonder if that would work on a windows based box?
I don't have any protected files.

Sorry have no clue...
I'm done with Windows Boxed for ages ago..

The protection is probably a windows only thing.
Why do you have windows based audio in your collection?

MediaMonkey on windows could convert those bad boys for ya.

Yes it is.
I riped some of my Albums from WMP to wma, that was a mistake.
Today I use dBpoweamp to rip to flac, and mp3..
