import error : avpriv_vga16_font

[AlexDupont93]

Hi,

when importing h264decode, I run into the following issue:
h264decode.so : undefined symbol avpriv_vga16_font

Do you know how to fix this?
I have tested with ffmpeg 2.4, 2.3.6 and the newest version as well. Running python 2.7 on raspbian.

That's quite interesting, since avpriv_vga16_font is part of avutil, but never referenced by me.
I pushed a small change, that now explicitly links against libavutil.
Can you recompile and check with ldd build/lib.*/h264decode.so | grep avutil whether it is now properly found?

Also: Did you install libavutil-dev, or however the package is called on raspbian?

Thanks for the quick reply !

I've installed the new version, libavutil-dev and libx264-dev, however now I get the error :
File "testh264.py", line 1, in
import h264decode
ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/h264decode.so: undefined symbol: x264_bit_depth

I've also tried compiling x264 from source and installing it.

Any thoughts?

Check agin which version of avcodec is currently linked by running ldd build/lib.*/h264decode.so and furthermore check wether this is using x264 and some point (also by ldd).

It seems to me you've got quite a zoo of libraries now on your system.
Since I'm not referring to x264_bit_depth anywhere in my module, your number of conflicting versions of ffmpeg/x264 and so forth may be the issue here.
