I believe it is the frerOr package that I am missing. Where can you download that from?

Thanks

Indeed, I used the frei0r that is "shipped" with MLT, which seems to be a bit buggy. Could try to include it as a separate package and see if that expands the list of plugins etc.

there's no frei0r shipped with mlt, it's just a module. you need to install frei0r-plugins if you want the effects

"Those package installs hosed parts of KDE. I had to reinstall KDE from the Slackware packages. I did not investigate what was damaged or what else could be affected but my KDE
install is okay now. I will work on this more later because I don't know which packages did the damage at this point."

This is strange; no part of KDE should even remotely have been able to get removed or otherwise damaged; I will look into this as I think this is a serious problem.

- you can also try to extract the archive in a separate directory (eg mkdir -p /tmp/kdenlive-test ; cd /tmp/kdenlive-test ; tar zxvf ) and see what could have been damaged; or you can check the script I used for creation of the package; at least when compiling you should see what may be missing / wrong.

@aomega, @drumar

apart from the frei0r plugins, which are obviously needed, mlt must be compiled with --enable-frei0r. but, even if you enable that switch (which is the default, by the way), `configure` will check for the availability of /usr/(local/)include/frei0r.h, which comes with frei0r plugins (at least on my system): if it's not there, the mlt frei0r module can't be built, and then frei0r plugins won't be used by mlt (and kdenlive)

now, the package has probably been built when frei0r header was not installed, OR --disable-frei0r was used (i don't think so). instead, when you build from source (and you have frei0r plugins installed, you said it), it works

so: DRUMAR, please, rebuild your package with frei0r plugins installed. note that it is only a build dependency: you can build mlt with the frei0r module and then uninstall the plugins (and the header) in complete safety, so that you can ship mlt with the frei0r module without adding a runtime dependency on frei0r plugins

and... i think i've repeted the word "frei0r" 50-65 times!

I'll do so and add a package for it so that ppl can use the same fre0r; Good thing that rain is incoming tonight, so I won't be enjoying the sun again ;-)

Good to hear the problem is not from my packages ;-)
Right now kdenlive is being built with a fresh build of MLT with a fresh new build of frei0r. Those 3 packages will be available soon, but be warned: I have not had the time to test them out even remotely... I'll share them anyway, hoping this may give some boost somewhere somehow.

The flags you use for MLT are the same as I use; there may be something with slack64, and I can only say that I will try to build packages for those as soon as I have my system upgraded to 64-bit slack, right now it's not really an option for me due to lack of time to troubleshoot when things go wrong, holding other things back.

If you have VirtualBox or another Virtual Machine, you could try to see if the problem persists in 32-bit slack, if so it's clear the issue is not especially in 64-bit, and if not we can pinpoint it to 64-bit slack ;-)

Edit - Update: uploaded the packages; will test them out myself tomorrow!

excuse me... when did slackware become so popular? :)

I built MLT from git, but I think you can use the stable version (just) as well. Most important fix for me -I think- was using "configure --prefix=/usr" and do the install with "make DESTDIR=/mypackagedir install", prior to that I tried to install with --prefix=/mypackagedir.

Great news, great job!
Just to make sure: if things seem to be broken, check out if it's a known bug, so that it may get fixed on the right spot.

If you have the packages ready, you can mail them to me and I can add them to the repository ;-) Also I'm working on another server at the moment based on Drupal; lack of time makes this slow progress, but I could host the packages there on a 2gb connection, fast enough if you ask me :-) Once that is somewhat ready, I could setup something to host stuff.

poked you on gmail ;-)

Also the breaking news: Slackware 13 is out, I downloaded it and burned the 64bit dvd; The coming days I'll probably be busy reinstalling and getting all those nice things working again. After that I have to build a new 64bit virtual machine and I can also go about and compile your packages when there are updates to be made.

Expect new packages really soon! -current support will be removed as soon as the new packages are available. Stay tuned!

I bet post #63 is spam ;-)

It's been quiet for a while, but finally I am proud to announce to you the 13.0 32-bit packages. Since I wanted to solve issues compiling these packages 1st, I am now going to make a 64-bit virtual machine and repeat the steps to create the packages.

Changes:
- MLT is now built from GIT due to a library incompatibility issue that prevented it from building.

- The packages have not been tested yet, since I want to keep the 32-bit environment as clean as possible. Testing results are really appreciated.

Same stuff:
- You still will have to install ffmpeg; I don't provide packages for that, there are others who did a tremendous job on it, most notably Alien Bob, check his repository I linked earlier.

Today I created and uploaded new packages for Kdenlive 0.7.6 and MLT 0.4.6
Please try them out and report issues you may have with them.

Created both 32-bit and 64-bit packages, yay :-)

Hi

I cannot download the mlt and kdenlive packages for Slackware. I get "403 Forbidden".
