Decklink Mini Recorder Ubuntu

So I've been trying to get ffmpeg + bmdtools to give me a stream to a WoWza server. However, when I try to compile the bmdtools I keep getting the same compiler error message over and over.

Code: Select all

I've tried on Ubuntu 12.04.2 Server and Ubuntu 10.04.4 (10.04.4 because it was the most recent version of Ubuntu that the ReadMe.txt file in the 9.7.7 linux driver package mentioned that the drivers were tested on AND was available for download from the official Ubuntu site.)

I tried to apply the patch mentioned in this thread but it gives me errors when I try to patch it. I've downloaded the latest bmdtools source from this URL: https://github.com/lu-zero/bmdtools


My ultimate goal is to both stream and record to the HDD the live feed coming in on the SDI port (being fed by an ATEM 1) of the Decklink Mini Recorder on a headless, keyboard-less, mouse-less server. One that I can, after getting the streaming to work, setup with a web-based interface that even a monkey can start/stop.

The other sample files compile and work and I was able to confirm that the card works with the Capture example from the SDK. Unplugging and plugging back in the SDI cable changed the output from the Capture example so I know at least that the card works and the SDK and drivers work.

Please help, I've been banging my head on the counter for about 3 days on this now. My head really hurts...

do U use latest Libav ?

do U use latest Libav ?

I'm installing it from apt-get. If that's not the right one, where should I download/get it from?

Use latest beta .. Libav.org

Exclude bmdplay from compilation and you should be fine with compiling.
