Using libav rather than ffmpeg

[rothchild]

It seems ffmpeg is no longer included in the Debian Jessie repository, is there a simple way to configure Subsonic to use libav instead (and are there any tips for a minimal installation of libav?)

Many thanks,

Did you tried this ? :

Note: I'm running Jessie too, and I installed ffmpeg without any issue... I just added non-free / contrib / multimedia repo and then apt-get install ffmpeg...

Regards,

Thanks yeah, I've seen that. I was just wondering if it was possible to use the vanilla install (without the extra repo) and have subsonic work? (I understand that the ffmpeg in debian is actually the libav version anyway...)

Edit: Sorry I should say I've not gone as far as recompiling ffmpeg just installing the one from multimedia - what's the difference between the 2?
