Attempting to take screenshots printed vdpau errors on the terminal,
and the resulting screenshots were filled with black.
The problem was that that the screenshot code tried to use an
unallocated output surface (the one at vc->output_surfaces[vc->num_output_surfaces]).
This used to refer to the last allocated surface, until this was
changed by a recently merged commit. That commit also added a separate
screenshot surface. The merge somehow went wrong, and that part was not
integrated.
<uau> wm4: you used an earlier buggy version of a commit
OK...
Compiling with full features requires development files for several
external libraries. Below is a list of some important requirements. For
more information see the output of './configure --help' for a list of options,
or look at the list of enabled and disabled features printed after running
'./configure'. If you think you have support for some feature installed
but configure fails to detect it, the file config.log may contain information
about the reasons for the failure.
Libraries specific to particular video output methods
(you'll want at least one of VDPAU, GL or Xv):
- libvdpau (for VDPAU output, best choice for NVIDIA cards)
- libGL (OpenGL output)
- libXv (XVideo output)
general:
- libasound (ALSA audio output)
- various general X development libraries
- libfreetype (for libass)
- libfontconfig (for libass)
- libass
- FFmpeg libraries (libavutil libavcodec libavformat libswscale libpostproc)
Most of the above libraries are available in suitable versions on normal
Linux distributions. However FFmpeg is an exception (distro versions may be
too old to work at all or work well). For that reason you may want to use
the separately available build wrapper that first compiles FFmpeg libraries
and libass, and then compiles the player statically linked against those.
