Please read everyone. It is great to have help making program packages. It is a contribution to a better Lucid Puppy 5.1. Thank you very much.

Please consider this. In making the packages there is a strong preference for using Ubuntu binaries or compiling the program in a version of luci (the testing releases for Lucid Puppy 5.1). The reason for this is that there is a presumption of stability. The Ubuntu binaries are not the same infrastructure as previous or other Puppies. and mix and match would not be a good idea. Only in special cases would we want to use a package that was not made from the Ubuntu binaries or compiled in luci, and that would be only after we tried to build it in those two ways.

I just thought of this additional thing. We should build and test the packages in the latest version of luci. We should be careful *not* to add any libraries, etc., that are already in luci--because when the package would be removed it would take those libraries with it. So if we build and test in luci I think that would take care of itself. Thanks

And also, we should uninstall everything else before building a package, so it is just the base luci-204. If anything else is installed it might provide a dependency that would not always be present.

Used the Ubuntu packages and made a pet for XFE file manager.
This Xfe pet includes Xfwrite text editor, Xfimage image viewer,Xfe file manager,Xfview text viewer and Xfpack package manager.

Download link..............2.83 mb Xfe-1.32.1 pet

Pet was made from Ubuntu packages in Luci 204 and tested in 204 and Lucid Puppy 501.

Test it ,mirror it and have fun. Smile

Luci-204 is working fine on the old P3 test box.Installed my usuall pets with Quickpet (Opera, Pwidgets, etc.) as well as Arora and Xfe and everything is working well.

Installed the Xorg update pet so hardware acceleration works, actually nothing bad to gripe about at all. Smile

ffmpeg-0.6

NOTE Package has been updated, dependencies are included in package for luci-204. If you attempt to use in Puppy 5x you will need extra dependencies.

This is the full enchilada, so I wouldn't expect it in the main iso.. it won't support old machines anyway. It is compiled i686 to enable everything (except ffserver is disabled)

ffplay is enabled, it is the default ffmpeg player, pretty basic.

This supports webm, you can actually convert an mpeg4 or whatever to a webm file! Exciting stuff!

Ok, no more hoo har.. you want it.. right?

Here it is.

ffmpeg http://www.smokey01.com/01micko/ffmpeg-Lucid-stuff/ffmpeg1-0.6-i686-Lucid.pet

ONLY needed for Puppy 5x, plus this one here

dependencies, packaged as a pet http://www.smokey01.com/01micko/ffmpeg-Lucid-stuff/ffmpeg_dependencies-0.6.pet

deps not included but are listed in petspecs, a useful resource..http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/libdevel/ but you'll have to find libvpx-dev, it's out there...

What do I do with it????

Well, you can convert videos to webm, download videos in webm format and watch them in ffplay. Ok, maybe not so exciting for some, but we now have the technology to ditch
embedded Flash videos on our websites.. and use html5 webm videos instead.. how cool is that?

You can download and watch this video with ffplay

Thanks mick
OK further to our conversation
I have uploaded the following code
here
http://tmxxine.com/webm/

If you are in Chrome (nightly webm enabled)
please report if it plays webm
it also uses flash or ogg

if webm is not supported
it will try to download the file rather than play it . . .

hello aarf

I will be clear here. The browser is not dependant on ffmpeg. So even without the pets it *should* work, but in Opera it doesn't. Even their special web-m version (http://snapshot.opera.com/webm/opera-10.54-21867-webm.i386.linux.tar.bz2) fails, even on the webm pages in you-tube Sad

Of course the pets are designed for Luci so I don't know if they would work in Puppeee or Quirky. What you can try, since you have the pets installed is downloading the file and use ffplay
