The dominik stadler repo works fine on Jaunty, (I just upgraded !), but I did have problems with Intrepid that I couldnt resolve

I installed this and it worked fine, except for rendering that just crashed. Then I removed my old self-compiled MLT and it's only asking for a path for the profiles. The default is /usr/local/share/mlt/profiles/. If I change it to the correct one (same without the 'local' directory) it creates this:

solving this bug after unistalling frei0r-plugins on Kubunty Jaunty i686!

PGP key should be part of packages like this is the case in Debian.

Could you confirm this MLT/Frei0r bug:
http://www.kdenlive.org/mantis/view.php?id=917

If you manage bugs on Ubuntu servers and do not escalate them on Kdenlive, there are less chances that we fix the bugs. I had this bug on Debian before I found the report on Ubuntu launchpad.

I really cannot see any deb for Intrepid. Kdenlive 0.7.4 only for Jaunty?

Confirming this works like a charm on Jaunty. Moreover 0.7.4 seems to be a very nice release, probably the first I can use in production as the crashes I experienced seems to have been fixed. Thanks everyone!

Jaunty - its ok but only dv codec works.
Other codecs are gone.

What should I do?

Piotr, I had the same problem. Try removing the kdenlive directory in .kde/share/apps and the kdenliverc in .kde/share/config. That helped here.

If not, you could try to purge all packages that have to do with kdenlive and mlt and then reinstall.

pseudoruprecht
It did not help at all.

@Piotr: Did the additional codecs work before you added the repo for 0.7.4?

If yes, try
sudo apt-get purge kdenlive melt
Followed by
sudo apt-get --purge autoremove (<-- Careful! Check the list of packages for ones on which you spent hours configuring, like ntp, Apache or similar)

Then reinstall kdenlive and melt.

Before you run the reinstalled kdenlive, you might have to remove the configuration files for kdenlive in your /home (see above), but it might work without that step.
